I now have a new favorite recipe that we've made at Tuesdays with Dorie. Chocolate Malted Whopper Drops. Yep. These babies are so delicious. Its like eating a brownie in cookie form.
I've always been a fan of whoppers though Milk Duds are my favorite movie theater candy. Putting either of them in a cookie had never crossed my mind. I'm so glad it crossed Dorie's! The whoppers slightly melted and made a chewy caramel like bits in the cookie. The chocolate cookie is like a chewy, fudgy brownie.
I was surprised by the addition of malted milk powder or Ovaltine as I used. It made the cookie so deliciously chocolate and since you know I'm not a big chocolate fan, that's saying a lot. Speaking of not being a chocolateoholic, I left out the extra chocolate chips. I felt that the cookie would be chocolately enough with the Ovaltine and the whoppers. Boy, am I glad I left them out. They are perfect without them! yum!
Unfortunately, two of these cookies had to be sacrificed to the quality control gods. I'm pleased to report that they found them completely delicious but I was forced to share them with the rest of my office. I can safely say they were very much enjoyed and voted a perfect breakfast treat. And I should know since I had 2.
This weeks recipe was chosen by Rachel of Confessions of a Tangerine Tart. You can also find a copy of the recipe there. Next weeks recipe is Chocolate Chunkers chosen by Claudia of Fool for Food.

22 Treats for Charlie:
Cute post! You have a way with words! Glad you loved the cookies!
As much as I love your new photo slideshow, I miss seeing Charlie with the pictures.
Wow - your cookies look sooooooo chocolatey!!
Great slide show! Your co-workers are very lucky. Glad to hear they work out without the extra chocolate chips too!
ohhh, milk duds. YUMMY to those too!
I had a couple ounces of 70% chocolate around, so I added that, but I'm also glad that I didn't add the full amount of chocolate called for. Great job!
Hehe, I love the quality control gods. Always the perfect excuse!
Oh, how I admire you for only eating two. I honestly lost track and then woke up and fought my kids so I could have one for breakfast. They are definitely in my top 5 TWDs. Where is Charlie? Did I miss him?
Too bad about the sacrificial cookies. It was all for the best, I'm sure. They turned out great!
I love Whoppers and have experimented with them in cakes and cookies. The best I have had so far is a Duncan Hines strawberry cake mix with strawberry whoppers ground up in the food processer blended into the batter and strawberry butter cream icing with strawberry Nesquick mixed in. I haven't experimented with the Reeses flavored Whoppers yet but I will let you know how things turn out. I am thinking of a layered peanut butter bar cookie for Halloween. Tonya
These really are a good breakfast cookie! Wonder how Milk Duds would have worked? Probably would destroy the baking sheet...
Colleagues of TWD'rs are such lucky people!
I'm glad you liked them- they look perfect and I love your little slideshow! Great job Heather! (But where's Charlie?)
Well, you have to know if what you're offering your colleagues is good, after all! They do look delicious! :)
I love the slideshow! These cookies were a huge hit in my house, glad you enjoyed them too!
very good of you to share them--they look great!
Hmmm, I wonder how Milk Duds would taste in these? Oh, the possibilites.
They look delish!
New fave! Awesome! They look delicious!
I really enjoyed the post. Perfect breakfast treat, indeed!
I loved these cookies as well. Yum!
they look great, love the slideshow.
Yes! Glad you loved them too! I feel some TWDers were on the fence about these bad boys.
