Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate chips or melting chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cookies. Look for chocolate that is at least 60% cacao for a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you form evenly sized cookies that will bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Chocolate malt ball cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
