Scotcharoo Cookies

admin — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 19:34:06 +0000

These Scotcharoo Cookies are a modern upgrade to a nostalgic treat! The same crispy rice cereal coated with peanut butter and topped with the butterscotch / chocolate duo you dream about, just shaped like a cookie.

Scotcharoo Cookie Recipe

I love a good scotcharoo. The crispy rice cereal paired with a gooey syrup and peanut butter combo? Too good. The butterscotch and chocolate topping? Unreal. But the combination is the real killer. It’s something I legitimately dream about. But now instead of being served in a thick bar, they’re served in small, easy to eat cookies. Oh, and did I mention they’re a no-bake treat? Yep, you can be enjoying these guys in 15 minutes or less.

But if you’d still rather have the regular bar, here’s my favorite Scotcharoo Bar recipe.

Ingredients

*Find instructions and exact quantities in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

Granulated sugar
Corn syrup – This helps to bind and flavor the scotcharoo cookies. Don’t skip it.
Peanut butter – I used creamy peanut butter and loved the consistency. Chunky will work also, but you won’t have the same smooth sticky coating.
Vanilla – This Pure Vanilla is a key ingredient. It helps accentuate the flavors here so nicely.
Rice krispie cereal – Use any brand you’d like, the store off-brand of crisp rice cereal will work great.
Milk chocolate chips – I recommend using milk chocolate, but I know a lot of people make this with semisweet or dark chocolate and love it. Take your pick!
Butterscotch chips – This is truly the star of the show!!

How to Make Scotcharoos into Cookies

In a medium saucepan, melt together the sugar and corn syrup until it just begins to boil.
Once it starts boiling, remove from heat.
Add in the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until combined.
Pour over Rice Krispies and stir to coat evenly.
Use a cookie scoop to divide the mixture into 3 Tbsp portions. Allow the ‘cookies’ to set for 5-10 minutes before flattening slightly with a damp hand.
Melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth.
Once completely melted, spoon the chocolate mixture onto each cookie and spread evenly.
Allow the chocolate to set and enjoy!

Scotcheroo Cookie Storage

Once the chocolate has completely set up, store these cookies in an airtight container. You can store them on the counter or in the fridge, depending on how you like to enjoy them. I like to eat mine a little bit chilled!

Can you freeze Scotcharoo Cookies?

You certainly can – these freeze great! Let them set up completely and then store in a ziptop bag or airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow them to thaw slightly before enjoying!

Karli’s Kitchen Faves

Here are a few of my favorite kitchen tools that I used to make this recipe!

Silicone baking mat – I love using this or parchment paper to line my cookie sheets to make it easy-peasy to get cookies off of the pan without sticking.
Cookie scoop set – These are sturdy and won’t break when it, you know, scoops dough. I love these for making pretty + even cookies.
Spatula – I love these silicone spatulas for mixing because everything won’t stick as drastically.
Bowl – I love how giant these are! They’re perfect for mixing up the rice krispies.

With heat-treated flour and no eggs, my edible chocolate chip cookie dough recipe is safe to eat and good enough to fool you into thinking it’s real!

Edible Cookie Dough Recipe

Growing up I was not allowed to eat regular, raw cookie dough. This is an important note because it means I have spent the better part of 2 decades creating the very best edible chocolate chip cookie dough! Featured in my new cookbook, Cookies for Days, this cookie dough recipe tastes just like the real deal. The texture of the cookie dough is spot on and the flavor is dreamy. But because you omit the egg and quickly heat-treat the flour in the microwave, it is 100% safe to eat.

Ingredients in Safe-to-Eat Cookie Dough

If you have the ingredients to make your favorite cookies, you have what you need to make edible chocolate chip cookie dough!

All-purpose flour – You’ll do a basic heat-treat to this flour in the microwave to make it safe to consume without baking.
Salted butter, room temperature – I always use salted butter, but you could also use unsalted butter (just add an extra pinch of salt to the dough).
Granulated sugar
Brown sugar
Milk
Vanilla Extract
Salt
Mini chocolate chips – I tested mini and regular chocolate chips in this recipe and the mini was hands-down the favorite. You can of course use the bigger chips if that’s your preference!

How to make Cookie Dough Edible

Start by heat-treating your flour. Measure out the flour into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the flour for 30 seconds and then stir. Heat again for 30 more seconds.
Stir and then spread the heated flour onto a cookie sheet and set aside to allow it to cool down.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture.
Mix in the milk and vanilla until evenly distributed.
Add the flour and salt to the bowl and mix until a cookie dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and enjoy!
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Cookie Dough Substitutions

You can sub a gluten-free 1:1 flour in this recipe to easily make it GF! Since this recipe does not contain eggs, you only have to swap the butter for dairy free and use almond milk to make this recipe Vegan.

Cookie Dough Tips

You’ll want to cream the butter and sugars like you would normal cookie dough. This will make sure your eggless / heat-treated cookie dough has the same delicious, craveable texture and taste as the hard stuff.

