Chocolate Malt Cookies

Curtis's dad loves malts. Like, really loves malts. I'm pretty sure there's always a bucket of ice cream in the freezer and malted milk in the cupboards at the Ryan household. 

So I've made him some malted milk cookies before, but I have to say that recipe didn't turn out as good as this one did. They tasted really good, but they were a little on the soft-side. SO, these ones I think turned out a bit better. And they were quick!

Next time I make these, though...I think I might try putting chunks of malted milk balls in the batter instead of chocolate chips. Sounds good to me!

Ingredients:

• 1 c. butter-flavored Crisco
• 1-1/4 c. brown sugar
• 1/2 c. malted milk powder
• 2 tbsp. chocolate syrup
• 1 tbsp. vanilla
• 1 egg
• 2 c. flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 c. milk chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In large bowl, combine Crisco, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup, and vanilla. Beat well for approximately 2 minutes.
3. Add the egg.
4. In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition.
5. Fold in chocolate chips.
6. Shape into balls and place on baking sheet. Bake for 11 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
