I love Whoppers! They are my go to candy when I go to the movies; I just can't stop eating them! I made the recipe as written except I did not add the bittersweet chocolate, the recipe seemed to have enough chocolate without the extra chips. I know, I know, but as I explained before, I am not a chocoholic! These cookies came together fast and disappeared fast; so fast I had to make them a second time. They actually did disappear from my camera and the serving plate. In the second batch I added more Whoppers and just rough chopped them, did not get too crazy about quartering each one like I did in the first batch. I got 36 nice sized cookies and would have had about 3 more except the dough tasted really good!!!
Well, I'm a personal trainer and if I told my clients about my baking forays they would string me up in the gym. I know who I can give my baked goodies to and who I cannot. I do eat what I make, I just limit myself and don't over do.
This site started all because of Dorie Greenspan and her book (bible?) "Baking, from my home to yours". I bought the book months ago and was supprised to see how many food blogs referenced her book. I found several baking blogs that mentioned "Tuesdays with Dorie" and I just had to join. I love to cook, to be more specific, bake, and I never tire of finding new recipes and improving old ones. I love to adjust recipes to suit my tasts and to what ingredients I have on hand.
I learned to cook by watching my mom, then helping her and then finally cooking on my own. My mom was born in Rangoon, Burma and lived in India until 1944. Because most Brittish families, in the far East, had cooks my mom did not learn to cook until she came to this country in 1947. Her first attempt at spanish rice resulted in a glue like substance because she forgot to add water to the tomato paste. Dispite these set backs, she became a very good cook and baker.

These cookies deserved two batches, and I agree with your choice to take out the chocolate chunks and up the malted milk ball content. Great ideas.
Next time I am going to coarsely chop the whoppers and add more. Your cookies look delicious!
Great looking cookies!
I have to agree, the dough was delicious!
