Easy No Bake Cookies - Family Activity

Want an easy recipe for cookies that your children can help make?  Here’s an easy no-bake cookie recipe that uses the following ingredients:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

2 cups chocolate chips

3 cups slightly crushed corn flake cereal

You will also need a cookie sheet or tray and a sheet of wax paper

Wooden spoon

Optional items: ice cream scoop; cupcake paper cups;  plate for serving

 Place the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl.  Heat on low setting.  Stop and stir after one minute.  Continue heating on low and stop after 30 seconds and stir until chocolate is smooth and creamy.

 Remove the bowl from the microwave.  Spoon the peanut butter into the chocolate.  Let your child stir the chocolate and peanut butter until the mixture is blended.

Gently stir in the crushed corn flakes.  With a spoon, fold the mixture over and over until the corn flakes are covered.

With a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, scoop the cookie dough with a spoon or ice cream scoop onto the waxed paper.  Make 16 cookie balls.

Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator until firm, about 2 hours.

Cookies can be placed in individual “cupcake” paper cups or placed on a plate to serve.

These no-bake cookies are easy to make for little “helping hands” to share in the preparations.  Why not include your child in making these delicious cookies for the holiday festivities.
