sticky, chewy and malty!



i love chewy cookies.
i loathe sandwich joints that give me hard crispy cookies.

they don't compliment my meal at all. after eating hearty sandwich, you want to rest and sweeten up, taste sugar and let your teeth sink into soft, chewy goodness.

on to the next note, i love Pioneer Woman's malted milk cookies. I made them once before and they were absolutely lovely. chocolatey and smooth, but they had the potential to be so much more. i aimed to have them melt in your mouth, must-have-seconds good.

so here it is, the cookies that were snapped up in record time in the office (where all my lovely test subjects as well as hardcore reviewers are) - Sticky Chewy Malted Milk Cookies - adapted from the pioneer woman herself!





Ingredients
(makes 20 - 30 mid sized cookies)
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 sticks (approx 250g) of fat spread (TRUST.) - room temperature
  • 2 teapoons of Vanilla extract
  • 2 large whole eggs
  • 1 cup of chocolate malted milk powder, packed
  • 2 cups of all purpose or plain flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt
  • 170grams of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Down with the dirty

Preheat your oven to 375˚F or 180˚C

Mix butter and two sugars till you get a creamy consistency.

Add eggs and combine then add vanilla and mix till combine.

Add malted milk powder, mix to combine and leave aside.

Sift your flour, salt and baking powder together.

Add in dry ingredients mix to wet ingredients in 3 batches, mixing in between.

Once everything is a nice light chocolate brown paste, stir in chocolate chips and even it out in the mixture.

Drop a dollap of the mixture onto a greased baking pan. Leave about 2 inches or space inbetween each dollap. the cookies expand quite large.

Bake for 10 minutes if you like them super soft and crumbly and up to 12 minutes if you like them crispy on the edges and soft in the middle.

cool cookies for about 10 minutes and then DEVOUR!
