Double Chocolate Malt Cookies

November 8, 2015 by Katie Bryson

Double chocolate malt cookies on feedingboys.co.uk

Crispy on the outside, crazily chewy on the inside, dark chocolate, white chocolate, maltesers – there’s so much going on in these cookies they’re an absolute joy.

I was tasked with making a dessert for a firework party this weekend, and after leafing through Jamie Oliver’s Comfort Food cookbook, I decided that hand-held baked treats would be the perfect party food.

I’ve had Comfort Food for a while, but never done anything more than drool over the recipes, so it was good to finally make something from the book. Jamie’s recipes are a safe bet when it comes to crowd-pleasers, so you know you’re in good hands.

The cookies are simple to make, so are a great bake for the littlies to get involved with. Whether it’s breaking up the chocolate to melt, crushing the maltesers or drizzling chocolate over the top, there’s a job for everyone. You could also package some up in clear bags with pretty ribbons or put them in a funky tin to make edible gifts.

I’m really missing the amount of time I spent cooking and baking, so it felt good to steal away an hour or two in the kitchen for a spot of baking. I know some people find cooking a stressful task, but for me it will always be how I unwind. Plus I particularly love cooking for an occasion – especially a party!

The kids were all rushing around in a frenzy, only pausing briefly to grab a cookie out of the tin before continuing with the important business of waving sparklers around, jumping on the trampoline and playing football (not all at once I might add).

    I don’t use malt enough in my cooking, which is daft as I love the depth of flavour it brings. Really like the sound of these.

      It’s such a delicious recipe Kavey… a touch of malt powder and all those crushed maltesers… so good!

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
