Butterscotch Spider Cookies

This is hands-down my favorite cookie of all time. I remember having them as a kid and taking forever to eat them because I liked to bite down the chow mein noodles on every cookie! We make them at Christmastime in our family, and I'm pretty sure this recipe is always on the back of the bag of chow meins! Some people like them with chocolate or half-chocolate-half-butterscotch, but I'm a butterscotch girl all the way on this one. You can substitute white chocolate and any kind of nuts you like...it's easy to be creative. So super easy and a great one to make if you have little kids in the kitchen who like to help out!

Spider cookies

12 oz. butterscotch bits
2 c. chow mein noodles
1 c. dry roasted peanuts

Melt bits in microwave. Add chow mein noodles and peanuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Will keep in refrigerator a few weeks, or can freeze.
