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?

I need to spring clean my refrigerator and cabinets! If the result is anything as amazing as these cookies, I will be lucky! I love malt powder and need to use it more often. It’s the best.

Oh wow how spooky?! I just posted Malt Chocolate Chip Cookies today as well! They’re slightly different and your pictures are ten times better though, love your oozy shot! I always seem to make cookies when it’s getting dark so when it comes to photographing them, they’re cooled and not oozing haha! But I get what you mean about wanting to use everything up, that’s where mine came from although I didn’t finish the malt powder either! 😀

I LOVE anything malt. A chocolate-banana malt is my favorite ice cream treat! I’m sure I’d love the cookies. A good clean out is always a good feeling! I did most of my house this past weekend.
