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 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!

These are my family's favorite cookies. I was surprised to find the negative reviews here. The funny thing, though, is that it is the only cookie recipe where the dough isn't as good or better than the baked cookie! They are expensive to make, as has been mentioned before, and they do generally come out somewhat flat, but the flavor is out of this world!

I am preparing to make this recipe but plan to cream butter rather than shortening and brown sugar and bring butter close to room temp and beat butter first to get air in the ingredients. That should make those cookies rise up and not be flat. Just a thought to those flat cookies.

Made this cookie last night, turned out great. I didn't have butter flavored shortening, so I used 3/4 cup white shortening plus 1/4 cup butter. Yes, the vanilla amount is correct. I find the 375 temp too high, but they turned out great at 350. I formed some of them into balls as the directions said, and dropped some of them by teaspoons full, and found little difference in outcome, so I do the quicker drop method.

Love these cookies!!! Never had a problem with them not turning out. Always good! I make them all the time and they are always the same.

The oven seemed too hot, there wasn't enough flour to make the dough stick together properly. I'm wondering if there were misprints in the recipe.
