You know those speckled eggs you see all over the place around this time? They are pretty fabulous in cookies! Malt Ball White Chocolate Chip Cookies is what I made with them!
A while ago I made some white chocolate chip cookies and sent them to my son in college. He said it was his favorite, so I was happy to oblige. As I made them I thought they would be a good base to throw some other things into. Sorry if I start parading cookies around here. They are my weakness, which is probably why I bake them and give them away!
That is exactly what I did with these cookies this last weekend. I headed to my Mom’s for a quick visit and I brought cookies along with me. I wanted to do something festive so I added chopped mini speckled eggs to them. I have always been a malt ball fan but I wasn’t sure how everyone else felt. Much to my surprise and delight they cookies were a huge success! I was thrilled beyond words!
This recipe is super simple and the one I always go back to when I make cookies. This time I didn’t have any brown sugar, shocking I know, so I just made them with only white sugar and they still came out great! They come together pretty quickly as well too so within 30 minutes you can have warm yummy cookies! ENJOY!

Yum, Nancy! I tried making cookies with Robin’s Eggs last year, and they were a total flop. I will have to try your recipe instead because I still have some in my cabinet from Sunday!

Malt balls are like my Achilles heel of candy. I bet malt balls in a cookie are outstanding.
