Many thanks for the recipes submitted. I am going to try the two that do not have peanut butter. Because I am not a lover of peanut butter, I know, for sure, that wasn't the original recipe. But thanks to all who replied.

Was it a candy type cookie where you add peanut butter? If so it may be similar to what is called cornflake cookies but was a candy type bar. You add peanut butter and sugar and butter. I think to boil to soft stage and add the dry cereals and mix then pour out on to wax paper. They use to serve it in school umpteen years ago.

I have a recipe called 'Dishpan cookies'. It calls for two cereals but you can add another, it makes a lot of cookies....
2 c brown sugar 2 c granulated sugar
2 c oil 2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
Beat the above together. Add:
2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt
4 c flour 2 c rice krispies
1 1/2 c oatmeal (cut the rice krispies to 1 cup and add 1 c corn flakes)
Mix together. Bake for 8 minutes at 325 degrees

I hope this helps, they do make wonderful cookies.
