These cookies are the next best thing to a good old-fashioned malted milk. With malted milk powder, chocolate syrup, plus chocolate chips and chunks, these are the best cookies I've ever tasted…and with six kids, I've made a lot of cookies over the years! —Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan

These are really good. Very chocolatey but not that different from regular chocolate chip cookies. I couldn't even taste the malted milk powder and I that was the reason I wanted to make this because I love the taste of malted milk. Maybe it was overwhelmed by all the chocolate. I would just as soon make my regular tollhouse cookies.

I have fun making these since everyone always loves them. They don't last long!

I took advice from previous raters and used butter instead of shortening. I also increased the malt to 1 full cup and added 1/2 c more flour. These are majorly delicious!

love, love, love these cookies. I took these cookies to a bbq. A bucnh of young Marines were in attendence. They were gone in about 2 min and was asked several times if there were more.

I am shocked to see all the positive reviews. I have been baking for many years and am experienced in the kitchen. I followed the recipe as printed and they turned out TERRIBLE. The cookies look beautiful baking but as soon as they sit on the cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes they fall FLAT as a pancake. The picture for this recipe looks NOTHING like the final result. I am so disappointed. I read a few other reviews that said their cookies were flat as well. For being a prize-winning recipe, I would expect much better. The taste is ok, but nothing that is extremely unique. I will not make this recipe again based on appearance. They almost look like a "crisp" cookie, not like the one pictured! Something has to be incorrect in the ingredient list.

Have been making this recipe for the last couple of years and we love it! I use regular shortening and add about 1/2 tsp of butter flavoring. I also add an extra 1/2 cup of flour, but I add extra flour to most cookie recipes. I just use whatever type of chocolate chips or chunks I have in the cupboard. :)

These are definitely very good, some I could taste a lot of malt other's I couldn't so much, maybe more malt next time. I added an extra 1/2 cup of flour so they wouldn't go flat and I only baked mine for 8 minutes.... after 2 batches I dropped the temp to 350 and they came out perfect. Weren't bad at 375, just too crunchy for my liking. I think next time I will use my regular chocolate chip cookie recipe and just add the extra ingredients to it... I am not a big fan of the texture shortening gives to cookies. I like using I Can't believe it's not butter baking sticks.

These were good, but they just tasted like normal chocolate chip cookies to me. Of course, that is a good thing, but if I had to buy malt just for these, they probably wouldn't be worth it.

I've been making these cookies for over 3 years now and they are my all time favorite. They have definitely replaced plain chocolate chip cookies. They stay chewy and delicious but don't last long around my house especially when the grand kiddos are around!