How to store Eggless Cookie Dough

Your eggless chocolate chip cookie dough will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

If you’d like to freeze your chocolate chip cookie dough, place it in a labeled freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

Temperatures are rising and the kids are out of school! Summer is finally here and it’s time to get baking. Whether you need a dessert for a family bbq or just want an activity to do with your kids, here is a list of my favorite summer cookies.

Lemon Sugar Cookies

Don’t these just sound like a summer cookie? Lemon Sugar Cookies are perfectly chewy sugar cookies with just the right amount of sweet lemon flavor. No extra frosting or other frills, just the perfect hint of lemon that elevates a regular sugar cookie.

Toffee Doodle Cookies

Is it bad to admit I added these to the list just because I love them so much? Well, I do. Toffee Doodle Cookies are like your favorite cookie rolled in a sugar-cinnamon mixture, and stuffed with crunchy toffee bits. Yum-o.

Salted Caramel Sugar Cookies

Serve these soft and flavorful sugar cookies topped with caramel buttercream, caramel drizzle and a sprinkle of Sea Salt cold. Boom. Your new favorite refreshing summer treat.

S’mores Cookies

I feel like I don’t even need to explain why these made the summer list. Hello, s’mores ARE summer. With a caramelized graham cracker base, mini marshmallows + chocolate chips stuffed inside and then a square of Hershey’s chocolate topping it off, these s’mores cookies are easier to eat and serve than the real thing. And honestly? They even taste better.

White Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know these don’t have macadamia nuts (you could add them), but these always make me think of a tropical vacation. Which is why they are perfect for summer in my opinion. A cookie lover classic leveled up.

Bakery Style Lemon Cookies

Lemon bars remind me of bake sales and baby showers, which can pretty much sum up my summer agenda. These cookies have all the fresh flavors of a lemon bar with sweet lemony flavor, white chocolate chips and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Lofthouse Cookies

I am pretty sure Lofthouse cookies made an appearance at every single barbeque I attended growing up. In honor of that (and the fact that they are DELICIOUS), they’ve made my “must make” list for summer. These Lofthouse cookies are sweet with a soft and fluffy texture then topped with that iconic creamy frosting and sprinkles. Literal perfection in every way.

Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies

If you’re looking for a way to use delicious fresh summer strawberries, look no further. Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies are a rich, fudge chocolate cookie with a cream cheese frosting topped with a fresh strawberry. An absolute pinnacle of summer decadence.

Orange Creamsicle Cookies

There is nothing more summery than a popsicle and this giant orange flavored sugar cookie stuffed with vanilla buttercream then topped with a white chocolate drizzle tastes exactly like those creamsicle popsicles that childhood dreams are made of.

Almond Joy Cookies

Almond Joy Cookies are packed with rich mini chocolate chips and shredded coconut, that are incredibly easy to make with only four simple ingredients, making them the perfect easy treat for a lazy summer afternoon.

Coconut Cream Pie Cookies

Coconut is always and forever a summer flavor in my opinion. That’s why this cookie with a light graham cracker base topped with a thick coconut buttercream frosting, whipped topping, and finally toasted coconut is a must on our summer baking list.

Peaches and Cream Cookies

These scream SUMMER. With a graham cracker cookie base, peach buttercream, whipped topping, and a fresh peach slice on top, these cookies are a delightful treat that will impress your guests at any summer gathering.

Lemon Blueberry Cookies

Hello, sunshine! These lemon blueberry cookies are the ultimate pick-me-up! The perfect marriage of citrus and blueberry, they are beautifully packed with the perfect summertime color and flavor.

All the flavors you love about cheesecake packed into delicious graham cracker cookie topped with cheesecake frosting and a dollop of blueberries. BRB I think I might start my summer baking with this one.

Rocky Road Cookies

Based on an American ice cream favorite, these fudgy chocolate cookies marbled with chocolate, marshmallows and almonds…OH MY, you are going to LOVE these cookies!

Avalanche Cookies

Okay, so the name doesn’t sound all that summery, but hear me out. These cookies are easyyyy no bake rice krispy cookies that are full of peanut butter and white chocolate flavor, filled with marshmallows, chopped milk chocolate, and topped with sea salt! Avalanche warning: these may be your summer go-to’s.

Key Lime Pie Cookies

Most pies feel like they belong in November. But not key lime pie – it is a summer flavor through and through. Which is why I think my key lime pie cookies deserve a place on your picnic table this year. Delicious graham cracker cookies, topped with a sweet and tart key lime topping, these Crumbl Copycats contain all the goodness of key lime pie in cookie form.

Crumbl Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

Nothing makes me happier than standing at a raspberry bush and eating to my heart’s content. So this summer we’re paying tribute to my favorite fruit with a super soft, crumbl copycat with a thick graham cracker cookie base, smooth, creamy cheesecake frosting and of course a raspberry drizzle.

Salted Caramel Toffee Cookies

Sweet + salty, these are a summertime must. Full of delicious white chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, and crunchy toffee bits you’re going to wish you doubled the batch.

