Chocolate Chocolate and More!

Welcome to my baking adventures.

Chocolate Malt Cookies with Chocolate Chips

Chocolate Malt Cookies with Chocolate Chips-the perfect treat with a ice cold glass of milk.

Chocolate Malt Cookies with Chocolate Chips

What do you do when you have a plumbing problem and you know the plumber will be arriving in a few hours? You make cookies. The best cookies you can think of. For him. You make decadent Chocolate Malt Cookies with chocolate chips.

We’ve had a wet spot on our carpet for about a week. My hubby kept trying to blame the dog but trust me, if our dog was able to pee enough to make a spot this big, she’s got some serious issues.

I knew it wasn’t the dog. But we couldn’t figure it out. Every morning, the spot would start out dry and by evening, it’s be mushy wet. We thought maybe a pipe was leaking, but leaking up?

There was no water damage on the ceiling below the spot. This went on for days. Finally, I don’t know what possessed me to look under the kitchen sink, but I did. Sure enough, every time we turned on the water, it was leaking…bad.

So I call our local plumber, he comes right out, fiddles around a bit, determines the problem is the faucet hose. tries to fix it with a new washer, nope. Gonna need a new faucet.

That settled, we gossip about everyone in town for a bit, when I ask him what do I owe? “No charge, I’ll see you tomorrow after you get your faucet.” This is not a friend of ours. Mr. Emmet and I had never met before, but we both knew of each other. This is just how things are done in small towns.

Chocolate Malt Cookies with Chocolate Chips

I wanted to make Mr. Emmet something to show my appreciation  I thought about  cinnamon rolls but didn’t know what time he’d be here. Cold rolls just don’t say thank you like hot ones would. And I couldn’t be baking while he was working, I’d be in his way. It had to be cookies. Still baked fresh that morning.

So Mr. Emmet came to install my new faucet and brought 2 helpers. One of the helpers noticed the cookies cooling on the table. “Who you making cookies for?” “For you all.”

I think he was a little surprised but when they left I had 3 bags of cookies all wrapped up and ready for them. Of course Mr. Emmet had to stick around a bit and chat just a little longer.

He’s cooking up Boston butts this weekend cause they’re on sale this week at Freshway. The things you learn about in a small town…

    You make me want to live in a small town! We won’t even discuss the difficulties of getting any home repair help in New York. Fortunately for me, Brian is very handy. So…I’ll send him right over in exchange for a plate of these cookies. Deal? ๐Ÿ™‚

    Those cookies look great! I’m going to have to put malted milk powder on my list and try them. You know, I never enjoyed growing up in a small town and couldn’t wait to escape to the big city in another state! After about 10 years of living in some of the larger cities in the US, I came back home with a new appreciation for the “interested” people I used to think of as just plain “nosey”!

    Oh wow these look dreamy! A big Valentine’s Day box of these babies and I’d be in heaven this year. I just had an actual chocolate malt for the first time in years and I loved it so much I was going to make my own.. I’ll have to bake a batch or three of these while I’m at it.

    now your plumber is a lucky one, and speaking of leaks under the sink I have one too, i noticed it a few days ago and right now I have a bucket underneath it until I can call the plumber later this week.
    The cookies look great, the more chocolate the better!

    What a sweet thing to do for the plumber…I bet you made his day! I never think to put malted milk powder in my cookies–what a great idea!

    Love this story Joan! Just goes to show, you should always show your guests- no matter who they are, good hospitality! ๐Ÿ™‚ And I love these cookies, you can’t go wrong with a chocolate malt cookie! YUMMY!

    These look really good. I’m looking for a malt cookie recipe and I’m glad to see that contain plenty of malt in them. Do you happen to know what weight your bag of chocolate chips was?

    • Joan Hayes says

      July 5, 2013 at 6:45 pm

      Laura, I used the regular sized bag, 12 ounces.

  26. Tina says

    September 12, 2013 at 9:32 am

    These look great. Did you use dutch-processed cocoa or regular cocoa?

    • Joan Hayes says

      September 12, 2013 at 10:43 am

      Hi Tina, I used regular Hershey’s Cocoa.

      • Tina says

        September 12, 2013 at 11:37 am

        Thanks! I’m about to put my first batch in the oven! I can’t wait! ๐Ÿ™‚

  27. Tina says

    September 12, 2013 at 12:33 pm

    They came out really well. Thanks for the recipe! My husband loves chocolate malt flavored anything!

    I’m dying waiting for weekend so i can try your recipe!

    I just made these tonight. I refrigerated the dough for at least an hour. My cookies came out very flat and not as soft as I had hoped on ex they set up. What could the reason be? I bake a lot of cookies. Followed the recipe to a T. (They still taste delicious!!)

    • Joan Hayes says

      November 24, 2013 at 10:23 am

      It sounds like your baking soda was flat. You can test your baking soda but putting a small amount in some hot water, it should bubble up like a bubble bath.

    December 13, 2013 at 11:36 pm

    How many cookies does this make, with a medium cookie scoop? Thanks.

    • Joan Hayes says

      December 14, 2013 at 8:33 am

      This recipe will make about 4 dozen cookies. Enjoy!

      • Jeanie says

        December 14, 2013 at 8:58 am

        Thanks again. I also wondered whether dark cocoa powder can be substituted for the traditional kind, and whether the chocolate chips are required…?

  31. Danielle @ TheBestDessertRecipes.com says

    January 22, 2014 at 6:25 pm

    These look like they’re to-die-for! I have to add them onto my baking list!

    January 23, 2014 at 10:18 am

    These are gotta-makes! I live in a small town as well and completely relate – there is no such thing as a quick trip to the market or just running in to get your mail – it’s a whole different social event every day ๐Ÿ™‚

  33. Angie says

    February 11, 2014 at 4:06 pm

    I made these cookies recently and they are PHENOMENAL! Excellent recipe, a keeper for sure. ๐Ÿ™‚

    These tasted superb. The only change I did was adding half cup Greek yogurt with half cup of butter,very moist,kids loved it

  35. Berenice says

    March 22, 2015 at 12:57 pm

    Hi! I was wondering if I can use chocolate malt powder instead. If so, do I still need to add the cocoa powder?

    • Joan Hayes says

      March 27, 2015 at 9:00 am

      Yes you can use the chocolate malt powder but I would still recommend adding the cocoa powder for a rich chocolate cookie.

      • Berenice says

        April 10, 2015 at 12:55 pm

        Thank you for replying!! I will definitely try this recipe! ๐Ÿ™‚
