Yield: 1 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup butter-flavored shortening; 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar; 1/2 cup malted milk powder; 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 1 large egg, room temperature; 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks; 1 cup milk chocolate chips

A variation on the classic favorite, these malted chocolate chip cookies have a little something extra going on.

Ingredients

1 cup butter-flavored shortening

1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar

1/2 cup malted milk powder

2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 large egg, room temperature

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks

1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

1 Cream together the wet ingredients

2 Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, beat the shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla for two minutes. Add the egg.

3 Blend in the dry ingredients

4 In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the brown sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Editor's Tip: One cookie tip from the pros: Resist the urge to mix the dough too much once no dry patches of flour remain. Doing so can lead to tough, dry cookies that lack tenderness.

5 Fold in the chocolate chunks and chips until evenly distributed.

6 Shape the dough into 2-inch balls and place them 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for two minutes on the baking sheets before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
