From the Elk Forge Kitchen – Recipe for “Cookie Mmmms”
A favorite summertime cookie at the Inn (or any other time of year), served right from the fridge or freezer. Sometimes called Chinese Chews, Haystacks, or No-Bake Cookies; we just say “Mmmm”.
1 can toasted Chinese Noodles (as used with Chun-King products)
1 can or bottle of roasted peanuts (may be salted or unsalted-per your taste)
1 bag each of Chocolate Chips and Butterscotch Chips
Place noodles and nuts in large bowl. Melt Chips slowly in double boiler and pour over noodles and nuts in bowl. Gently toss to coat completely and place by rounded teaspoons-full on lined baking sheet. Place in freezer till firm, then store in container in freezer or fridge until ready to serve.
Variations: Try with dark chocolate only, milk chocolate and peanut butter chips, Macadamia nuts or Cashews, dried fruits and coconut….you can’t go wrong with chocolate as the binder! Although a surprising cookie ingredient, the Chinese Noodles add a wonderful light crunch and visual texture to the cookie, and serve to separate the stronger flavors for savoring. Mmmm…
