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:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh butter, eggs, and vanilla extract will give your haystack cookies the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies should be golden brown around the edges and just set in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Haystack cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their simple ingredients and classic flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give haystack cookies a try!
