TWD: Malted Whopper cookies.. AKA "I love you mommy!"

This weeks recipe was chosen by Rachel of Confessions Of A Tangerine tart

I read the recipe again, more than once.. I am so getting better at this.. While I was making these cookies, EJ comes up to me and said "I love you mommy.. you know why?" I said why EJ.. "because I love your baking" he replied with a sheepish grin. THEN he ask me to lick the beater.. I know him to well, so I knew it was coming..


Ok, back to the recipe. I used to LOVE ovaltine, when I was in kindergarten, living on Pierce and Eddy in San Francisco, ummm hmm after school ovaltine was da bomb.. OK, so I went to the store and got the ovaltine and the bittersweet chocolate, fussed at the kids, for arguing who was gonna! ask hubby to bring whoppers so I can make the cookies,and he brings me milk duds.. I won't complain, milk duds are like my favorite chocolate candy aside from whatchamacallit, 100 grand, Reese's. Did I mention the I prefer fruity candy? (more specifically tropical Starburst). OK I digress, so I made the cookies after a dinner of crab and artichoke twice baked potatoes. And I promised that they would get to have one before they went to bed.

I wasn't sure I would like them, because chocolate is not my fave thing, but OH MY GOSH.. I ate at least 4! (4 is the magic number for me, look at my eclair post.)
