SPECIAL K PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Special K Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by jasonhewitt

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 C White Sugar
1 C White Corn Syrup
1 tsp Vanilla
1 pinch of Salt
1 1/3 C Peanut Butter
5 C Special K Cereal

Steps:

  • Have everything pre-measured and ready to go...this can set up fast. Over medium heat, stir sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and salt until boiling and sugar has melted. Stir in Peanut Butter. Stir in Cereal. Drop cookie size onto wax paper and let harden. Makes about 2-3 dozen depending on size.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. This means using real butter, sugar, and flour, and avoiding artificial flavors and preservatives.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is essential for ensuring that your cookies turn out the way they're supposed to. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients by weight, as this is more accurate than measuring by volume.
  • Chill your dough before baking: This helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. If you're short on time, you can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, but it's best to chill it for longer if you can.
  • Bake your cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will affect the texture of your cookies. For crispy cookies, bake them at a higher temperature. For chewy cookies, bake them at a lower temperature.
  • Don't overbake your cookies: Overbaked cookies are dry and crumbly. To prevent this, bake your cookies just until they're set around the edges and the tops are no longer shiny.

Conclusion:

With so many delicious cookie recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you love. Whether you like your cookies chewy, crispy, or somewhere in between, there's a recipe out there for you. So get baking and enjoy the delicious results!
