Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute dark brown sugar for light brown sugar, and semisweet chocolate chips for bittersweet chocolate chips.

    After reading the comments I doubled the malt (malted milk ovaltine). Made half recipe (8x8), milk chocolate with hazelnuts, and baked for 40min. Got pretty dark, super chewy, crispy exterior, almost caramel-like bottom. Idk if I could taste the malt flavour but 5/5 would make again

    Not malty enough, have yet to find a recipe using only malted milk powder where the malt flavour sticks around after baking. (I used Carnation malted milk powder.)

    I do not like the texture of these. They are way too gooey despite extra cooking time. I only baked about a third of the dough so I might add some flour before baking the remainder. The flavor is fine. Just goopy and greasy.

    Sweet, soft & rich. I saved some chips to sprinkle on top but most got absorbed by the rising dough- as did the sugar & salt. I sprinkled some coarse sugar on when I took it out but I should have used salt. I prefer the chewy edges & found the center too soft. I liked them best when warm- after cooling it got very oily on the bottom so I blotted them on paper towels. I think I’m more of a chocolate chip cookie with nuts person. I think mine were done at 40 minutes but they are a deeper brown then the book’s photo.

    These were easy to make and very good.

    These are rich and gooey. I went ahead and used a full bag of chocolate chips, but I think the amount called for would be just right. Might try with milk chocolate chips next time to see if the malt flavor is more pronounced.
