BETTY'S "NEW ZEALAND" HOKEY POKEY COOKIES



Betty's

A rich buttery cookie that tastes like honey comb. I make these regularly for my children's lunch boxes. This recipe is egg free. Golden syrup is an ingredient used in English, Australian and New Zealand baking.

2 tablespoons golden syrup
2 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons bicarb soda

My grandmother, Betty, used to make me these no-bake cookies every Christmas. They're the perfect combination of salty and sweet and they couldn't be easier to make. They require no baking time-the hardest part is waiting for them to set so you can dig in!

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butterscotch chips
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
1 ½ teaspoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups dried chow mein noodles
½ cup peanuts, roasted, salted
⅓ cup thin pretzel sticks, roughly chopped
1 cup dark chocolate chip
1 tablespoon coconut oil

Steps:

  • Line a large baking dish with parchment or wax paper.
  • Add the butterscotch chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 60 seconds, or until the chips are melted, stirring halfway through. Whisk until completely smooth.
  • Add the chow mein noodles, peanuts, and pretzel sticks. Stir until evenly coated.
  • Use 2 spoons to drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator and allow to harden for at least 1 hour.
  • Make the chocolate coating, if using: Add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a medium bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 30-45 seconds, or until the chips are melted, stirring halfway through. Whisk until completely smooth.
  • Dip the bottom of each haystack in the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Return to the baking sheet, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes more, until the chocolate hardens.
  • Enjoy!
