Malted Cookies

Submitted by fawn512

"I've been searching for malt flavored cookies without any chocolate syrup in the recipe. And I found these from cooks.com. They tasted like chocolate chip cookies, these are very soft and chewy. Don't forget to chill, or if you don't have time, freeze the dough, for they'll turn flat if not chilled."

Good cookies but true - they don't taste very malty - more like plain old chocolate chips cookies, although there is a bit of a malty aftertaste. I think next time I'd try adding a little more malt powder - can't hurt! But no complaints here - they're being eaten! Thanks.
