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.

HOLIDAY HAYSTACKS

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of water in a pot to a simmer. Add the semisweet and milk chocolate to a bowl and place over the pot of simmering water. Allow to melt, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the noodles, almonds and pistachios to a large bowl and set aside.
• When the chocolate has melted completely, pour over the noodle and nut mixture. Mix until everything is well coated in the melted chocolate.
• Using 2 spoons, drop tablespoon mounds onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle the holiday sprinkles over the top. Allow to dry completely before storing, about 1 hour.
