These cookies are so much fun to make and so easy. I love to make them during the holidays and especially for our cookie swap, but they[ are great any time. I guess you could add the chocolate chips and butterscotch into the cookies, but I like the sweetness it adds as a glaze.] Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy |
6 cups puffed rice cereal (recommended: rice krispies) |
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted |
1 cup butterscotch chips, melted |
Directions:
1. For the cookies:
2. In a medium saucepan, bring the sugar and corn syrup to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Remove from heat, stir in the peanut butter, and then fold in the puffed rice. Let cool until cool enough to touch. Spread waxed paper to cover a 2-foot long area. Press cookie batter, 1/2-inch thick, onto waxed paper. Cut cookies with cookie cutters, and then transfer to a cookie sheet.
3. For the glaze:
4. Melt chocolate and butterscotch separately in a double boiler over barely simmering water or in the microwave at 50 percent power.
5. In a medium bowl, combine melted chocolate and butterscotch. Using the back of a metal spoon, drizzle glaze over the cookies. Set aside until glaze sets, about 15 to 20 minutes.
