Sometimes I like receiving junk mail. Let me explain I preview a lot of cookbooks and they send me all sorts of offers...some are tempting others I send back. I found this recipe on one of those flyer's you know which one I am talking about....the one that is a little blurred with size 2 font? Well, I am a master optician....
Anyways, you have to make these !! Right now! I made the dough one evening and put the dough in the refrigerator and made them several days later. Oh my goodness, they were just delicious....they hit the spot.
The recipe calls for semisweet chocolate and milk chocolate but I thought the dough would be sweet enough so I went BOLD and used bittersweet chocolate. HEAVEN....I'm Amazing....uhmmm...I mean the cookies were just AMAZING!! ;)Ingredients:
1 cup butter-flavor shortening
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup malted milk powder ( I used ovaltine)
2 TBS chocolate syrup
1 TBS vanilla extract
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks
1 cup milk chocolate chips
( I omitted both kinds of chocolate chips and used Ghiradelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate)
* In a large bowl, beat the shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla 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-in balls; place 3 in apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden (mine only took 10 minutes). Cool for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
Prep/total time: 30 min Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.
