I hope you're as mad about cookies as I am. Because it's Tuesdays with Dorie and I've got a whopper malted cookie that will make you stark raving mad. 
Actually, my love affair with cookies is no TWD summer luvin' fling. I have a deep and abiding love for the little sweet circles. I like them better than all the brainy superfoods and healthfoods and edamame and tofu. I wish I could eat cookies every day and still not get the chubs and live to be 103. Since I can't, I make them every week instead. Without fail. Sunday night you're always going to find my cookies at my place and you're all invited. I'll give you my address later. Promise.I made my cookie batch, knowing it would be a soft, cakey cookie due to the addition of milk. I added a whole extra cup of flour to my dough and they were still plenty pillowy. 
For kicks, I added some Peanut Butter Whoppers (find em' at Wal-Mart) to half of my dough, and used Chocolate Ovaltine for the malted milk powder. 
Wowee. With plain whoppers or peanut butter whoppers, this is one good cookie. When I was laying my little 5 year old cowboy down to bed, he asked me if he could have eight cookies in the morning for breakfast. When I told him he could have just one with his wheaties, he told me to hide the rest so Dad wouldn't take them to work. Can you see why I love this kid? He has inherited my sweets greediness, my weakness for thinking of food when I should be counting sheep, my sneaky craftiness for hiding the best treats. All those irresistible flaws in one little person! That little sweetie doesn't fall far from the cookie jar.
Go here and get the recipe. (Remember I added a whole extra cup of flour, and I used half whole wheat for all the flour. I also poked extra whoppers into the tops of the baked cookies.) Make them soon.
For my fellow penny pinchers, the estimated cost is $5.00 for the full batch. I can't stop thinking about them and can only hope I can make it Sunday before I succumb to the dark side and make them again. 
Coming Tomorrow:

Wow--the peanutbutter takes these to a whole other level--YUM! I would want to hide them all for me too!
ReplyDeleteCookies! If your little cookie monster wants 8 for breakfast and is afraid of dad taking them off to work, they must be awesome! That's to funny. He's got the right idea about hiding them from dad. I love that are little ones say the cutest things.
ReplyDeleteMad about cookies, who me? No! Not even chocolate. Nop. I won't care for these, no no... But just in case, can you please post your adress!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey make peanut butter Whoppers????????????????????????????????????????? You have opened up a whole new world to me!!!!!
ReplyDeletePeanutbutter whoppers - I have never seen them. Lucky you!!! I had a heard enough time finding regular whoppers.
ReplyDeleteI made these yesterday and they were AMAZING out of the oven. I just had a cold one (for breakfast :) )and discovered they are better warm. A few seconds in the microwave outta fix that.
I now have a massive jar of ovaltine in the cupboard. I'm off to do a search for what else I can make with it.
Those look wonderful!! I could eat the peanut butter all alone and be happy!
ReplyDeleteSmart, smart boy you have there. You really do need to plan and scheme in advance to make sure you get your fair share, because they will disappear quickly! Yours look amazing, as usual. I love your addition of PB Whoppers!
ReplyDeleteYours are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour peanut butter whopper drops look wonderful! I love how cute and puffy they are. Your son sounds like such a sweetie, dreaming of cookies for breakfast, how adorable. My family is full of little cookies monsters so we try to make one batch a week, can't go wrong with a cookie :)
ReplyDeleteMmmmm! Glad to see you carrying the peanut butter tradition from the previous week, because there's not a better flavor in the world!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of yours with the whole whoppers sticking out.
ReplyDeleteToday is the first day I have heard of pb whoppers.
Great job, Prudy!
"Doesn't fall far from the cookie jar!" LOL! I might have to start using that one! Your cookies look lumpy and chunky, which of course, is a compliment! :o)
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't even know there was such a thing as peanut butter whoppers. They sound fabulous, what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI would also like 8 of these for breakfast! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen PB whoppers but will be looking for some. I will also be stopping by for some...if there is any leftover:)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to look for some, too! Dagerously good, I bet! Your cookies look fabulous and your son sounds like he's definitely following his mama's brilliant footsteps :-)
ReplyDeleteAlexis and others:
ReplyDeleteI found the peanut butter whoppers at Wal mart. Thanks for stopping by and good luck with that Ovaltine. I have a big can too, but the kids love it in milk so I'm all set.
"The sweetie doesn't fall far from the cookie jar." Love it! I'm afraid I don't make cookies. When my daughters do, they make several hundred to last at most 2 days. Sad.
ReplyDeleteYum! These look tasty!
ReplyDeleteI got your comment and I'm too tired right now but I'm on it. I will send you an email so that I don't have to come back and get your address tomorrow but I didn't want you to think I had disregarded your request!
Erin, your cookies look fabulous, but then again, I'd expect nothing less! You have me craving peanut butter whoppers now...sadly a creature not found on these British shores! However did you keep your whoppers from melting?? Mind ended up all crunchy and chewy and not at all discernable as a whopper for the most part!
ReplyDeleteYour whoppers looks GREAT on top. Mine didn't look like that! I used the peanut butter whoppers too. They also have strawberry milkshake whoppers. I thought they might be good with white chocolate in a cookie.
ReplyDeleteMarie:
ReplyDeleteI poked extra on top when they were done baking-so there were melted ones insides and crispy ones on top.
Great idea about adding the extra flour. Maybe that would solve the softness issue I had with mine. Such a cute story about your little one. Sweet dreams, indeed!

