MALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

This is a great Pioneer Woman recipe! The cookies stay moist and chewy.

Ingredients:

1 C butter, softened (2 sticks)

3/4 C. light brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 C. malted milk powder

2 C all-purpose flour

1 1/4 tsp. baking soda

1 1/4 tsp. salt

1 bag (12 oz.) milk chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cream butter and sugars, then add eggs, vanilla and malted milk until combined. Sift or mix together flour, baking soda and salt. Add to mixture, stirring with wooden spoon until just combined. Add chocolate chips and stir in gently.

Drop by spoonful onto cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes (these will flatten out, so give them plenty of room).
