CHOCOLATE MALTED COOKIES

Chocolate Malted Cookies image

These cookies are the next best thing to a good old-fashioned malted milk. With malted milk powder, chocolate syrup, plus chocolate chips and chunks, these are the best cookies I've ever tasted...and with six kids, I've made a lot of cookies over the years! -Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan
