My parents arrive in just a few days to celebrate Thanksgiving with us here in California. I’m so excited to have them here for the next 10 days. But by the time they leave on the 27th, I’ll be in full blown panic mode.
Stella’s birthday, Christmas, New Years, my MIL’s 80th, and rounded out by Charlie’s 18th birthday on the 8th of January, we have A LOT of celebrating going on. Which means I have a lot of planning and prep going on.
I love this time of year, but at the same time I am not a big fan of the stress that comes at this time of year. I’d love nothing more than to simply curl up on the couch with a fire, a warm drink, some fuzzy slippers, and Christmas movies. My reality is that we are going non-stop ‘til January.
I may not have my cards ready, or my presents purchased. I don’t have wrap, or decorations, or my menu planned for all the parties, but I do have my holiday hostess, teacher, and neighbor gifts figured out. These malted chocolate crinkle cookies are my go-to gift this holiday season. Who doesn’t love a delicious chocolate cookie?
Baking is something I do when I feel stress, so it seemed only natural to put all that baking to good use. I think we all have enough candles, wine, and spa products, not that these wouldn’t be appreciated, but I think home baked goods are a far more personal gift, especially at holiday time. Food really is an expression of love.
I started with my base recipe for chocolate crinkle cookie. It’s a cookie I make ALL the time, and they always bake up perfectly. When gifting, I don’t like to add more stress by using a new-to-me recipe. That never goes well. Crinkles are delicious with a little spice, or some mint, but lately I have been LOVING malted chocolate. One bite of a malted chocolate crinkle cookie and I think you’ll love it too.
malted chocolate crinkle cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup dark dutch processed cocoa

- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt

- in another bowl whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla
- melt chocolate and butter, and whisk into the egg mixture

- roll each ball in the sugar, and then the powdered sugar

Especially when baking for others, I like to use the best ingredients I can afford. All flours are not created equal. Bob’s Red Mill flours are high quality, and really make a difference in the end product. Same with the chocolate. I love using dark chocolate, but use what you prefer; just choose a high quality product (no chocolate chips here, please).
His holiday season make yourself and someone else feel good by sharing something baked with love, like these malted chocolate crinkle cookies, and right now you can save $1 on your favorite Bob’s Red Mill product.

Enjoy!
These look amazing!! need to find a friend to make them for me. I miss malt 🙁 my son has Celiac, so I don’t cook with gluten at home.
thank you, and they are just as delicious without the malt. Bob’s gluten free flour blend bakes up amazing cookies
Yummy!!! This looks amazing!
thank you so much
I’ve never made these cookies before, but they are so good! I try not to bake cookies very often, otherwise I end up eating WAY too many of them…and then I don’t have enough to share
same here, but with teens in the house i don’t get many cookies 🙂 thank you
These are the perfect gift! Love the boxing idea too.

thank you so much
Oh I hve never tried making this type of cookie! They look delicious and I love the packaging for a gift! Your website is amazing and I am glad I came across it.
thank you so very much! crinkles are a must for us each holiday season
I love chocolate crinkle cookies – they are so CLASSIC looking. But you’ve really drawn me in with the “malted” aspect. I really think that would make these cookies extra special! <3
we love crinkles pretty much any wasy we can get them, but these malted chocolate are probably my fave
How many cookies does this make? Also, my oven runs “cold,” and I need to bake cookies longer than generally called for. Is there a visual sign of doneness I can look for?
i usually get about 2 dozen i believe – and as far as looks go when they are puffed with a nice shiny cracked top is when i take them out; hope this helps
