Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Chow mein noodles
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 11 oz Butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Salted peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and milk chocolate chips.
Microwave the chips in 30-second increments, stirring well after each session, until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
Stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until well blended.
Add the chow mein noodles to the peanut butter mixture and gently toss until all noodles are evenly coated. If using salted peanuts, fold them in at this stage.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly apart.
Allow the cookies to cool and set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour. If you want to speed up the process, refrigerate the baking sheets for 20-30 minutes.
Once the cookies are firm, transfer them to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
