TWD: A Whopper of A Cookie

This week's recipe was chosen by Rachel of Confessions of a Tangerine Tart. I bow down to Rachel... I was so excited to make these that I actually made them last week along with the other cookies. My husband loves the Whopper candies and so I knew these would be a huge hit here at my house!

These were so soft and yummy, that even though I packaged up a few for friends, the majority stayed right here and were eaten up at lightening speed by all of us!

Next time I make these (and oh yes, I will be making these again) I want to try to use chocolate malt powder instead of original, and I won't chop up the whoppers as fine.

I love love loved these cookies!!!

    I loved them, too! The chocolate malt powder was a great addition. I also chopped the Whoppers in half, but I think next time, might try pressing a whole one on top of the cookies, as well!

    These are better with bigger chunks of Whoppers, I think. Yours look delicious!

    Yours came out looking great! I agree, if I make them again, I won't chop up the whoppers as much. I would have liked the cookies bumpier!

    Aww, isn't it great when you come upon a new recipe that really rocks? And now you know how to make it even better! (I used chocolate ovaltine and dark chocolate cocoa and they were very intense).

    I LOVE your blog! And the cakes you make are just darling! You're so talented! My husband is in the Army and my brother-in-law is a Marine, so the fact that you're a military spouse also makes me a big fan!
