Chocolate Malt Cookies

1 cup butter-flavored shortening (I've used 1 cup margarine since I didn't have any shortening on hand.)

1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar

1/2 cup malted milk powder

2 T. chocolate syrup

1 T. vanilla

1 egg

2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks

1 cup milk chocolate chips

In a large mixing bowl, beat the shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla for 2 minutes. Add egg.

Add the flour, baking soda, and salt; mixing well. Stir in chocolate chunks and chips. Shape into 2-inch balls; place 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake at 375 degrees for 12 - 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
