Come in out of the snow. I know your hands and feet have got to be freezing cold from building the neighborhood’s largest snowman. You must be exhausted from sledding non-stop down the hill and back up and down the hill and back up again, over and over. Take your coat, shoes and mittens off and sit down to a nice steaming cup of hot chocolate and my first Dorie Greenspan recipe attempt…Chocolate Malted Whopper Cookies. They didn’t turn out puffy like her recipe suggested, but they were still a great treat to go along with the fire and cocoa. Enjoy!

Very cool picture – what a snowman making crew!
The cookies sound really good too – did they get a lil chewy like whoppers sometimes do? Love that. 😀
Kristen says

Hi, Kristen!
This is a huge snowman! I can only imagine how tired – and hungry – the kids were after finishing it.
These cookies look great! I love baking cookies, although I haven’t baked many different types so far. Definitely something I want to improve this year.
Oh, and thank you very, very much for the link to my blog here – I was thrilled when I saw it! 😀

Whopper cookies? Now that’s what I’m talking about!
I’m looking for a recipe for malt-ball cake on the F&W list. I think you can count this as the cake!
