HAYSTACKS
I have made these cookies for my family for about 30 years now. My son (who is now 36 years old) gets so excited when I make these; he always enjoys them with a tall glass of milk. I find that I have to be careful when melting the butterscotch because it seems to scorch easily, so take care - this is an essential ingredient! Also, these are best enjoyed in the winter because they seem to melt and not taste as great in the warmer weather.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process much smoother.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your haystacks will taste. If possible, use organic and locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't Overcook the Noodles: The noodles should be cooked al dente, meaning they should have a slight bite to them. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Use a Large Skillet: A large skillet will give you plenty of room to cook the noodles and vegetables without overcrowding them.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder if desired.
