Malted Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe GLPRdf5b7bf89d3460
Rich and indulgent malted chocolate cookies loaded with both milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chunks. The malted milk powder adds a subtle depth of flavor, while the slight underbaking keeps the centers soft and chewy. These cookies deliver the perfect combination of crispy edges and tender, gooey centers.

Ingredients
1 cup butter flavored Crisco
1¼ cups packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup malted milk powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and chocolate syrup. Beat the mixture for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the egg to the creamed mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, malted milk powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring well after each addition to combine thoroughly.
Fold in the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the dough into 2-inch balls and arrange on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes until chilled.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the cookies for 8 to 12 minutes. They are done when the edges are set and lightly golden, but the centers remain slightly underbaked and puffy. Remove from the oven while still soft in the middle for the best chewy texture.
Comments
Malted milk powder is the one ingredient that forces a special stop—Harris Teeter carries it in the baking aisle, but Food Lion and ALDI do not stock it reliably, so budget that second trip if you shop elsewhere. At roughly 60 cents per cookie, the cost is fair for a treat built on shortening and two types of chocolate; the malted powder itself adds a few dollars to the total. The stated 50 minutes is honest for mixing and baking, though setting a timer matters because malted cookies brown quickly and can turn hard if overbaked. These hold and ship well, reheat perfectly in a low oven, and work for a crowd, making them a genuine weeknight-into-weekend option rather than fussy or precious.
