SOFT & THICK MALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Cookie Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup malted milk powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp cornstarch
1 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 cups chocolate chips, (plus 1/2 more cup for pressing into the top of each cookie)
*Note-next time I would only add 1 1/2 cups to the batter but up to you!!!!



Directions:
Melt butter in microwave.  Stir sugar in by hand until combined.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Pour in dry ingredients and stir to combine.  Fold in chips.  Chill until cold-I sped this step up by placing the dough in the freezer!  Scoop out your cookies.  I weighed each cookie to be 1 1/4 ounces.  Add a few chips to fancy up the top and bake at  350° on parchment lined sheets for 11-13 mins.  Cool a few mins on sheets and remove to cooling rack.
