I love to bake for my friends and family. My husband and children are my taste testers since I don't like eating cookies although I will taste one to make sure they came out as they should. I still don't like to eat cookies, but I can eat a few of these with no problem. Even the batter tastes like heaven (but I discourage this behavior since the ingredients are raw). I get such raves when I make these and can never seem to make enough. I have my husband/children put the malted milk balls in a zipped bag and use a meat tenderizer or small rolling pin to crush them up. They don't mind since they know what's coming. Great cookie recipe, have made many times and will continue.

I liked these, but one thing to note: You should make sure to *really* crush the malted milk balls. Some of mine were almost whole when they went into the oven, and the result is that the malted part on the inside becomes very chewy. But they were still quite good!
