Mini Ice Cream Sandwich

Scrape out the white inside filling from Oreo type cookies. You can discard the filling or give it to the kids or eat it yourself. Carefully spoon slightly softened ice cream onto the bottom cookie and gently press the other cookie on top. With a clean finger or a spoon, smooth the sides as needed. Wrap each cookie individually in a piece of plastic wrap. For a softer cookie, leave in the freezer for a few days.

One Charming Party

HAYSTACK COOKIES

12-oz. package of butterscotch chips
12 oz. Jar of peanut butter
9 oz. can of chow mein noodles
waxed paper

Melt the butterscotch chips in a saucepan over medium heat. When the chips have melted, add the peanut butter and remove from the heat. Stir well. Pour in the chow mein noodles. Mix thoroughly. Drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. These will form "haystacks". Let the haystacks harden for about one hour.

(Makes 3 to 4 dozen haystacks.)
