Ingredients

  • 10 ounce bag mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup roasted peanuts coarsely chopped
  • 5 cups cornflake cereal
  • ¼ cup holiday sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Lightly spritz a spoon or cookie scoop with non-stick spray.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Add the peanut butter and marshmallows. Stir constantly until silky smooth.
  • Pull the pot off the heat and stir in vanilla. It will bubble and hiss a bit.
  • Fold in the chopped peanuts, then gently fold in cornflakes until everything is coated.
  • Quickly drop heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepped pan.
  • Immediately top with holiday sprinkles (if using).
  • Refrigerate until the cookies are set - 30 to 40 minutes.

Notes

The two-spoon shuffle works great when scooping and portioning the cookies: one scoops, one nudges. Or use a cookie scoop
