Malted Milk Chocolate Cookiesfence 


I made these cookies last year; the whole family loved them.  The hubby said they were pretty close to the Whopper's candy

    

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temp

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 egg yolk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2/3 cup plain malted milk powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 6 oz milk chocolate, coarsely chopped

    

  • Preheat oven to 350°

  • Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy

  • Beat in egg yolk and vanilla, then beat in malted milk powder and salt

  • Stir flour into butter mixture to make stiff dough

  • Pinch off pieces of dough and make into 1 inch balls

  • Place on ungreased cookie sheet

  • Bake in center of oven for 12-15 minutes, until cookies are set and golden on the bottom

  • Remove to wire rack to cool

  • When cookies are cool, place chopped chocolate in microwave-proof bowl, or in top of double boiler

  • Melt in microwave on 80% power, stirring until melted and smooth

  • Dip the top of each cookie in melted chocolate, completely coating the top of cookie.  Or, spread over each cookie with the back of a teaspoon

  • Place on wire racks until chocolate is set


Tips

- Store in single layers on plates, wrapped.  Keep cookies cool
- Freeze, before dipping
- Mail--yes for plain cookies, no for dipped cookies
