For the past week, I’ve spent minimal time in the kitchen. Whatever virus I had completely killed my appetite.
So when I was ravenous yesterday, what was one of the first things I did when I got back into the kitchen? Experiment with my new malted milk powder, of course!
If you don’t have any malted milk powder, no worries. These cookies will still be chewy and buttery and melt-in-your-mouth.
Malted Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes about 5 dozen
Adapted from In the Sweet Kitchen
Cookies!
1/2 cup salted butter, softened
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cuppacked brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup malted milk powder
2 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
Preheat the oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat the butter, oil and sugars together until fluffy and creamy. Stir in the malted milk powder and eggs. Add the vanilla, baking soda and salt, mixing until blended.
Slowly mix in the flour, beating until the dough is smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, and space 1 1/2-2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are only lightly browned. Careful! Let them get too browned, and the cookies will lose their chewy deliciousness!
And if you really want to get crazy, drizzle the cookies with a malted chocolate sauce! The cookies alone are amazing. The cookies with the chocolate sauce? Out-of-this-world!
Malted Chocolate Sauce
1/2 cup chopped semisweet chocolate 1/2 cup milk 1/3 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate with the rest of the ingredients. Stir continually, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Using a spoon, drizzle a stream of chocolate over all the cookies. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before consuming.
Savvy Tip: Have leftover sauce? It makes a delicious fruit dip!

They look great – especially with that drizzle – yum
Oh, but whatever to do with malted milk powder:
-Smoothies
-Brownies (possibly as cream cheese swirl bearing the malted powder)
-Truffles (mix it with cocoa and use it as the exterior coating)
-Cheesecake
-Frosting for cookies
-Maybe in a pie of some sort – apple? pear?
I’ll stop now
I want that malted chocolate sauce!
It’s hard to beat the classic chocolate chip cookie, but anything malted immediately grabs my attention. These sound great, and what can be better than cookies topped with more chocolate?!
Wow, that malted chocolate sauce just took that cookie to a whole different level! Yum!!
As comment luv shows, I just blogged these cookies today
Aren’t they so soft and flavoursome?
