Recipe Notes
How to Store Haystack Cookies:
You can definitely keep the Haystack Cookies in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for at least 1 week. They're definitely very hard when refrigerated;
however, so my family prefers to leave them in an airtight container at room temperature. Trust me...a batch doesn't last long!
Can Haystack Cookies be Frozen?
Yes! If you want to prep a batch of these cookies far in advance (hello, Christmas cookies!!!), you can place the cooled, hardened cookies in a Ziploc
bag and freeze them for at least 1-2 months.
Recipe Variations:
list of 4 items
• I make my Haystack Cookies with peanut butter, but you can replace the peanut butter with an equal amount of almond butter or other nut butter of choice.
• These Haystack Cookies have no coconut, but they do included chow mein noodles. If you'd like to add a touch of coconut, I suggest replacing some of
the chow mein noodles (not all of them) with a bit of shredded coconut instead.
• This recipe calls for both chocolate and butterscotch; however, you can make Chocolate Haystack Cookies by using 1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips and omitting
the butterscotch. Alternatively, you can make Butterscotch Haystack Cookies by using 1 1/4 cups of butterscotch chips (and no chocolate). Heck, you could
even sub out the butterscotch and the chocolate and replace them with white chocolate chips. Those would be snowy haystacks?!
• This recipe yields a small batch (about 12 haystacks). If you want to have more haystack cookies to enjoy, I suggest doubling or tripling the recipe.
