Malted Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made the most delicious malted milk chocolate chip cookie recipe this past weekend. They are the bomb! My husband took most of them to his job and they devoured them. The secret is using malted milk powder. Yes- it is the same powder used in malted milk shakes, I am not sure what it does to the cookie but it makes them so chewy and yummy. Trust me, this recipe will be one for the books!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

5. Gradually add flour mixture, using lowest speed on mixer or stirring in by hand.
6. Stir in chocolate chips.
