Yeah yeah yeah, I've made these before. But here's the problem with being one of the first dozen or so members of TWD - there just aren't that many recipes chosen that I haven't made! There's flan and creme brulee and pecan sticky buns, and that's about it. And with a four day vacation in Asheville this past weekend, none of those seemed particularly appealing. Lots of work, and no real way to pass them off to others. But chocolate malted whopper drops? Yep, those sounded just about right. I ended up making a half batch and tucking them away into a couple gift bags of assorted cookies.
I'm just going to assume that they were quite appreciated - as you can go back and read, my reaction to these was *ahem* quite positive. While there aren't too many recipes from Dorie's book that have been made multiple times in my kitchen, this was one I felt deserved it. Happily, so are these cookies, the peanut butter version without any chunky add-ins. Logs of the dough are happily chilling in my freezer for the time when I'm no longer in a sugar coma. So, probably in a month or so.

Those look delicious! I remember really liking these as well. :) Perfect recipe for a week in Asheville!
Ooh white christmas! Crazy that you've pretty much baked your way through that book. I think I've managed two recipes at best, so far.
You're supposed to chop the whopper balls? I had to grab the cookbook and check. You're right. I've made these twice this month because they've been so popular and never once did I see where you chop them. Doh!
Yours look delicious!
Totally jealous of your white Christmas! At least it was cold here, even if there was no chance of snow. =) I know what you mean about having a hard time finding something to rewind. =) I've skipped a few recipes, but most were because they contained things I don't like, such as coconut. I'm sure your cookies were very appreciated by the recipients.
Of course they were appreciated.
Yay for a white Christmas
How could anyone not appreciate these?
I am impressed that you have baked almost all of the recipes. I am still, probably, about a quarter of the way through. I am looking forward to making as many of these, as possible. Love Dorie's creations.
I made these for Novembers rewind. They were very good. I have just been baking with TWD for a little over a year. I have plenty of rewind choices. Have a Happy New Year!
Yep! Remember how tasty these were. Definitely worth a 2nd time or a 3rd or a 4th...
Beautiful snow.
That's the problem with joining at the beginning -- there are only a few recipes we haven't made! I remember these cookies as being really yummy. Happy New Year!
If a recipe is a keeper, it should be made more than once! These are no exception. They look terrific!
Take two??? Are you kidding??? With these guys, it would be Take Two Handfuls!! They look great.
I look forward to making this a second time...yum. You can't beat a cookie.
These are worth making more than once for me, too! Although, oddly, the world peace cookies didn't do it for me. Definitely try the pecan sticky buns at some point, because they are amazing!
