Ingredients
-
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 cup instant malted milk powder (Ovaltine etc)
-
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature (1 stick with 3 extra tbs)
-
2/3 cup sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1/4 cup whole milk
-
2 cups malted milk balls, coarsely chopped (I use Whoppers, 6 oz in total)
-
1 cup chocolate chips or 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunk
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Sift together flour, malted milk powder, cocoa, baking powder and salt set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed for 3 minutes, until very smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating for a minute after each one.
- Beat in the vanilla.
- Reduce mixer to low add 1/2 of the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Pour in the milk & mix.
- Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix well.
- **The batter will look more like frosting than cookie dough.**.
- Put mixer on low or mix by hand the malt balls and the chocolate chips/chunks or whatever you are using. I prefer doing this by hand.
- Drop by rounded teaspoons 2" apart.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, when cookies are done they will be puffed and slightly soft to the touch.
- Let cool for 2 minutes then place on cooling rack.
- Cookies freeze well up to 2 months.
- Enjoy!
