Every once in awhile, I’ll get this urge to just get rid of everything in my pantry and refrigerator. It’s usually when things get so full that boxes and packages and cans fall to the floor whenever I try to find something. And it drives me crazy to have a hundred different open packages there.
So every now and again, I’ll make a list of all of those open packages and ingredients, and I’ll go to work trying to use them up. A spring cleaning of sorts.
These cookies are the result of some of those ingredients. Some malt powder (which I didn’t use up yet – need to do that!) and some chocolate chunks. And I do have to say – I’m pretty happy with how these pantry clean out cookies turned out!!
These don’t have an overwhelming malt flavor, so even if you don’t care for malt, I think you’d still like these cookies. The powder gives them something different without being totally in your face. The chocolate, on the other hand, is quite in your face. But, really – isn’t that what chocolate is supposed to do?

Love malted milk balls, too. I think some smushed ones might be good in these also!

Stephanie @ Girl Versus Dough says
I’m thisclose to doing an overhaul of my pantry, too! Unfortunately I have things like half-bags of rice and pasta to use up, which won’t go over so well in cookies. 🙂 But maybe I’ll make these as a reward for when I finally do reorganize!

I have an opened jar of malt powder that has been driving me crazy! Like you I hate have tons of opened things cluttering my pantry. These cookies need to be mad, they sound awesome!
Colleen @ What's Baking in the Barbershop?! says
What a great idea! I’ve never used malt powder before, but I bet I would love the flavor it lends to these cookies! I love the first pic with the broken cookie with the melted chocolate… Mmmmm.
Belinda @themoonblushbaker says
I think i was addicted to malt powder as a child. I use to eat it straight out of the tin! Pantry raid cookies are great because you can find out new flavour that might work together. If you need to use up malt powder do not be afraid to add it to coffee, milkshakes or even cakes for a deeper flavour.
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
These sound wonderful! Lately I see so many recipes with malt powder and every time I almost buy some to keep on hand, the jar is pretty large and I need like…a half cup. Like you, drives me nuts to have so much open. But sigh…I do. My pantry is a warzone 🙂
Cookies, pinned!
