These Malteser Chocolate Cookies are full of chocolate flavour, starting with a chocolate-based cookie filled with Malteser pieces and dark chocolate chips.
I decided to make these Malteser Chocolate Cookies as I was given a few kilograms of this delicious malt chocolate balls. I thought it would be a great way to enjoy this chocolate treat in a chocolate cookie with chocolate chips.
This recipe is easy and fun to make.
