MALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter until fluffy. Add the sugars and cream with the butter. The mixture will look a bit grainy. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat together until fluffy. Add the malt powder and mix at low speed just until combined. One-third at a time, add the flour mixture, beating after each addition just until combined. Gently mix in the chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoons onto the baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your cookies. The cookies will be flat. Let cool on wire racks and store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- For the chocolate malted shakes: Put ice cream, milk and malted milk powder in a blender and blend until combined, but still thick. (If your blender isn't big enough to handle 1 quart of ice cream, blend in batches.)
- For the whipped cream: Combine cream, granulated sugar and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on medium speed until it reaches medium peaks.
- Pour the blended malt into 4 to 6 tall glasses, top with whipped cream, then tear Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies in half and place one half on top of the whipped cream in each glass.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Cream the butter with both sugars in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla and beat well. Mix in 1/3 cup room temperature water. Mix in the flour mixture until well combined, then stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough into balls slightly smaller than a golf ball and place on the lined baking sheet. (Cookies can be placed close together since you are only freezing them right now.) Chill the cookies in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take the cookies off the frozen baking sheet and place them at least 3 inches apart on the new sheet. Let them warm up just enough so you can squish them. Pressing with your palm or the flat bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie to about 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake until kinda dark golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

OLD-FASHIONED CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA MALTED
The Walgreen drugstore chain popularized this soda-fountain drink in the 1930s under the name "Horlick's Malted Milk". You can make this warm-weather favorite with either whole milk and ice cream or low-fat milk and frozen yogurt. For adults, toss a shot of Kahlua or brandy into the blender for a tasty treat.

Steps:
- Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat it to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Whisk the flour, malt powder, and baking powder together.
- Working with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter, both sugars, espresso, and salt together on medium speed until well blended, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, return to medium speed and, one by one, beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla, beating for 1 minute after each goes in. Turn off the mixer, add the dry ingredients all at once and pulse, just to begin incorporating the flour and malt powder. When the risk of flying flour is passed, mix on low speed only until the dry ingredients disappear into the dough. You'll have a rather crumbly dough, but that's fine. Give the dough a few last turns with a sturdy flexible spatula and then reach in, knead if necessary and gather the dough into a ball.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out level portions of dough, or use a teaspoon to get rounded spoonfuls. Roll the dough into balls and place them an inch apart on the lined baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 14 minutes, rotating the baking sheets top to bottom and front to back after 8 minutes. The cookies will be soft and golden only around the edges; they won't look done, and they're not-they'll firm as they cool. Transfer the sheets to racks and then, after about 10 minutes, carefully lift the cookies onto the racks to cool completely.
- Do Ahead
- Packed in a tightly covered container, the cookies will keep for up to 3 days (after that, they get firmer and are perfect for dunking...in coffee, of course). Wrapped airtight, they can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the malted milk. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Use malted milk powder. This is what gives the malted milk its signature flavor. You can find it in the baking aisle of most grocery stores.
- Make sure your milk is cold. The colder the milk, the better the malted milk will be.
- Use a blender. This is the best way to get a smooth and creamy malted milk.
- Don't overmix. Overmixing can make the malted milk too thick.
- Serve immediately. Malted milk is best enjoyed fresh.
Conclusion:
Chocolate malted milks are a delicious and refreshing treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a hot summer day or a cold winter night. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make a chocolate malted milk at home. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
