All stacked up

The quickest and easiest baking recipes don’t require any baking at all. Enter haystack cookies. No bending down into the oven, no last-minute trips to get eggs… Just melt, stir and drop. At their simplest, haystacks are simply chocolate and chow mein noodles—the boiled, fried and ready-to-eat variety traditionally used as a savoury garnish. But for an amped up five-ingredient version, try our salty, sweet and crunchy Chocolate & Peanut Butter Haystack Cookies (recipe on page 217).
