HOW TO MAKE NO BAKE CORNFLAKE COOKIES Ingredients needed: granulated sugar (plain white sugar) brown sugar (either light or dark) mini marshmallows (For best results, make sure they are fresh.) salted butter (If you use unsalted butter, add 1/8 – 1/4 tsp salt with the sugars.) vanilla extract cornflake cereal  Measure the cornflakes and set them aside. Set out silicone pan liners or waxed paper. Basically you are making a thick caramel syrup that you will be pouring over the cornflakes. Bring the sugars, marshmallows, and butter to a boil in a large heavy pan. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.  Add the vanilla and cornflakes and stir till coated. Quickly drop spoonfuls of the hot mixture onto the silicone liners.  PRO TIP: I highly recommend using silicone baking liners for these caramel cookies. They work so much better than waxed paper. Nothing sticks to them! CORNFLAKE COOKIES VARIATIONS: Stir in some shredded coconut or chopped nuts for extra crunch. After they have cooled, drizzle them with melted chocolate.  Love salted caramel? While they are still warm, sprinkle them with a little kosher salt or flaked sea salt. If you prefer, you can press the mixture into a buttered 9×13″ pan and cut them into squares instead of dropping them onto silpat liners. It’s best to cut them while they are still slightly warm.
