1 1/2 dozen

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
2cupsAll-purpose flour
1teaspoonBaking soda
½teaspoonSalt
1cupButter Flavored Crisco
cupBrown sugar, firmly packed
½cupMalted milk powder
2tablespoonsChocolate syrup
1tablespoonVanilla extract (yes 1 tb)
1largeEgg
cupSemisweet chocolate chips
1cupMilk chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Get out 2 cookie sheets; no need to grease them. Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes, then add the egg and beat for a second or two, until mixed.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing well between additions. Stir in chocolate morsels and chips. I j used Guittard's BIG chocolate morsels and their milk chocolate chips. BTW, these cookies are LOADED with chocolate chips! Shape dough into 2-inch balls. Place 6 balls of dough onto each cookie sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart. The cookies are pretty big, not tiny ones.

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown. Mine took 12 minutes.

Don't over-cook them or they'll be hard as a rock.

Cool on cookie sheets for at least 2 minutes or they'll fall apart.

Cool on wire racks.
