Time 30m

Yield about 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cornflake cereal
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of kosher salt
Nonpareils, for decorating

Steps:

  • Put the cereal in a large bowl. Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and whisk until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking occasionally, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, 5 to 6 minutes (it should register 230 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
  • Immediately pour the caramel over the cereal and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the cereal mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet. Let cool slightly, then use your fingers to gently form each into a mound or pyramid shape; sprinkle with nonpareils. Let cool completely.

NO BAKE CHOCOLATE HAYSTACK COOKIES

So good and easy to make! My siblings and I made huge batches of these cookies Sunday afternoons, and they were usually gone by Tuesday! The time for boiling the mixture is listed at 5 minutes, but if you cook it a little less, the cookies are chewier.
