Have you ever thought about making delicious cookies with simple ingredients you likely already have in your pantry? This Chocolate Malt Cookie recipe is the answer! This dessert is perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings and is incredibly easy to whip up. Shall we get started?
Ingredients for Chocolate Malt Cookies:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate malt powder (like Nescau or Ovaltine)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened or chilled
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) to taste
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chocolate malt powder, and baking powder. These are your dry ingredients.
- Add the butter and the lightly beaten egg to the dry mixture. Start by stirring with a spoon, then use your hands to form the dough. The warmth of your hands will help bring the dough together perfectly.
- The dough is ready when it no longer sticks to your hands and has a nice, moist texture.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) and mix well until evenly distributed.
- Shape the dough into balls of your preferred size and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are slightly golden.
- After removing from the oven, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro Tip:
If you prefer crunchier cookies, leave them in the oven for a couple of extra minutes, but always remember to let them cool before removing them from the tray so they don’t break.
