Chocolate Malted Cookies


cookies

2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter flavored crisco
1 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup malted milk powder
2 tablespoon chocolate syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (yes 1 tb)
1 large egg
1 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Get out 2 cookie sheets; no need to grease them. Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes, then add the egg and beat for a second or two, until mixed. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing well between additions. Stir in chocolate morsels and chips. I j used Guittard's BIG chocolate morsels and their milk chocolate chips. BTW, these cookies are LOADED with chocolate chips! Shape dough into 2-inch balls. Place 6 balls of dough onto each cookie sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart. The cookies are pretty big, not tiny ones. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown. Mine took 12 minutes. Don't over-cook them or they'll be hard as a rock. Cool on cookie sheets for at least 2 minutes or they'll fall apart. Cool on wire racks.
