Chinese New Year Cookies
or Haystacks
Chocolatey, Delicious, and Crunchy
A Recipe for
The Ultimate Virtual Cookie & Goodies Party & Giveaway
#UltimateCookieParty
Today, I have another long-time family favorite recipe to share with you, Chinese New Year Cookies. If you thought the Mexican Wedding Cakes was an easy recipe, this one is even quicker and easier.
Before I get to the recipe, I want to share a picture of a special something I received from Luke…
November Roses aren’t they gorgeous? They smell heavenly! It’s a very nice perk of living in Southern California, and Luke having 20 roses bushes. These blooms put a big smile on my face. Luke is amazing, thanks, honey.
Now, onto our recipe for the day…
Chinese New Year Cookies
This recipe has only four ingredients: Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips, Butterscotch Chips, Chinese Noodles, and Peanuts (Spanish or Cocktail).
Melt chips, pour over noodles and peanuts, mix well, then drop by spoonful onto wax paper to set. Chill and store in an airtight container.

My family loves haystacks. I usually make them on Easter. I shape them like nests and place small chocolate eggs in them. I love all things chocolate. Yum, these look good! Maybe I need to make them now. 🙂
I’ve never made the cookies in any shape… nests would be adorable! 🙂
These are some of those goodies that you have trouble stopping eating! They are so good! I’ve never made them, I just eat other people’s 🙂 I’m still loving every minute of the #ultimatecookieparty There are so many wonderful new recipes to try!

Oooh, mini marshmallows, that sounds delicious! These cookies do freeze well, and they eat yummy straight from the freezer too! 🙂
I make my haystacks with shredded coconut so maybe I’m calling them the wrong thing? LOL These look really tasty, though! The roses are gorgeous, too.
I love the roses too… with coconut, that’s a great idea. 🙂
