It's Finals Week for Mommy!

I have finals this week, so posts my be a little late and slightly crazy this week.

Today's recipe is one of my favorite no-bake cookie recipes.  I decided to shake things up a bit and throw in a dessert instead of an actual meal today.  This recipe is super easy to make, but it can be a little messy. 

Best Ever No-Bake Cookies

1 package chocolate chips
1/2 c peanut butter (you can leave this out if you are allergic or don't like it, you can also add more if you really like it)
2 sticks butter
1 12oz package of crunchy chow mein noodles (la choy makes some great noodles, make sure to get the crunchy ones in the bag)
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
wax paper or parchment paper

In a large pot or dutch oven, melt the 2 sticks of butter over med-low heat.
Add package of chocolate chips and melt, stirring occasionally.
Add the peanut butter, melt, and stir.
Add both sugars.  Allow sugar to melt/dissolve into chocolate mixture.  Make sure you stir frequently to keep sugar from burning.  (This may take a few minutes.) Remove from heat.
Stir in crunchy chow mein noodles.

Lay out a couple sheets of parchment or wax paper on counter top or table.
Use a spoon to drop a spoonful of of cookie dough on paper.  Continue until dough is all layed out.
Cookies will usually set in about 2 hours.

To freeze-  You can freeze these cookies after they set and hardened.  The best ways to freeze them are either in a container using wax or parchment paper to separate the cookies if you layer them, or you can freeze in a few gallon size freezer bags, but be sure to only put a few cookies in the bag and do not layer them.  Just pull the container or bag out a few hours before you need the cookies, an they'll be ready to go.
