So I have a rating system for cookies. It doesn’t involve stars or thumbs up – it involves cookies. Or more specifically how many of the cookies did I eat!
Some cookies are just One Cookie recipes, meaning I ate one and was satisfied, I got a taste and that was enough.
But some cookie recipes are Five Cookie recipes and today’s recipe is one of them! I think I ate at least five. So much for portion control!!
I needed to make cookies to take to some of the ladies from church who are celebrating birthdays this month so it was the perfect excuse to give this recipe a try. I found it over at Sprinkled with Flour – a pretty and delicious new blog I recently discovered.
The malted milk balls are a fun alternative to chocolate chips. The cookies are a nice thin, crispy edged but chewy in the middle type of cookie. The best kind.
So, don’t say I didn’t warn you! A Five Cookie recipe! I can’t be held for responsible for all the extra calories you may be consuming. I better add a few more days onto that 30 Day Shred!
Malted Milk Ball Chewies
3/4 C butter, softenend
3/4 C brown sugar, packed
3/4 C granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 vanilla extract
2 C flour
1 C quick cooking oats
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 C malted milk balls, coarsely chopped
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In your mixer, combine the butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix. In another bowl combine your dry ingredients – flour, oats, baking soda and salt. Add into the butter mixture and combine well. Add in malted milk balls. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 8-12 minutes, depending on the level of crispness you would like. Cool for a few minutes and then move to a wire rack.

After reading this post the other day I can’t stop thinking about these cookies so I thought I would make them on Friday but I noticed both your recipe and the original do not have a yield on them. Do you remember how many they made? I want to bring them to two people with dinners I am bringing over and I want to know if I need to double the recipe. Thank you for your help.
I am pretty sure it made about 3 dozen but I don’t remember exactly.
Thanks that at least gives me a starting point.
