Whopper Cookies

Chocolate chips and whoppers

If you love malted milk ball candies, these cookies are for you! The cookies have chopped malted milk balls, or Whopper candies added along with plenty of chocolate chips.

These cookies are crispy on the edges with a soft, chewy center. They are perfect for freezing, adding to a cookie tray, or serving at a bbq or potluck.

If you love the classic chocolate chip cookie, these cookies are a version of those cookies.

Key ingredients

Ingredients for making cookies.

Ingredients

This section reviews the best ingredients and substitutions for this recipe. For an exact list of ingredients and quantities, check the recipe card below.

  • Malted Milk Ball Candies - These are sold as Whoppers or sometimes under a different name. You want chocolate-covered malted candies.
  • Malted Milk Powder - Can usually be found in the baking aisle near regular powdered milk or sometimes near the instant breakfast powders in the cereal aisle.
  • Chocolate Chips - Use your favorite, milk chocolate, semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
  • Butter - I use regular salted butter.
  • Sugar - Both brown sugar and granulated sugar are used.

Step-by-step directions

In this section, I share step-by-step photos, cooking methods, techniques, and a general overview. For detailed instructions, temperatures, and timing, check the printable recipe card below.

  • Combine butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together. Mix until soft and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.

Recipe tips

  • Cream the butter and sugar together for longer than you might think. Creaming helps add air to the mixture and helps dissolve the sugar crystals. Use an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes (or longer!)
  • You want softened butter, but not melted.
  • Use a cookie scoop to get evenly sized-cookies. I used a #40 scoop.
  • Bake in a fully preheated oven.

Frequently asked questions

Once the cookies are fully cool, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days.
