Malted Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 reviews / 5 average

So, you know, I’m working on this little book.

And I need things to photograph.

So I stuffed a vanilla malt into a chocolate chip cookie and poured myself a glass of milk.

Suddenly I found myself elbow deep in this buttery, crumbly, malt-y, weird looking but seriously wonderful dough. And then I ate a few dozen half-baked malt cookies. Hmm? Book? Oh yeah, that.

But seriously.

Just to clarify a few things, the recipe calls for one cup of Crisco. No substitutions.

There are two types of chocolate chips. Not optional.

And don’t get out your whole wheat flour, okay? I’m sorry, but come on. Just don’t do it. Not this time.

One more thing. This is vanilla malt flavor inside a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie, and for that reason it’s not the kind of recipe you want to mess around with.

This is, however, the kind of recipe you want to stash away in the vegetable drawer for a munchie sort of Wednesday night. So get your Crisco and go. Three two one go. Do it now, five four three two, four three two one. Go. Now.

    Can I write a book with you? Iโ€™ll just do the cookie-making/eating part, you do the writing. Really, itโ€™s ok. Iโ€™ll make the sacrifice. And Iโ€™m thinking that in this โ€œeat more veggies in the New Yearโ€ craze, Iโ€™m going to say Crisco is a veggie. Yeah, thatโ€™s right. Itโ€™s vegetable fat. Iโ€™m going to get my spoon.

      Ha! I just re-read that (I came back looking for your orange glazed muffin recipe โ€“ on the menu for this weekend), I realized I said I would โ€œmakeโ€, you would write โ€“ actually, what I meant was, you can make/write/photograph, Iโ€™ll eat. ๐Ÿ™‚

    you know whatโ€™s randomโ€ฆNEVER in my adult life have i bought Crisco, ever.

    Until 2 days ago.

    I keep seeing recipes that call for it withโ€ฆcookies. Add yours to the list. I will be trying it now!

    1. Pinch of Yum Logo

      I donโ€™t use Crisco a whole lot when baking, but after having these cookiesโ€ฆ itโ€™s worth keeping some on hand!

      I know โ€“ someone recently introduced me to dumping spoonfuls of malt powder over ice cream (but not blending). So so good!

  3. Pinch of Yum Logo

    That big bowl of chocolate chunk filled cookie dough is killing me! Iโ€™ll take that and a spoon!

  4. Pinch of Yum Logo

    How about throwing in a few of these into my birthday present as well?! They look awesome!

      Coming right up! ๐Ÿ™‚ Iโ€™ll just have to tell Bjork not to eat all the dough first.

      I was totally joking about the no substitutions โ€“ I just didnโ€™t want people to go trying to make them healthy or anything. ๐Ÿ™‚ Do you have something comparable to vegetable shortening? Crisco is just shortening. For this recipe I used a butter flavored kind, and that might be harder to find, but you could try it with regular shortening or just butter!

    If I got treats like this I might be able to find more time for 4th graders! ๐Ÿ˜‰ (Mostly kidding)

      We kept some of the rolled cookie dough balls in the fridge for โ€œsnackingโ€. They were yummy. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Me too! I love using chips of different shapes/sizes. I just love using chocolate in general I guess. ๐Ÿ™‚
