Malted Chocolate Cookies with Mini Chocolate Eggs
Get ready to indulge in some homemade fudgy goodness with these chewy Malted Chocolate Cookies! These cookies are the perfect combination of fudgy chocolate and crunchy candy, making them an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup unsalted butter, slightly cold
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 teaspoons malted milk powder, vanilla or chocolate
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups Crushed Whoppers Mini Robin Eggs Malted Candy
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Using a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium high for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl. Add eggs and vanilla and mix on medium high again for 3 additional minutes. I promise, this is worth it! Scrape the sides of your bowl again.
- Place robin eggs in a large zip lock bag, use a rolling pin to crush them into smaller pieces but leave some larger chunks! Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, malt powder and salt. Stir together with a whisk. Add to your mixer in three separate batches on the lowest mixer speed until just combined,
- Add your semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and crushed robin eggs to the mixer. Mix on low until just combined. Do not over mix. I like to use a large wooden spoon and give a few hand mixes to ensure all the batter at the bottom is incorporated.
- Using a medium cookie scoop (approx 1 tbsp), scoop and roll dough and place cookie dough on your baking sheet approx 2 inches apart.
- Bake for approximately 9 minutes.
- Cookies will look barely done, but this is the key to keeping these soft and fudgy.
- Right when you remove from the oven, top each cookie with 1 whole robin egg candy and let cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a baking rack.
Notes
*NOTE: If cookies melt out to the side in certain areas because of the sugar of the malted mini eggs, use the back of a spoon to scoot them back into place or round biscuit cutter to circle around the cookie as soon as you pull them out of the oven.
