COFFEE MALTEDS



Coffee Malteds image

These malted milk powder and coffee cookies bring back memories. Use ground espresso beans and unflavored malt powder.

Provided by Dorie Greenspan

Categories     Cookies     Bake     Milk/Cream     Coffee

Yield Makes about 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unflavored malted milk powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into chunks, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground coffee, preferably from espresso beans (or use instant or powdered coffee or espresso)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat it to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Whisk the flour, malt powder, and baking powder together.
  • Working with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter, both sugars, espresso, and salt together on medium speed until well blended, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, return to medium speed and, one by one, beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla, beating for 1 minute after each goes in. Turn off the mixer, add the dry ingredients all at once and pulse, just to begin incorporating the flour and malt powder. When the risk of flying flour is passed, mix on low speed only until the dry ingredients disappear into the dough. You'll have a rather crumbly dough, but that's fine. Give the dough a few last turns with a sturdy flexible spatula and then reach in, knead if necessary and gather the dough into a ball.
  • Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out level portions of dough, or use a teaspoon to get rounded spoonfuls. Roll the dough into balls and place them an inch apart on the lined baking sheets.
  • Bake the cookies for 14 minutes, rotating the baking sheets top to bottom and front to back after 8 minutes. The cookies will be soft and golden only around the edges; they won't look done, and they're not-they'll firm as they cool. Transfer the sheets to racks and then, after about 10 minutes, carefully lift the cookies onto the racks to cool completely.
  • Do Ahead
  • Packed in a tightly covered container, the cookies will keep for up to 3 days (after that, they get firmer and are perfect for dunking...in coffee, of course). Wrapped airtight, they can be frozen for up to 2 months.

MALTED COOKIES



Malted Cookies image

I've been searching for malt flavored cookies without any chocolate syrup in the recipe. And I found these from cooks.com. They tasted like chocolate chip cookies, these are very soft and chewy. Don't forget to chill, or if you don't have time, freeze the dough, for they'll turn flat if not chilled.

MALTED VANILLA MILKSHAKE



Malted Vanilla Milkshake image

Classic, diner-style malted milkshakes are a retro treat easy to whip up at home. Malted milk powder can be easily found in the dried milk or ice cream section of most grocery stores and gives the milkshake a creamy richness and caramel-like flavor. If you've never used malted milk powder before this is the perfect recipe to try it out. A dollop of fresh whipped cream caps off the treat while a cherry on top finishes the iconic look.

Categories     dessert

Time 5m

Yield 1 large 16-ounce milkshake or 2 smaller 8-ounce milkshakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup very cold heavy cream
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup malted milk powder
1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
Maraschino cherry, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Chill one 16-ounce serving glass (or two 8-ounce serving glasses) in the freezer.
  • For the whipped cream: Combine the heavy cream and sugar in a large, deep bowl. Whisk vigorously by hand until soft peaks form, 30 to 60 seconds. Set aside.
  • For the milkshake: Blend the milk and malted milk powder in a blender on high speed until the malted milk powder dissolves, 15 to 20 seconds. Add the vanilla ice cream and blend on high until creamy and thick, pushing the mixture down as needed, 20 to 25 seconds.
  • Pour the milkshake into the chilled glass and top with the whipped cream. Garnish with a maraschino cherry if using and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for the best flavor.
  • Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be chewy and flavorful.
  • 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 to hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them.

Conclusion:

Vanilla malted cookies are a classic American cookie that is loved by people of all ages. They are soft, chewy, and flavorful, with a hint of malt that adds a unique twist. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party.
