Chow Mein Noodle Cookie

Always a big hit!! Use this basic recipe for various combinations, such as chocolate/peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips with craisins.

It just looks awful. I couldn’t get past that.

Fantastic recipe. I make this every year for my friends cookie swap. With 3 kids and a busy life you can easily make 6 dozen in 30 minutes or less. There are no duplicates at my swap so most likely you’ll be the only baker of these delicious cookies

Gosh I remember this recipe as a kid, but like Renee35 We used half creamy peanut butter and half butterscotch chips. Being allergic to peanuts right now, I will substitute it with Soy Nut Butter instead. Thanks for posting!

So easy, so good.

I’ve made this recipe for years. A couple of changes though; I use half butterscotch and half semi sweet chocolate to reduce the sweetness and I prefer cashews over peanuts. Some people add or substitute raisins for nuts.

Yummy andso quick to make!

Delicious and something non traditional

I got this from my bosses wife…and absolutely love it. But, she made hers with out peanuts and it still taste the same. Also, microwaving the chips works just as well. Then it is popped in the frig and whalla

I have been making this recipe for years and it is always a hit wherever I take it. As other writers mentioned, I use both chocolate chips and butterscotch chips along with the noodles and peanuts. It is easy, quick and awesome!!

I make Halloween spiders with this recipe, melt chocolate chips in microwave with a tablespoon of butter or oil, mix in noodles, pick up small amounts with kitchen tongs, and add a red cinnamon red hot for spider.

awesome cookies loved by everyone who tries them

My wife happened to find this recipe in her Mother’s 3×5 card collection from way back (card has yellowed with age). Awesome, easy to make and we sure made more than the 36 listed.

Make these every year during the holidays. They are the hubby’s favorite. Perfect combo of salty and sweet!

Great cookie. Super sweet but super easy. I also like to add a cup of mini marshmallows. As a child, my Grandmother would make these but she called them Haystacks.

I loved this cookie when growing up but we made ‘Haystacks’ with 1 cup of creamy peanut butter mixed into 2 cups of melted butterscotch chips. Then we used a combo of chow mein noodles and mini marshmallows mixed in and dropped on a cookie sheet. Chill for an hour and enjoy!

This is a great cookie recipe, a Christmas favorite at our house. I use equal amounts of chocolate chips & butterscotch chips. For those who have difficulty melting & mixing, melt chocolate over a double boiler on medium hear and avoid getting any water near the chocolate – even one drop of moisture will “seize your chocolate” and cause problems. adding a large tablespoon of peanut butter to melting chocolate will ease the chocolate and make adding the broken noodles and peanuts easy. it took me many attempts to identify the problems with the chocolate.

my mother used to make these all the time, we call them “spider cookies” they’re awesome for the kids to bring 2 school. very tasty!

I made these today, my mother used to make these when we were younger, I have not had these in 20 years and they turned out fabulous.

These are awesome. I did have to add about 2-3TB of shortening (I used butter flavored) to the chips as I was melting them.

these are yummy, but anyone saying they are easy must be doing it better than me i found these incredibly difficult—they stuck to everything (i’m going to have to take a jackhammer to my stovetop), clung to my fingers as i tried to push them off the spoon, and as soon as i mixed the peanuts and noodles into the melted butterscotch chips it all seized up into this hard lump! so i turned the heat up to melt them again and scorched the bottom of the lump…maybe i’m just not cut out to be a baker…did i mention that i burnt my fingers in the melted butterscotch?
