Christmas no bake peanut butter corn flake cookies

If you’re looking for a last-minute Christmas cookie idea then you’ve come to the right place.

These are absolutely delicious (if you like peanut butter) and so simple to make!

This recipe is one of my grandmother’s (Mimi) recipes and I’ve probably made them for at least 15 years in a row.

Ingredients Needed for These Peanut Butter Corn Flake Cookies

Corn flakes
Peanut butter chips
Red and green M&Ms (optional)

And that’s it!

So, my friends and I have carried on our tradition of a cookie exchange for about five years now and this year it almost didn’t happen.

We decided instead of our traditional play date cookie exchange that we would have a moms-only dinner night out and exchange cookies then.

However, mother nature had her own plans. We had a horrible snowstorm with over eight inches of snow that fell the evening of our cookie exchange.

Thankfully our schedules aligned again and we got together last night.

It’s always a blast to get together with this group of friends since we have been friends since our oldest children were born.

And now my youngest baby (who’s already 4 years old!) is loving helping momma out with cookie making.

For our cookie exchange, I asked my friends if they wanted me to branch out and make something different since I always make these Chinese New Year Cookies. But the answer was a definite no.

So I ended up making two dozen of those for the cookie exchange but also added a few of these peanut butter cornflake cookies to the bunch for some variety. They definitely were not disappointed with the addition 🙂

Dietitian’s Dish

It’s the time of year when we are inundated with sweets, holiday parties, crazy busy schedules and more. The amount of food surrounding the holidays is quite a bit and can be stressful for those trying to watch what they eat and stay healthy.

This time of year can be especially stressful for individuals who are struggling with body image issues or relationships with food.

If you deal with any of these issues, make it known to your family and friends that you do not want to hear about the current diet they are on, what their best friend’s miracle “nutrition” plan is, or what they think YOU should do.

Nothing is more important than your mental health, so this is just a friendly reminder to speak up for yourself.

Tips on How to Eat Mindfully This Holiday Season

Sit down while eating and focus on eating slowly.
Avoid distractions like the TV or your phone.
Notice the smells and textures of the food you’re enjoying.
Place your portion on a plate and avoid eating out of a box or bag.

With that said, remember that one meal or one day does not and will not ruin your effort over the past several days/weeks/months.

Happy holidays and hope you enjoy these cookies as much as we do!
