CHINESE NOODLE BASKETS
Noodle baskets can be stored in the refrigerator if securely wrapped for up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 weeks. To reheat, remove plastic wrap, place on cookie sheet and bake in preheated 325 degree F. oven for about 8 minutes. Please note that times are estimates. I haven't tried this but it looked interesting.

KRISTY'S ANCIENT CHINESE NOODLE COOKIES
These cookies are great because you don't have to bake them. I use raisins in this recipe, but you could use cranberries or any type of dried fruit, or none at all if you prefer. You could also use melted chocolate to drizzle on top to finish off these cookies.
