I didn’t take a picture of these because they looked no different from everyday Toll House chocolate chip cookies and everyone knows what they look like.
Malted milk balls are one of the few candies that I DO NOT like. I don’t think that it’s the malt flavor that I don’t like, but the chalky dry interior of the candy. Well, because I don’t like them I was surprised when I felt compelled to buy a couple of jars of malted milk powder. I don’t know what it was, but I HAD to buy them -- a jar of ‘plain’ and a jar of chocolate flavor.
To use some of it, I stirred ¾ cup of the plain powder into the standard Toll House recipe; although it could probably be mixed into the flour and stirred in with the dry ingredients, I stirred it into the butter/egg mixture. After the cookies were baked and cooled I was pleasantly surprised that the cookies didn’t have an overly strong malt flavor. It made the cookies taste ‘richer’ or ‘deeper’ and it’s something that I’d do again if I have the malted milk powder on hand (the two jars I have will likely be on hand for a loooong time). To make these cookies look more obviously like something with malted milk flavor, I'm sure you could stir in some chopped Whoppers or something -- but since I don't like malted milk balls, I won't be doing that.