Oh my! These look simply sinful! Can't wait to cross the dark side!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there was such a thing as peanut butter whoppers. You took those cookies to a whole other level. You did a great job being Cajun!
ReplyDeleteYour little boy is adorable. I could just picture him saying that with a very serious look in his big brown eyes. Tell him I've been known to stash delicious foods too. Cookies look so go and I had no idea about Peanut Butter Whoppers. How is Ovaltine? The only thing I know about Ovaltine is from Christmas Story where Ralphy was told to make sure he drinks plenty of it by Little Orphan Annie. Was she right?
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know they made PB whoppers! Great idea!! These cookies look great! I haven't tried this yet...but I am going to now. Josh loves ovaltine!! I am sure he will love it in these cookies! But no PB for him, he is allergic, sad!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely cookies Prudy! xxGloria

ReplyDeletePrudy Im sorry I have to deleted one comment! Era el mismo se me habìa repetido dos veces, no sè que pasò, por eso lo borrè.Muchos cariños, Gloria
ReplyDeleteNingun problema, Gloria. Me encanta tener muchos comments, y jamas me aburro de tus palabras tan simpaticas!:)
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderfully delicious! Can I really have your address so I can come on Sundays and try all your delicious cookie creations? I love how you put extra whoppers on top- I think I would've like that, adding a little more whopper taste. They look yummy! oh, and I can't wait for your soup, I love how you always entice me with what is coming next!
ReplyDeleteLike the PB idea!
ReplyDeleteTomorrows recipe sounds scrumptious!
Your TWD posts are always so great, I love the Reese's Whoppers. I'll be off on a Target run later to search for those. Delicious looking cookies!
ReplyDeleteThese tasty little beauties are making me hungry. I love the idea of using whoppers in a cookie.
ReplyDeletepeanut butter whoppers, what a great find!! they look so delicious :) 8 of these for breakfast sounds good to me!! hehe.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful color contrast your cookies have! Love it, love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing cookie! I can't wait to make them. They look heavenly. I can just imagine the crunch that the whoppers give to the cookie. I would love to eat 8 of these cookies in the morning too!
ReplyDeleteI DO see why you love your little one! And I'm amazed that your malted milk balls didn't just melt into your batter since mine did!
ReplyDeleteYum, peanut butter whoppers...brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThey look great Prudy! Your little guy is so funny. Mine kept signing "more more more" and trying to climb up on the counter! I guess passing the little boy test is a sign of a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing recipes with different flavors of Whoppers but can't find them anywhere here! I guess I'll have to stick to the original, which isn't too shabby, right? Your cookies look great. :)
ReplyDeleteMMMM! Can't go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate. I'll have to make these when my husband isn't around so I don't have to share. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great variety of whopper drops. I only had Maltesers and I think I chopped them too much.
ReplyDeleteGreat result

I wish I could whoppers here! Although I have just found a company who sells american confectionary so might give them a try
ReplyDeleteOh I wish we could just eat cookies all the time too! My in laws are here and every night around dinner time, I test the waters with questions like, "I don't really feel like dinner, how about some cookies?" But no one goes along, evidently cookies don't equal dinner. But they do, in my book!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and as usual, "These look great, can't wait to try them" I feel like a robot, but it's so true about every recipe you make!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! There is so much malt going around.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try the pb whoppers. They have strawberry also, I think. I don't know?? A strawberry whopper? Sounds sketchy.
Wow, those look great and you even added an extra cup of flour! I wish I could peanut butter whoppers, they sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteYours look wonderful! I know my family would like another batch of these.
ReplyDeletePrudy I need to get out their bake! Your cookies look/sound d-lish! I need a houseful of kids to inspire me! It is a bummer baking for only 2!
ReplyDeleteYou are too cute. My husband would be in heaven at your house on Sundays. I always bake him cookies on Sundays when he's deployed, but I monitor the cookie jar when he's home.
ReplyDeleteO my goodness!!!!
ReplyDeletePB Woppers sound DIVINE!!!
What???Peanut Butter WHOPPERS????I never knew there was such a thing!!!I must go on a search for them! I will not sleep till I get them!!!LOL
ReplyDeleteYay peanut butter Whoppers! I'm probably going to pick up a box next time I'm at Wal Mart (which is where I also saw them and strawberry)
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, yes - a million times yes!

