"The Asians" and the Chinese New Year Chocolate Cookies


*** Disclaimer: Anyone reading this blog who needs to understand that it is in no way racist! “The Asians” mentioned in this blog were a self-titled group of friends from Utah and not some name I came up with. Having said that…..

“The Asians” were well Asian, at least in one way or another. Most of their “Asianess” was obvious, while one (Taben) was not so much. Taben served his mission in Thailand and therefore was admitted membership into the exclusive group. This group was self-governed and depending on offenses committed, members’ level of “Asianess” could be decreased or even terminated, although they were always able to earn it back. Anyway, enough about the group and now let’s move onto its members. Dennis is a great friend who you could always count on for anything. He was a pretty good date too haha! Dwain is one of the sweetest guys ever and would bend over backwards for anyone. Spencer is hilarious and incredibly sweet. Although if you let him get to second base he makes really weird faces. And last but certainly not least, there’s Taben. Taben is an amazing friend who could always make me laugh and sometimes made me cry bbbbbbbwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! As a side note there was at least one other member of the group but she is more so a member of another group that will be mentioned in another blog. Anyway, I love these guys tons and miss them all the time. Enjoy these most appropriately named cookies……


Chinese New Year Chocolate Cookies
By: SAMMEIY
"An easy recipe to make!"
Original Recipe Yield 2 dozen


Ingredients
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups butterscotch chips
• 2 1/2 cups dry-roasted peanuts
• 4 cups chow mein noodles


Directions
1. Butter a 9x13 inch dish.
2. Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Remove from heat and stir in peanuts. Stir in noodles until all is well coated. Press into prepared dish. Chill until set; cut into squares.


*** Here are my changes:
1. As noted by another baker it would be hard to cut this into squares as they tend to fall apart so I instead scooped them into heaping tablespoon sized piles.
2. I also doubled the recipe so that my boys would have enough  and it did come out to be exactly 4 dozen cookies.
