How To Make special-k cookies
-
Step 1Make sure your kitchen table is cleared off. Pull and cut a long strip, or 2, of wax paper, and lay it out on table.
-
Step 2Use a double-boiler type system where you have 2 deep pots of equal size, so you can stack one on top of the other. Fill bottom pot half-full of water, and bring to a medium boil (you will probably need to adjust temperature according to type of stove used). Stack empty pot on top of it.
-
Step 3Put the peanut butter, margerine, and marshmallow cream into top pot.
-
Step 4As soon as the ingredients start to melt, start stirring them together until they are well blended, smooth and creamy.
-
Step 5Gradually stir in flour until well blended.
-
Step 6Add Karo Syrup, and vanilla until well blended.
-
Step 7Boil for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low/simmer.
-
Step 8Gradually add cereal until well blended. Turn off stove.
-
Step 9Carefully remove HOT water pot, and set in sink. Run cold water into HOT water until water is cool enough to pour out.
-
Step 10Quickly spoon cookie mixture onto wax paper in size of cookies desired. Let cool for 1 hour. Enjoy !
