Chocolate Malted Cookies

Ingredients

1 c butter-flavored shortening
1 1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c malted milk powder
2 tb chocolate syrup
1 tb vanilla extract
1 egg
2 c all purpose flour
1 ts baking soda
1/2 ts salt
1 1/2 c semisweet chocolate chunks
6 oz milk chocolate chips

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the first five ingredients; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chunks and chips. Shape into 2-inch balls; place 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375=B0F for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 2 minutes before reoming to a wire rack. Makes about 1-1/2 dozen. (For best results, do NOT use Air-Bake insulated cookie sheets. When using a 1-inch cookie scoop, recipe makes about 5 dozen cookies.) ----
