Tips & Tricks (5)

Cornflake Crush Technique 🥣
Slightly crush the cornflakes before mixing to create varying textures and ensure more even distribution throughout the cookie dough.
Peanut Butter Precision 🥜
Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and smoother incorporation into the cookie batter, preventing clumping.
Golden Brown Perfection 🍪
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and space cookies evenly to achieve uniform golden edges and prevent burning.
Syrup Binding Secret 💧
Warm the corn syrup slightly before mixing to help it blend more seamlessly and create a more cohesive cookie mixture.
Cooling Crisping Trick ❄️
Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to help them set and develop their signature crispy-chewy texture.
