unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a unique flavor.

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with stevia

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Stevia reduces sugar content while still being sweet.

sweetened condensed milk

🥗Healthier: evaporated milk + honey

💰Cheaper: regular milk + sugar

Honey adds sweetness without the calories of condensed milk.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, malted milk powder, kosher salt, and baking powder.

In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a dough forms.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.

Cut into rectangular shapes and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set but not hard.

Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.

For the filling, heat the heavy cream and pour it over the chopped milk chocolate, stirring until smooth.

Add a pinch of salt to the filling and mix well.

Assemble the cookies by spreading the chocolate cream filling between two cookies.

Melt dark chocolate and dip each assembled cookie into the chocolate, coating completely.

Place back on the wire rack and chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set.
