Haystack Cookies
Description
Haystack Cookies combine melted white chocolate candy coating and butterscotch chips heated gently until smooth. Creamy peanut butter is folded into this mixture along with crunchy chow mein noodles, which provide a crispy texture contrast. Spoonfuls are dropped onto parchment to cool and harden into clusters, making the cookie preparation quick and simple without baking.
The cookies feature a balance of sweetness from white chocolate and butterscotch, richness from peanut butter, and an airy crunch from the chow mein noodles. The texture contrast is key to the appeal, as the candy coating binds the crispy noodles into bite-sized mounds.
Optional mix-ins such as mini chocolate chips, marshmallows, or nuts can be added to vary texture or flavor, but the recipe notes to reduce chow mein noodles slightly to maintain an even coating. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about two weeks or frozen for up to three weeks, though freezing affects crispness.
Ingredients
- 10 ounces white chocolate candy coating
- 11 ounces butterscotch chips 1 bag
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 12 - 15 ounces Chow Mein noodles
Instructions
- Add white candy coating and butterscotch chips to a medium pot and cook on LOW heat. Stir constantly until all melted.
- Remove from heat and fold in peanut butter and chow mein noodles.
- Use a cookie scoop, scoop out onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, and let set until firm. Speed up the setting by placing them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
- Mix-ins like mini chocolate chips, mini M&M's, mini marshmallows, chopped pretzels, nuts, and toasted coconut flakes can be added, reducing chow mein noodles accordingly to ensure even coating.
- Store cooled and fully set cookies in an airtight container at room temperature; they remain good for up to two weeks.
- These cookies can be frozen for up to three weeks but may lose crispness; always thaw before serving.
