Malteser Cookies

A delightful combination of rich, buttery cookie dough studded with crunchy Maltesers, perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Baked to perfection, ensuring a soft and chewy center with a lightly crisp edge. The aroma of freshly baked cookies will fill your kitchen, beckoning you to indulge in these delightful treats that offer a comforting embrace of sweetness and crunchiness in every bite.

These delightful cookies are a quick fix, requiring under 30 minutes to whip up, and what's more, they are completely egg-free! I find myself turning to these irresistible treats time and time again, making them a must-have in my collection of go-to recipes.

Baking Tips:

• Maltesers: You have the freedom to select any flavor of Malteser that suits your taste for this recipe; the options available are limitless!

• Top cookies with Maltesers: I strongly suggest reserving a portion of the Maltesers, giving them a rough chop, and sprinkling them on top of each cookie prior to baking. Incorporating the Maltesers into the cookie dough might result in them getting lost and not being as visible, so adding them as a topping enhances the look of the cookies, providing a subtle crunch as well.
