Creamy, chocolatey, and delicious. These cookies melt in your mouth like an oreo milkshake. They are so damn good!
The inspiration...
I am absolutely obsessed with baking and eating these cookies. It took me a few tries to create the perfect Oreo malt cookie. Like most people, I grew up eating way too many cookies especially Oreo cookies. I use to want to only eat the inside of an Oreo cookie because I loved the creaminess. There was this local diner that my friends and I ate at almost every weekend and some weekday evenings. The diner was the place to hang out as a young kid because the food was quick and delicious! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, the diner had all you can eat at any time of day. I use to order this Oreo malt milkshake because these shakes were creamy and oh so good! These milkshakes were addicting to drink, they had me coming back way too many times. I was inspired by this childhood memory so I made these cookies. My goal for these cookies is to have them taste like those Oreo malt milkshakes I use to order at the diner. I want that rich, malt, chocolate flavor filled with Oreo crumbs and a creamy flavor that comes from those decadent white chocolate chips. I promise you every bite will remind you of an Oreo malt milkshake. These cookies are like drinking a milkshake you won't want to stop.
These are the perfect cookies to make for a celebration because they will be a huge hit and they are easy to bake up in large batches. I love that cookies are easy to make and eating a cookie can put a smile on anyone's face. You must try these out. They have become my go-to cookie recipe for occasions and to satisfy a cookie craving!
A few tips:
Malt mix - the malt mix I used for this recipe is from Ovaltine - Chocolate Malt. It is a childhood favorite for making chocolate milk or hot chocolate and it tastes delicious in these cookies.
Crushing the Oreos - to crush the Oreos I put the cookies in a plastic bag and use the bottom of a cup to smash. I like my pieces to be very fine crumbs so that when I mix the Oreo crumbs in the batter I get a strong Oreo flavor. I also crush a few Oreos by hand to mix in larger chunks.
Refrigerate the dough - this step can't be skipped since we are partially melting the butter. The dough needs an hour or so to cool down before you bake them in the oven. If you don't cool the dough, the cookies will come out too flat.
