Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 1 whole large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 60 grams malted milk powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 85 grams milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, malted milk powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the malted chocolate drops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
