Welcome to my first recipe post! Luckily for y’all, if I keep doing these posts, I have 0 children so I won’t ever talk about sneaking veggies past their super sensitive palates. Also, Shane eats everything except sweets so I won’t have to talk about how picky of an eater he is.

On to the best, simplest Christmas cookies ever. No pictures, though, since my mom is making them this year & I refuse to go digging for pictures from last year.

Haystack Cookies

Stuff to gather:

• 3/4 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup of butterscotch chips
• 1-2 T creamy peanut butter
  • Or any other nut butter, or leave it out.
• 1 1/2 cups (more or less – you do you) of chow mein noodles.
  • You can use peanuts, but that’s an inferior situation 😉

Putting it together:

• Put everything except the noodles in a microwave safe bowl or in an improvised double boiler.
• Melt it all together (either microwave with lots of breaks or using the boil/bowl method).
• Mix it a bit.
• Throw those noodles in.
• Mix some more.
• Line a tray/baking sheet/countertop with wax paper
• Use your biggest spoon and scoop spoonfuls of the deliciousness until you’re out of mix.
• Throw your tray/baking sheet/slice of wax paper into the fridge for *at least* an hour.
• Eat too many & get a sugar headache.
• Store the few left in an airtight container on your counter.
  • Or get a loved one to hide them from you and dole them out as needed.

Note: Be careful, those noodles are super hard to bite through.

Enjoy!
