I used to make these all time. Be sure to use quality ingredients-I used off brands one year and they were not good.

Re: chow mein cookies

These were one of my all time favorite cookies. You need to use the thin kind of noodles like you get from the chinese restaurant, not those fat porus ones you often see in the grocery.

CHOW MEIN NOODLE GOODIES

1 pkg. chocolate chips
1 pkg. butterscotch chips
1 lg. pkg. chow mein noodles

Melt chips. Stir in chow mein noodles until coated with the chocolate mixture. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and let set.
