Ingredients
Scale

- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups cornflake cereal
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth.

- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the cornflake cereal.

Notes
- For a smoother peanut butter flavor, use creamy peanut butter. For extra crunch, use crunchy peanut butter.
- Ensure your butter is softened, not melted, for the best cookie texture.
- Do not overmix the dough after adding the flour.
