My wife happened to find this recipe in her Mother's 3x5 card collection from way back (card has yellowed with age). Awesome, easy to make and we sure made more than the 36 listed.

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.

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

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. Enjoy!!!!!! By Elder Cook

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?
