Malted chocolate chip cookies or Bournvita cookies

Delicious malted chocolate chip cookies packed with Bournvita and lots of chocolate chunks !

Ingredients
  

  • 85 grams or 6 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 130 grams or 2/3 cup granulated or castor sugar
  • 2 egg yolks at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 120 grams or 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons bournvita or chocolate malt powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 150 grams or about 3/4 cup dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180 C / 350 F . Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease well.
  • Chop up your chocolate into small bits and keep aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour , malt powder ( bournvita ) , baking soda and salt. Keep aside.
  • In a mixing bowl , using a electric beater or wooden spoon , beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the yolks and beat well until incorporated .
  • Beat in the vanilla .
  • Add the dry ingredient mixture and mix until a dough forms.
  • Mix in the chocolate chips. Scrape up all the bits sticking to your chopping surface and mix it in too for the tiny flecks of chocolate !
  • Divide the dough into balls ( about a tablespoon full of cookie dough each ) . You should be able to make 28 to 30 balls.
  • Place the dough balls on the prepared sheet , well spaced out as they will expand ! You will need to bake the cookies in batches.
  • Bake at 180 C / 350 F for 16 to 18 minutes. If using a convection oven , take out the cookie sheet after 10 minutes and put it back in the other way round ( earlier front side towards the back now ).
  • Remove from oven and let cool on the sheet itself for about 5 minutes and then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely !
