Malted Chocolate Chip Whopper Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe mixes dry ingredients including malted milk powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt to build flavor and structure. Creaming butter with brown and granulated sugars produces a smooth, creamy base before adding egg and vanilla extract for moisture and flavor. Dry ingredients are blended in slowly to avoid overmixing, and then chocolate chips and chopped malted milk balls incorporate crunchy, chocolatey pockets.
Scooping tablespoon-sized dough balls spaced apart on lined baking sheets allows cookies to spread modestly. Baking at 350°F for about 10 minutes produces cookies with slightly golden edges and soft centers. Cooling on sheets briefly before transferring to racks helps cookies set while maintaining chewiness.
The malted milk powder adds a distinctive flavor often found in malt beverages and candies, enhancing the taste profile beyond a typical chocolate chip cookie. Using chopped malted milk balls imparts additional texture and sweetness, making these cookies distinct.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup malted milk powder
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 3/4 cup butter at room temperature, unsalted
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 cup Whoppers candies or any malted milk balls, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, malted milk powder, cornstarch, baking soda and sea salt together. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugars until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and malted milk balls. Form cookie dough into tablespoon balls and place on prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies for 10 minutes, or until slightly golden brown around the edges. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for two minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.
- Note-you can find malted milk powder at most grocery stores by the chocolate milk and instant breakfast powders.
