Cookie Swap

Cookie Swap

Hey Ladies,

I had a GREAT time at the cookie swap this past Tuesday.  Amazing cookies that are seriously trying my self control.  Uplifting and fun conversation and just a much needed break for me.  As promised, here are some of the recipes from the swap.

Peanutbutter Cornflake Chews (Rena Jo)

2 cups sugar – 1 pint Light Karo Syrup – 2 cups peanut butter – 1/2 stick butter – 1 tsp vanilla – 12 oz Cornflakes

Mix all ingredients together in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour over cornflakes in a large bowl and mix together to coat.

Drop by spoonful, using a spoon coated with butter, onto wax paper.  Let chews cool completely before serving or storing.
