This is a good name for these cookies, they are "addictive" and you start feeling "stupid" because you can't stop eating them! They are "GOOD - TASTY & DELICIOUS," no matter how hard you try ... one is never enough! PEANUT BUTTER NOTE: For people who are allergic to peanuts and peanut butter ... there are all kinds of alternatives to use, such as cashew butter, almond butter, and sunflower seed butter.

Who knew four ingredients could create such a magical treat. Corn chips sound like an usual ingredient, but it all works. They're sweet, salty, gooey, sticky, and crunchy. So good! They kind of taste like caramel peanut candy.

How To Make "stupid cookies"

Step 1

Empty into a "large bowl" the Fritos Corn Chips .... and slightly crush with your hands .... set aside.

Step 2

Bring sugar and syrup to a boil in a saucepan ... boil for "One Minute" only -- "no longer" or you will be sorry (you won't be able to bite into the cookies).
Step 3

Add peanut butter and mix together thoroughly.
Step 4

Pour the peanut butter-syrup mixture over the corn chips .... and mix all together.
Step 5

Work fast and drop by spoonfuls, the cookies onto a sheet of parchment paper. Note: I use a "Soup Spoon" to scoop-out the cookies onto the parchment paper, it makes a mounded-up cookie about 2 1/2 inches in size. After all the mounded-up cookies have been distributed onto the parchment paper ... take your fingers and give each cookie a little "squeeze" together, which will make sure any corn chips found sticking out "stay" with your cookie mound.
Step 6

That's it --- You're Done!
