make it
1. In large bowl, with mixer on high, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add melted chocolate and malt; beat to combine. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat 2 minutes more. Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined. Refrigerate for 3 hours or up to 3 days.
2. Heat oven to 350F. Shape tablespoons of dough into balls. Drop balls into confectioners' sugar, coating well. Place balls 1" apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are slightly crisp. Let cool 1 minute on baking sheet. Transfer cookies to wire racks, and let cool completely.
Notes
Please don't let this long process intimidate you! This recipe is awsome!!!! My in-laws and family just swarm for these cookies. They are so soft and chewey. Very pretty and festive too when done.
Plan to make 2 or more batches of these wonderful cookies because they'll be gone quick. Happy Holidays!
