Chinese New Year Cookies

This was one of the first recipes that I learned.. thank you Mom!  We made these for Christmas every year so when I made them this year, great memories of cooking with Mom in the kitchen came flooding back to me!  Sometimes these are called haystacks but they are Chinese New Year cookies to us!  They're easy with ingredients that you probably have on hand in your pantry and they are no bake!  That's a double bonus.  Since it's New Year's Eve, I made them today to welcome in the New Year!

Here's our recipe:

Ingredients:
1 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup peanuts
1 can Chow Mein noodles

Directions:
Melt the butterscotch chips and peanut butter in a double boiler over medium  heat.  Stir until smooth and stir in peanuts and chow mein noodles.

Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper.  Cool until set... and enjoy!

Variation:  you can make these with a combination of chocolate & butterscotch chips or just chocolate chips.
