• STEP 7.Spread a dollop of the malted cream filling onto the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use room temperature butter for the cookie dough to ensure proper creaming with the sugar.
• Do not overmix the cookie dough once the dry ingredients are added, as it can result in a tougher texture.
• For a stronger malt flavor, you can add more malted milk powder to the cream filling.

Storage and Serving

• Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
• Serve the cookies as a delicious treat with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot chocolate.
• These cookies can also be served as a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
