2011 Cookie Challenge: Malted Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love chocolate malts!  So I thought it would be fun to make a cookie with those types of flavors.  Well, I wasn't really impressed with this cookie - so far it was my least favorite.  It was flat, more crispy than chewy and I much prefer chewy cookies to crispy.  The malt flavor wasn't very noticeable.  So it was okay, doubt I would make these again.

Ingredients

3 c flour

1 c plain malted milk powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 c white granulated sugar

1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed

1 c butter, softened

2 large eggs

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk

2 c milk chocolate chips

Cookie Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl combine flour, malted milk powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well and set aside.

2. Cream sugars and butter in large bowl of electric mixer using medium speed. Add eggs, vanilla and sweetened condensed milk, and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.

3. Stir in flour mixture and then chocolate chips until just combined. Do not overmix.

4. Form 1 1/4-inch balls and place onto an un-greased cookie sheet, about 2-inches apart. Bake for approximately 10 minutes, until cookies are slightly brown along the edges. Let cool on a cookie sheet for 3 minutes before removing to cooking rack.
