Haystack Cookies
These no-bake Haystack Cookies are crunchy, sweet, and made with only four ingredients: peanut butter, butterscotch, chow mein noodles, and honey-roasted peanuts.
Servings: 22 cookies
Cost: $6.25
Equipment
- Sheet pan (15" x 10") with parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup butterscotch baking chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter like Skippy
- 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts
- 1 (5-ounce) container crispy chow mein noodles
- mini chocolate chips optional, for topping
- Flaky sea salt optional, for topping
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butterscotch chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth (about 40 seconds total). Be careful not to overheat. Melting is happening even outside of the microwave!
- In a large bowl, add peanuts and chow mein noodles. Pour the melted butterscotch mixture over them and gently fold with a spatula until well coated.
- Use a spoon to drop the mixture onto a parchment-lined sheet pan, forming 2–2.5-inch mounds. Top with mini chocolate chips or a pinch of flaky sea salt, if you like.
- Let the cookies cool completely until the butterscotch hardens, either at room temperature or in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes
Storage: Store the cookies in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week to keep them fresh. For longer storage, freeze them in layers separated by parchment paper, and they’ll stay good for up to 3 months.
