These Whopper Cookies are crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle and loaded with Whoppers. You will love the flavor the malted milk balls bring to these cookies.
I have a rating system for cookies and it doesn’t involve stars or thumbs up, it involves how many of the cookies I eat after baking. These Whopper Cookies are a five cookie recipe.
Malted milk balls are a fun alternative to chocolate chips. You get a hint of chocolate and I love the malted flavor it adds. The cookies are a nice thin, crispy edged cookie but chewy in the middle, which is my favorite type of cookie. The addition of oatmeal and malted milk balls help give the cookie it’s chewiness.

- All Purpose Flour
- Sugar, granulated sugar and brown sugar

Tips from leigh Anne
- If you prefer chewier cookies, you can decrease the baking time by a minute or two.
- I recommend using parchment paper when baking. It helps the cookies bake evenly, they never stick, and it makes clean up a breeze. You can even reuse the same sheet multiple times.

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.
Leigh Anne says
I am pretty sure it made about 3 dozen but I don’t remember exactly.
