Very yummy cookies! Just like chocolate chip cookies-I really didn't taste the malt. I made the following subs for a healthier cookie: used whole wheat flour, replaced half the butter with ground flax seed and used all 60% cocoa chocolate chips. I also added about 1 TBSP water to the batter as it was a little dry. The cookies turned out great-will make again!02/09/10

I think these cookies were very tasty! I have made them twice now, and they were good both times. They are absolutely delicious right out of the oven and remain soft and chewy over a few days. Both times I made the recipe, I opted to only use 3/4 c. of one kind of chocolate chips. One time I used only milk chocolate, the other time only semi-sweet. Both turned out good, but I much preferred the taste of the milk chocolate chips. The semi-sweet chips made the cookies taste a little more like a graham cracker than a chocolate cookie.02/08/10
