Prairie Recipes for Your House

If the coconut makes these cookies a little too dressy and prissy, even for Nellie, then try this more basic recipe for Nellie Oleson's Prairie Haystacks: Microwave 1 cup butterscotch chips and 1/2 cup peanut butter on 50 percent power for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring once. Add 1/2 cup peanuts and 2 cups chow mein noodles and stir until the noodles are coated. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper.
