Klamath River in October
I have a favorite cookie recipe of my mother-in-law’s. We always referred to them as Priscilla Cookies.
I made it a couple of years ago right after we saw Elf and renamed them.
There is no reason these cookies should work. The recipe is every kind of sugar with some peanut butter added in and then cereal as the delivery medium to hold it all together.
And even as you are eating them you are thinking, wow, this is sweet, but also: how soon can I be eating another one?
This makes a lot so good for company but they freeze well, too. Or you can joyfully eat them all up. I haven’t tried other cereals but I am told Special K is the best.
Buddy the Elf Cookies
1 c sugar
1 c corn syrup
1 1/2 c peanut butter
6 c Special K Cereal
12 oz (2 c) chocolate chips
12 oz (2 c) butterscotch chips
Mix sugar and corn syrup over low heat. When dissolved, add peanut butter. Stir well.
Put cereal in a large bowl and add peanut butter mixture. Mix that all together.
Butter a 9×13 pan and add the Special K mix using whatever tricks you have to spread it into the corners and flatten it in. Let it cool.
Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips together and pour the mixture over your Special K – spreading around as needed.
When cool, cut into your favorite serving size.