Avalanche Cookies are no bake rice krispy cookies! These delicious treats are full of peanut butter and white chocolate flavor and filled with marshmallows, chopped milk chocolate, and topped with sea salt!

Jump to Recipe

Avalanche Cookies Recipe

I love a good no-bake cookie and these are one of my favorites! This cookie is definitely an upgraded version of a cornflake-type cookie. The different types of chocolate pair perfectly together in this recipe. And it’s honestly hard to go wrong with a cookie that includes peanut butter.

Ingredients for Avalanche Cookies

White Chocolate Chips – I always use white chocolate chips because I prefer the flavor. But, you can also use white chocolate melting bark if you’d rather.
Creamy Peanut Butter – I prefer creamy peanut butter, but feel free to use crunchy if you like that more.
Rice Krispies – Any plain crispy rice cereal will do!
Mini Marshmallows
Chopped Chocolate – You can use a chopped chocolate bar or mini chocolate chips. If you plan to mix the chocolate into the cookie (instead of pressing on top like suggested in the recipe), make sure to freeze the chocolate beforehand. Otherwise, it will melt when mixed into the warm white chocolate & peanut butter mixture.
Sea Salt – This is to sprinkle on top of the cookies at the end.

How to make No Bake, Rice Crispy Cookies

In a large bowl, measure out the Rice Krispies and mini marshmallows, then set aside.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, measure out the white chocolate chips and peanut butter.
Microwave the white chocolate and peanut butter for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue to repeat until the mixture is smooth.
Next, pour the warm mixture over the cereal and marshmallows. Stir to coat completely.
Scoop and portion out the mixture into your desired cookie sizes, then place on a piece of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to set.
Sprinkle your chopped chocolate or mini chocolate chips onto the cookies before they set so that they stick to the cookies.
Then, sprinkle flakey sea salt on top of each cookie.
Store your cookies at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
ENJOY!

Can you freeze Avalanche Cookies?

Yes! Avalanche Cookies actually freeze great. Just freeze the cookies in a single layer for about an hour. Then, once the cookies are frozen so they won’t stick to each other, you can toss them in a zip-top bag or an airtight container for up to 3 months.

What are Avalanche Cookies?

Avalanche Cookies are a no-bake, white chocolate & peanut butter cookie that is filled with crispy rice cereal, mini marshmallows, chocolate, and sea salt.

Cornflake Cookies are delicious no bake cookies! This cereal and peanut butter combo is the perfect mix of salty and sweet. Made with just a few simple ingredients, this easy dessert is sure to be one of your new family favorites!

Jump to Recipe

Cornflake Cookie Recipe

I have the biggest sweet tooth, but sometimes I’m just not in the mood to bake treats. Enter no bake recipes! No bake desserts, like cornflake cookies, are easy recipes that just require mixing a few ingredients and letting the cookies set-up.

I love that this easy recipe makes a cookie that is both chewy and crunchy at the same time! And it’s made with peanut butter, so of course it is full of amazing flavor!

These are perfect for taking to a potluck or a BBQ- a true crowd pleaser! A cowboy burger with some fries then finishing off the meal with these? Sign me up.

Ingredients for Cornflake Cookies

‌Cornflake Cereal – This cookie recipe is for plain cornflakes, but it also works great with Rice Krispies, Rice Chex, or any other cereal you want to try.
Light Corn Syrup – Corn Syrup, like Karo Syrup, is a key ingredient in this recipe. Don’t try leaving it out or substituting because the cookies won’t turn out correctly.
Granulated Sugar – Nope, you won’t need any brown sugar in this recipe.
Peanut Butter – Depending on your preference, you can use crunchy, chunky peanut butter or creamy, smooth peanut butter.
Vanilla Extract – This is my favorite brand for baking.
Mini Marshmallows – The mini marshmallow will melt and keep the cookies soft for days!

How to Make Easy Cornflake Cookies

In a medium sauce pan, combine the light corn syrup and granulated sugar. Heat on the stove top over medium heat.
Make sure you are constantly stirring the syrup and sugar mixture until the edges just begin to bubble and boil. At that point, immediately remove from the heat.
Next, add in the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir to combine completely and make a golden syrup mixture.
Now add the marshmallows to the pan. Stir the mixture to completely the coat the marshmallows in the sauce, then let them sit while you complete the next step.
Measure out the cornflake cereal into a large bowl, then set aside.
Stir the marshmallow and creamy peanut butter mixture again, then pour over the cereal in the large bowl.
Stir to coat the crunchy cornflakes completely with the sauce.
Portion out the cornflake mixture into your desired cookie size and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Even though this isn’t traditional cookie dough, it’s easiest to use a cookie scoop to keep a uniform size.
Allow your chewy cornflake cookies to set up fully – this will only take a matter of minutes.
ENJOY!
Store your cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.

Can you freeze Cornflake Cookies?

Yes! Place your cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then freeze. Once frozen, you can transfer your cookies to a zip-top freezer bag or a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

How long does it take Cornflake Cookies to set?

This no bake cookie recipe sets fairly quickly in just about 10 minutes.
