Milk Chocolate Cookies

A chocolate cookie dough with the addition of malted milk powder and milk chocolate chips, for a rich chocolate flavor.

Malted milk powder gives these cookies a distinct warm flavor that is rich and creamy.  You can find it in the baking aisle (or online).

This cookie does need to chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or overnight, before baking.  When cookie dough needs to chill before baking, I like making the dough one day and baking the following day.  Splits the work up!

Milk Chocolate Cookies

Print Recipe
Serves: 36 Cookies Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Baker's Extract)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (I used Rodelle)
  • 3/4 cup malted milk powder
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

1

In the bowl of a stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, add the butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.

2

Change the mixer to low speed and add the cocoa powder, malted milk powder, flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch. Mix until just incorporated. Remove the bowl form the mixer and use a rubber scraper to fold in the chocolate chips.

3

Chill dough in the refrigerator for 1-hour or in a covered container overnight (I find it easiest to scoop to cookie dough into cookie dough balls before chilling the dough).

4

Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350-degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Use a medium sized cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets.

5

Bake cookies, one cookie sheet at a time, in 350-degree oven for 10-minutes. Do not over bake. Bake only until the center of the cookies are not raw looking. Allow cookies to set on the cookie sheet for 5-minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Cookies stay fresh for 5-7 days.
