Recipe Friday--Cornflake Cookies

I used to pride myself on never buying cookies. Oh, we had cookies. But I baked them. From scratch, what with the creaming of the butter and sugar, etc., etc., etc.  Well. That ship has sailed. Now, I have a secondary character who doesn't buy cookies. That's good enough for me.

However, Blaze author Rhonda Nelson gave me a recipe that takes less time to make than it takes to go to the store. Plus, you don't have to turn on the oven--always good in hot weather. Plus, there's no chocolate. That might not be a plus for you, but it is for me. I'll take peanut butter over chocolate any day.

Cornflake Cookies

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
3/4 cup peanut butter
3 cups cornflakes

Mix sugar and corn syrup in large pot and bring to a once over boil, then take off the heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter and cornflakes. Drop by large spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Yummy.
