No Bake Chow Mein Noodle Cookies

"This is a quick and simple no-bake cookie that I used often as my kids were growing up - too many times I would realize that I was expected to bring cookies to a school progam in a couple hours and had nothing prepared. There were never any left to bring home so I can tell you from experience that it is easily doubled and that tripled, I used exactly one 12 oz package of chow mein noodles! There are other chow mein noodle cookies on here but all that I found called for chips, this one does not."

directions

  • Bring sugar and syrup to a full boil in a heavy pan. Remove from heat at once. (Over cooking will make a hard cookie.)
  • Add peanut butter and noodles. Mix thoroughly.
  • Drop into rounded mounds onto waxed paper.
  • Let set for at least 15 minutes.
  • NOTE: I usually add more noodles for a crunchier cookie. I add a half cup or so at a time, stirring them in to make sure they will still stick together before deciding whether to add more or to stop.
  • PREP time includes cooling.

  1. Oh my gosh!!! I used to make this recipe as a kid and was crushed when mom lost it. Can't believe that I found it on the net!
     
  2. I had these somewhere as a child and I have never been able to find the recipe. I made them and Wow! Exactly like I remembered them!
     
  3. Very good one for taking to your childs school. I used more noodle and I used crunchy peanut butter. Next classroom event I got my cookie!
     
  4. These were OK.They left much to be desired.Very pretty to look at though.
     
  5. I tried one of these even though I don't really like peanut butter cookies. I like these! I decided to try them because they didn't contain any choc. chips, I found a winner. Thanx for making me a peanut butter cookie fan after all these years. Needless to say I went back and ate more than one.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Mother of three young adult children. Work parttime in the insurance world. Number one pasttime would be taking and editing pictures (need any edited, let me know!), followed by traveling, reading, and gardening. Love to take all kinds of pictures but my best are either portraits or close ups of flowers and other nature shots. My poor kids have had to be patient with Mom and her camera ("hold that pose") and my neighbors have probably considered having me committed after watching me practically standing on my head trying to get that perfect shot in my flower beds. Thanks to my kids' musical talents, I have been able to chaperon trips to England, Scotland, Hong Kong and mainland China. More of my vacations in recent years have been to Canada than to my own country. Was I Canadian in a past life??? Hoping to live on the west coast of Canada, at least part time, someday soon! <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza">
