Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 5 ounces chow mein noodles

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chips: Place the milk chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Heat and Stir: Microwave the chips in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each increment until the chips are mostly melted.
  3. Smooth the Mixture: Stop heating once mostly melted and continue stirring until the chocolate and butterscotch mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Combine with Noodles: Gently stir in the chow mein noodles until all noodles are evenly coated with the melted chocolate mixture, forming the haystack base.
  5. Form Haystacks: Using two spoons, scoop small piles of the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper, shaping each into a small haystack-like cluster.
  6. Set and Serve: Allow the haystack cookies to cool and solidify at room temperature before serving to ensure they hold their shape.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of cookies.
  • Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; melt chips slowly to avoid burning.
  • For variation, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruit into the mixture before setting.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
