    Crunchy Chocolate Chunk Cookies

    Give these cookies an unexpected crunch by stirring in a handful of malted milk balls. If you love a gooey center (and who doesn't), freeze the portioned dough right on the baking sheet, and bake it straight from the freezer. You're not reinventing the wheel, just the chocolate chip cookie.
