COME TO THE DARK SIDE

WE HAVE COOKIES. . . .
It's a cold weekend. Cold, grey, the perfect time to get caught up on chores around the house. But what do you do if you might get a couple of storm troopers stopping by after the gun show? Well, I have my usual kid tested recipes, toll house, oatmeal (of which I just made a batch as well). But this recipe is one that frankly, adults love. Especially the men folk.

Home on the Deathstar Malted Milk Ball Cookies

You start with a bag of Mountain Man Fruit and Nut Company Malted Milk Balls, not only are they delicious, like all of their products, they are twice the size of most. The chocolate coating is real chocolate (and you can get them in dark chocolate as well) and it's THICK, so it gets all nice and melty as it cooks.

The batter is your basic "toll-house" style dough. Rich with sugar, egg and vanilla.

Throw in the chopped up malted milk balls.
It's a soft, tender cookie, slightly crispy around the edges from the butter. The malted milk balls? Well the center takes on a almost honeycomb like texture and the chocolate melts really well and stays soft after cooling. Yum.

The Storm Troopers won't leave a crumb.

For my new readers: If you click on the name of the recipe in the post you will be taken to the recipe. ALL of my recipes are in the year 2006. The blog wasn't even born yet then but I archived them in that year so they are in all one place.

Toni says, "I want some!"

The irony is that sugar is not allowed in our household. ::sigh::

I love malted milk balls. The cookies look good to.

Have to clean the slobber off my screen.

What a clever idea...using malted milk balls as an ingredient.
Gotta tell the gf about this!

OHHH COOKIES :-) Those DO look good, and of course are non-fattening.... I'd settle for a plain ol' chocolate chip right now, but no... EVERYTHING in Hawaii has @#& macadamia nuts in it...

I'm pretty sure I'd lick the plate, too.

Those look good. Then again my waistline is currently reflecting a few too many cookies recently.

MOBro said...

...and the goodness just keeps on coming! That sounds like a cookie a man could really love! So I'll just have to find out, eh?
Thanks.

Hat Trick said...

Oh so wonderfully tempting! Your description induces even more salivation than the pictures.

HermitJim said...

Man...that stuff looks good enough to eat...and eat a LOT of!

You do good work, that's for sure!

Brigid said...

I have to say folks, the cookies were even better day two. Yes there were some left. The bat phone didn't go off (I'm on call) and I enjoyed a couple of them this afternoon.

If you weren't so well armed I would already have kidnapped you and duct taped you to a stove.

"I have to say folks, the cookies were even better day two. "

Day two? There were actually cookies left for day two???

How many did you make?

Now we know why those Malted Milk beasts are an endangered species...Brigid has all their balls :D

MMB's one of my major weakness :P

As always, a great set of postings. I forwarded your blog on to my sister, she's a great cook and loves your blog, though she is definetly not of the same mind as we are on the 2nd Admendment. Nevertheless, she sent me to a great blog I think you would enjoy "Hunter Angler Gardener Cook" (www.honest-food.net). He writes about foraging and hunting and food! check it out!
