Cowboy Haystacks Recipes

HAYSTACK COOKIES

Steps:

• Line 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper.
• In a microwave-safe bowl combine the semisweet chocolate chips and the butterscotch chips.
• Cook in the microwave, on high, for 45 seconds. Take the bowl out of the microwave and vigorously stir the chips. If needed, microwave at additional 15-second intervals, stirring (yes, vigorously!) between each interval, until the chips are smooth and melted.
• Add chow mein noodles and gently fold until they're evenly coated.
• Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet. Place in the fridge, 10-15 minutes, or until cookies are set.
