How to Make All Grown Up Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup golden syrup until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons malted milk powder, and 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or bittersweet recommended).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 3 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Carefully transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing cookies from the parchment paper.
  10. Let cool completely on the wire rack before serving and enjoying!
