Colleen this is the closest I could find right now. Perhaps you could leave out the chips and nuts if you don't remember them. Hope it helps. I will keep looking.

This is from a newspaper website where someone was looking for a recipe for cookies like the ones her mother made many years ago using cornflakes, peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk.

She remembered that the cookies were "sticky, very tasty and somewhat chewy," but neither she nor her mother could remember exactly how to make them.

The person that supplied the recipe says her kids like them even better made with Rice Krispies in place of the cornflakes.
