Ingredients

Scale

For the cookies:

  • 1 bag butterscotch chips
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 6 cups corn flakes
  • Pink Himalayan sea salt or kosher salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butterscotch chips and peanut butter, stirring until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and gently fold in the corn flakes until evenly coated.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Sprinkle with salt if using.
  5. Let cookies set at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting.
  6. Store in an airtight container once firm.

Notes

  • Add chopped peanuts or crushed pretzels for extra texture.
  • Swap corn flakes with crispy rice cereal for a different crunch.
  • These freeze well—just thaw a few minutes before enjoying.
