Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) package ready-to-bake chocolate-chip cookie dough see note 1
- 24 Whoppers or other malted candies
- 14 chocolate-covered raisins

Instructions
- Preheat the oven per cookie package directions. Bake cookies on lined sheet pans according to package instructions.
- Let cookies cool for 2 minutes, then press a Whopper into the bottom third of each cookie and a chocolate-covered raisin right above it. Cool for 3 more minutes, then transfer to cooling racks and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
