I like baking those cookie recipes from days gone by. Particularly if the ingredients are easy to come by and the recipe is simple to make. This is a no-bake recipe. I bought chow mein noodles a month or so ago, on a whim. I saw the price had not increased from previous years. It's good to have them on hand, just in case. Yes, just in case I decided to whip up a Chinese meal. They are the hard, crunchy noodle. In this instance, they were perfect to create a sweet treat to gift to friends at Christmas. Finally, Kevin and I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Ingredients

Dry roasted, salted peanuts, half a 16 ounce jar

Chow mein noodles, 1 package, 12 ounces

Vanilla candy coating, 12 ounces

Sprinkles, 2 tbsp

Parchment paper to line two large baking sheets

Preparation

Line two large baking or cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl add and mix the peanuts and noodles. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the candy coating, according to the package instructions. In this instance, 90 seconds. Stir and smooth out any soft lumps. Pour the melted candy coating into the bowl of peanuts and noodles. Slowly mix until the candy coats all the peanuts and noodles. Use an ice cream scoop, to measure each cookie. Use your fingers to shape each haystack. When both baking sheets are full, apply the sprinkles. The cookies will harden and should be ready in two hours.
