A few weeks ago, I collaborated with Nestle’s to share with you the many easy and delicious ways to spruce up refrigerated sugar cookie dough. It was a fun project to work on and I had a grand time baking up ingenious cookie varieties using the cookie dough and add-ons such as instant coffee and toffee bits, fresh rosemary leaves and Parmesan cheese, dried cranberries and orange zest, and ground ginger and cinnamon sugar.
The cookies were amazing, G polished them off within the week along with a half a jug of milk!
This post is NOT sponsored but the simple concept of turning basic refrigerated sugar cookie dough into countless flavors by the addition of simple pantry ingredients works so well, it deserves an encore. It’s my absolute favorite baking hack and I just love coming up with delicious ideas. Here now is my latest top pick, peanut butter corn flakes cookies!
Baking cookies can’t get any easier than this. All you do is combine refrigerated cookie dough and peanut butter, and stir in the corn flakes. You then chill the resulting dough for 10 to 15 minutes, roll it into balls (or use a scoop) and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes for the easiest and yummiest cookies ever!
Crisp, chewy, and loaded with peanut butter flavor and crunchy corn flakes, kids and adults alike will love them as a midday snack or anytime treat. Make sure to have ice cold milk ready. 🙂
