Are you a fan of chocolate malt balls? You know… those roly-poly little chocolate balls that are filled with malted milk powder? They’re rather addicting. They’re wonderful when added to chocolate cookies that have malt powder mixed in too. These Malted Milk Cookies are chocolate cookies that taste like chocolate malt balls!
How to make Malted Milk Cookies:
This is a typical cookie dough made with butter, white sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, eggs, vanilla and flour. Melted, unsweetened chocolate is mixed in to give it the chocolate flavor, and malted milk powder is mixed in to give it that malt flavor. Chopped chocolate malt balls are mixed in too and dotted on top of the blobs of dough before baking. The extras on top just make it look more like a “malted milk cookie” after baking because you’ll get a peek at the malt balls on top.
Where is “malted milk powder” located in the grocery store?
If you’re thinking your market doesn’t have malted milk powder, you’re probably mistaken! It’s sometimes located in the baking aisle. But more often than not it is located near the hot chocolate and coffee. Near the Ovaltine (remember that?!) Use the leftover malted milk powder to make ice cream malts or add to hot chocolate (or more cookies!)
About Malted Milk Balls:
This is not a sponsored post in any way, but I’m going to recommend that you use Whoppers brand malted milk balls for this recipe. Sure, you may be able to find generic type malt balls in the bulk section of your market (or at a natural foods store), but the Whoppers taste the best and will help make the best tasting Malted Milk Cookies. To store, place the cookies in an airtight container and cover. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days. Or freeze them for up to 3 months and take them out to eat a little at a time. Enjoy!
