Chocolate Malt Cookies
I knew the second I saw Chocolate Malt Cookies that they would make the cookie baking day list. My mom is a huge fan of Whoppers (see Whoppers Cupcakes), so I thought she’d really enjoy them. Four kinds of chocolate are in this cookie. That’s right four!
So, how’s it taste?
It’s chocolatey-good, as you would expect from all that chocolate! I used chocolate malt powder, so the taste of malt was a little more subtle than I would have liked. The cookies aren’t rich, even with all that chocolate, and they are slightly crisp on the outside and stay chewy on the inside. I found these cookies on The Novice Chef blog and her recipe is adapted from the original. I’ll give her version a try next time I make these. She uses more malted milk powder and more syrup and reduces the flour. While I enjoyed the original version, the dough was a bit on the stiff side and I think they’d have a better texture with less flour. They were still fantastic cookies that need to be baked again…and soon!
