Description
Deliciously rich chocolate cookies with malted milk balls for a unique twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup malted milk powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup butter (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 6 oz chocolate-covered malted milk balls (Whoppers, coarsely chopped)
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, malted milk powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, (or in another bowl if using a hand mixer), beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3 minutes.
- Add in the eggs and beat until combined. Beat in the vanilla extract. (The mixture may look curdled at this point – don’t be alarmed, this is normal.)
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix to combine. Beat in the milk, then add the remaining dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. The batter will be looser and stickier than a normal cookie dough.
- Fold the chopped Whoppers and chocolate into the cookie dough. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Heat the oven to 350ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat liners.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough, about 2 tablespoons of dough each. Roll into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet, keeping cookies at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, until the cookies are puffed and set around the edges, but still soft to the touch. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring from the baking sheets to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for the best texture.
- Chilling the dough helps to prevent spreading during baking.
