Use fresh malt powder for the best flavor. You can find it online or at some specialty grocery stores.
Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies come together more easily.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
