Chocolate Malted Cookies

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: about 1-1/2 dozen.
These cookies are the next best thing to a good old-fashioned malted milk. With malted milk powder, chocolate syrup, and 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
