2 cups Butterscotch Chips (11 0z bag)
1 can of Chow Mein Noodles (5 oz)
1/2 cup of Peanut Butter
Holiday Sprinkles

Steps:

  • Add parchment paper to a baking sheet
  • Melt down Baking Chips and Peanut Butter - Melt down your Butterscotch chips and peanut butter together in a microwave safe bowl and heated for 20 seconds at a time.
  • Pull out, stir, 20 seconds back in, until chips are completely melted. Be careful, the chips (and bowl) can get quite hot.
  • DO NOT OVERHEAT or you will end up with a hard mess.
  • This process takes only about 1-2 minutes or less in total.
  • Add your crunchy noodles and melted chocolate together in a bowl and stir until well combined. This mixture will be quite thick at this point.
  • Use a 1 tablespoon scoop (or 2 spoons) to carefully lift out the haystacks and add in little stacks on your parchment paper. We were able to get 20 cookies out of our mixture.
  • Sprinkles - While still not set, go ahead and add your sprinkles.
  • Freeze - Put pan in freezer to harden, will take 5-7 minutes and then you can transfer to a cookie tin or zip lock bag.
  • You can also put in fridge, but may take longer to harden.

KELLY FIELDS'S HAYSTACK COOKIES

I toasted the rolled oats called for in Ms. Fields's recipe, just to get a little more texture out of them. Make sure the mixture is hot when you drop the cookies or the texture will be too crumbly.
