Chocolate Malted Cookies

Soft and chewy, chocolate-y good-y!  These are easy, doesn't make a huge batch, and are super tasty...9.5/10.  Only drawback is that you really need to use parchment paper when baking them (which is not indicated in original recipe).  When I took out the first batch, despite being on a nonstick sheet, it took a bit of scrape/nudging to get the cookies off.  Went much better once I used parchment.

Ingredients:

2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. brown sugar (packed)
6 T. malted milk powder (regular or chocolate; I went with regular)
5 T. unsalted butter, softened
3 T. chocolate syrup
1 T. vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 c. milk chocolate morsels
1/2 c. semisweet mini morsels

Instructions:

1. Line cookie sheets with parchment and set aside.  Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

2. Heat oven to 350°F.

3. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or other electric mixer), beat together brown sugar, malted milk powder, butter, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.

4. Gradually add/mix in dry ingredients until just combined. (I used a wooden spoon after letting mixer do most of the work)

5. With a wooden spoon, stir in both types of morsels together.

6. Use a cookie scoop (or spoons) to drop rounded tablespoon-sized balls onto parchment, 2" apart.  Bake for 10 min. (pix are from first batch, thus no parchment yet (see note at top of post))

7. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.  Enjoy!
