Holiday Alternatives
If you want to make these cookies festive for the holidays, you can do one of two options.
- Add Festive Sprinkles – You can simply add colorful sprinkles to the finished cookies – just be sure to add the sprinkles to the cookies as soon as you drop them on the baking sheet.
- Turn them into Wreaths – You can add a few drops of green food coloring to the peanut butter mixture as you warm it up. Then simply use a wooden spoon handle to make holes in the center of the cookies to resemble wreaths. Decorate immediately with sprinkles and/or red hot candies.
How to Store Leftover Cornflake Cookies
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. You can place a piece of parchment paper between layers to prevent the cookies from sticking together. Store the container or bag in a cool, dry place like a pantry or cupboard away from heat.
