Mixed-Bag Mondays Malted Chocolate Cookies

Originally this was going to be a regular recipe post, but I had a problem pop up while making it. Basically, I didn’t realized that my malted milk powder had gone hard and I attempted to salvage it by adding some water to “rehydrate” it, but that didn’t work. So, I didn’t make the recipe as written and can’t really replicate it exactly, but I would definitely try it again because even though the cookies ended up spread out and seemingly not good, I loved them on the second day especially. They were like a really flat brownie with chocolate chips. I was okay with it!

Big Cookies and Cream Cookies

If you like big cookies, and you are looking for another recipe to try, then these are for you. They are a cross between an Oreo cookie and a double chocolate cookie. The mix of textures with the soft insides and the crunchier outsides (and the Oreo crumbs) really make these fun to eat.

Monster Cookies

I have heard this kind of cookie called all sorts of names. This is based on the compost cookies from Milk Bar, but they are definitely the simplified version. These you could easily whip up and have ready, and you could even have your kids help.

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

This was a recipe that I came across over the winter holidays and wanted to try because I liked the idea that you use both granulated and powdered sugar to coat the dough balls to get a crunchy coating with the soft inside like a normal crinkle cookie.

Wayback Wednesdays: Confetti Milk Bar Cookies

It has been a long while since I made these cookies and I wanted to make something that was not too complicated and that I had the ingredients. Ha! Joke was on me. While making these, I ran out of sprinkles, but made do, and then I also ran out of flour. I thought I had another bag, but nope. To make it even worse? I had just gone grocery shopping that morning and didn’t realize. I was so annoyed. I ended up adding some bread flour, so these cookies were definitely not going to turn out the same way.

Chocolate-Topped Cookies, take 2

How did I do? Still not quite the chocolate-topped cookies from Maryland that I’m used to having, but it was closer. The frosting was better the longer it sat, although the cookies obviously don’t improve with time or stay as fresh since they don’t have preservatives.

King Arthur Flour’s Recipe of the Year Cookies

After seeing that King Arthur Flour was sharing their recipe of the year and that it was a chocolate chip cookie recipe, I decided to try to pull up the link. Well, it didn’t work. Then I checked the link on their socials: also down. Apparently it was so popular, I would have to wait. Then I saw they had a youtube video for the recipe and I watched it. There are some very different steps in it from a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe, and I was interested in how it would turn out. They said the cookie would be soft and chewy.
