How to Make Malted Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup malted milk powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, and 2 large eggs until well combined and pale.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips (or chunks).
  7. Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 2 hours, or freeze for up to 2 months. (Chilling prevents flat cookies!)
  8. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) while the dough chills.
  9. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
