How this recipe came to be:
These cookies areinspired by my dad andit feels really good to be sharing this recipe for Chocolate Malted Chip Cookies with you today. It was duringhis hospital stay shortly after the first of the yearthatI found out had a great fondnessfor chocolate malts. Who knew?
I've been away for a bit. My family needed me (and I needed them)as my dad transitioned into heaven. It's been a very difficult time for all of us, but it's also been a very beautiful time for many reasons. I was fortunate enough to spend a lot of time with my dad before he passed, andwe had some really great conversations early on. As I love to do, I got to bringhim cookies,candies, and as the end neared, his favoredchocolatemalteds.
Why this recipe works:
These Chocolate Malted Chip Cookies arecrispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.They also havea rich chocolate flavor, along with a mild malted milk flavor that makes them very tasty indeed.
I'm proud and pleased to tell you that my dad gave them his complete approval as he gobbled a few down, which,as you can imagine, meant the world to me.
The step-by-step photos:
Cream together the butter and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla.
Whisk the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Slowly blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Add the chocolate chips.
Spoon the batter evenly onto baking sheets and bake in a preheated oven. Cool and enjoy!

Sweet post. Great looking cookies. I used to love malt, but since it's barley, it's not gluten free. sigh Been thinking about you. Kevin's brother's birthday, who passed away from lung cancer in Oct. 2013, was on Monday. A bunch of the family gathered at his grave to release balloons that we each wrote him a note on. When we got to the cemetery, there was a double rainbow over the mountains. You'll find many peaceful messages from your dad. We knew Blaine was there.
Thanks for sharing my post. <3Reply
Renée says
Thank you, Katrina. I believe there is still a connection, and I'm glad you feel that with Kevin's brother too.
