Malted Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have loved malts and malted milk since I was a wee one. These cookies combine the best of a chocolate chip cookie with the depth that only malt can give.

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

¾ cup granulated sugar

¾ cup brown sugar, lightly packed

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups flour

½ cup malted milk powder (I used Carnation® Original flavor)

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with foil. Spray the baking sheets with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again. In another bowl, stir together the flour, malted milk powder, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture slowly into the butter mixture until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.  Bake for about 11-14 minutes (you will be the best judge of how your oven cooks) and remove from oven. Let cool slightly and enjoy with milk!