Hi, Prudy...thank you for visiting my new blog.I'm just starting out (both with my blog and with TWD) and I appreciate the encouragement. I like your theme (I need your theme!) I'll be baking with you next week (and pinching pennies by using up my chocolate stash).
ReplyDeleteoh, your cookies look so much better than mine! those PB whoppers are awesome!
ReplyDeletePeanut butter whoppers? yummmm! I bet they are delicious in this cookie!
ReplyDeleteReese's whoppers - fabulous. I love how your whopper bits didn't seem to melt as much into the cookies as mine did.
ReplyDeleteI need to find some of those PB whoppers. My hubs would go crazy for them!
ReplyDeleteClara @ iheartfood4thought
I am jealous you found pb whoppers - I searched but couldn't find them around here. Your cookies look fab and I am ashamed to admit I could never stick to a Sunday-only sweet diet, as much as I should probably try it!
ReplyDeletepeanutbutter whoppers sounds fan (considering I didnt know what whoppers were until i got this book!). I left the milk out of mine whcih made the dough a bit firmer
ReplyDeleteI went to Wal-mart today for the first time in 11 days and that was a real record for me. But I wanted you to know that two of the things in my cart were Peanut Butter Whoppers and Ovaltine! I thought, I must be crazy! But some day soon, I'm making this recipe! I'll let you know how we like them.
ReplyDeleteThings are so much better. Heavenly Father is so full of love for all His children and we are very blessed :)
These look sooooo yummy. And you son's story is too cute.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, I think I might just have to make these...and de-gluten 'em! Oh wow, so many addicting ingredients in one cookie! Yep, these wouldn't last under my roof :D.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love PB and chocolate!
ReplyDeleteThese were good. I may have to try them again with the PB whoppers. Well, of course, I will be trying them again...that dough!
ReplyDeleteOh sweet goodness!!
ReplyDeleteI am still getting over the peanutbutter Whoppers too! Thank you for telling us where you found your peanutbutter Whoppers and what made you think to add another cup of flour? You are simply brilliant! The coffee whoppers were a shock to me too when I found them. =D
ReplyDeletei am loving the PB whoppers! i want 8 cookies for my breakfast, too!
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh! Your son sounds like a mini-me, with perhaps double the craftiness and advanced planning I had at his age. I love the idea of adding PB whoppers, that might have been just what I needed to cut down on some of the rich chocolate flavor. Yours look the closest to Dorie's I've seen so far, I wish I had thought to add chips and whoppers to the top of the cookies before baking to give them that extra sumthin sumthin.
ReplyDeletei hate regular whoppers (although that's one of the best names for a candy ever), but i haven't tried the peanut butter version. i'll bet i'd like those, and i'm sure i'd love your cookies. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, your cookies look so pretty. I am a big cookie lover like your good self! I just love making them and eating them afterwards :)
ReplyDeleteI so need to find some peanut butter whoppers! They sound delicious.

These cookies make you greed, I didn't want to share them either, but I did it for the good of my thighs...heehee! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my first TWD post and for your comment! I love your blog design and your music is delightful...I think I have to copy your playlist :)
ReplyDeleteYour cookies are so pretty! I bet the p-nut butter whopper ones were great. With such yummy food around its no surprise that your little man enjoys it so much already.
How CUTE is that story about your little "cowboy"?! He's one smart kid!!! And it looks like you had the right idea... extra flour and keeping those whopper pieces nice and chunky! Wow, they loo gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look brilliant I love the last pic. :-)
ReplyDeleteOhhh you used the PB Whoppers! I am dying to do something with those. I love this!!!! Awesome cookies, just awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love your site - cool music! I used the PB Whoppers too, aren't they the best?! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWow, I wish we had peanutbutter whoppers in Holland so I could try them in these cookies, I;m sure they taste wonderfull!
ReplyDeleteOh yum the peanut butter and chocolate just sounds so good! My little one loves these as a snack at school (real healthy!)
ReplyDeleteYeah, we didn't want to share them either. Your version looks so great!
ReplyDeletelike mother, like son! that sounds just like henry around these parts. i wonder where HE gets it?:)
ReplyDeleteThese look great! I swear the cookie in the first picture is smiling at me...
ReplyDeleteyour kid is so cute! sound like something i would say too :) your cookies look great, esp w/topped with extra whoppers.
ReplyDeletei confess - i made them again tonight (a double batch! shhhhhh!)
I said to myself, "Well, I wonder what Erin is going to do this week to put this recipe OVER THE EDGE," and now I have seen it. You are so great at being creative and your cookies look really really great...nice and rich and puffy and chewy (mine were flat and crispy...don't ask because I haven't a clue).
ReplyDeleteLove the comment from your son about not letting Daddy get them. Around here, it is Daddy who says to me, "Hide these from the kids so I'll have some in the morning." LOL.
Sheesh, I must have been living in a cave. PB Whoppers? That is awesome. You have a great fan base. I don't know anyone else on TWD with 90+ comments.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sugar Betty! Although, honestly, this is a first for me to have this many comments. Tuesdays are definitely my big comment day though.
