This week’s TWD was chosen by Rachel of Confessions of a Tangerine Tart: chocolate malted whopper drops. They’re chocolate cookies filled with chocolate chunks and chocolate covered malted milk balls. This turned out to be a really surprising TWD week for me. I am NOT a fan of chocolate cookies generally speaking. I like chocolate chip cookies and the like, but I usually find anything chocolate based too rich. So, needless to say, I kept my expectations low for these cookies.
When they came out of the oven and had cooled a bit, I brought Shane one to see what he thought. He loves anything chocolate so I thought he’d be a big fan but he was just lukewarm about these. As a result, my expectations were even lower but when I tried one, I was in love! My gosh, these are so delicious!!
I subbed peanut butter whoppers instead of chocolate so my cookies had a hint of peanut butter mixed in with the chocolate. I also subbed milk chocolate chips for bittersweet chocolate chunks and I’m sure that played a part in my enjoyment. These are definitely going to be a go-to cookie in my house and I can’t wait to make them again!
Thanks Rachel for choosing this recipe and helping me find a new cookie I love! Check out Rachel’s blog for the recipe and as always, head over to TWD to see all of the other cookies that were baked this week!

Glad you ended up enjoying them. I have to find those peanut butter whoppers….
Your pictures are amazing! Yum!
They look delicious! I bet the peanut butter whoppers would be great in these!
I’m glad you liked them, and PB whoppers sound delicious.
Wow, great cookie pics! These really show off the texture.
I loved these too. Glad they weren’t too rich for you.
YUM!! Your drops turned out beautiful! I could eat the pictures!! :O)
Those PB whoppers are awesome. I used them also. Your cookies look great – chock full of good stuff!

Sounds like you’ve found a new favorite. They look wonderful.
PB Whoppers are a great idea. Kudos to you. And thanks for making my pick! 😀
I made these yesterday and brought them to work today. They haven’t flown off the plate…and WH said they weren’t his favorite…but that said, he also pointed out that he’s had three today so he didn’t hate them. Mine didn’t look anywhere as pretty as yours did though…they totally spread and if there was a whopper on the outside, it totally carmelized.
