Malted Cookies Food

MALTY CHOC CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugars in a bowl until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
• Add the flour, malted milk drink powder, baking powder and a good pinch of salt, then stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a dough. Tip out onto the work surface and gently knead in the chocolate. Divide the mixture into 20 pieces, roughly the size of a whole walnut. Roll each piece into a ball and place on the baking trays, leaving plenty of room for the cookies to spread. Flatten each ball slightly with your hand.
• Bake for 10-12 mins until starting to turn golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven, leave on the baking tray for 5 mins to cool slightly then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep in a cake tin or cookie jar for up to 5 days.

VANILLA MALTED COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, malted-milk powder, baking powder, and salt.
• With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and cream cheese until creamy. Mix in sugar and vanilla seeds (reserve pod for another use). Add egg and vanilla extract, and combine. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture and mix to combine.
• Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (such as Ateco #825). Pipe 2 1/2-inch strips onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
• Bake until bottom edges are golden brown, 11 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 1 week.

MALTED MILK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cream the butter, then add both sugars and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs and beat slightly, then add the vanilla and beat until combined. Add the malted milk powder and beat until combined.
• In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the butter mixture, beating gently until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir in gently.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls (or use a cookie scoop) on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between the cookies (they spread out quite a bit). Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The cookies will be very flat and very chewy. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan with a spatula.
• Optional: Allow to cool completely, then use 2 cookies to make an ice cream sandwich. Add sprinkles to the sides of the ice cream, then wrap individually in plastic wrap.

COFFEE MALTEDS

Steps:

• Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat it to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Whisk the flour, malt powder, and baking powder together.
• Working with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter, both sugars, espresso, and salt together on medium speed until well blended, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, return to medium speed and, one by one, beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla, beating for 1 minute after each goes in. Turn off the mixer, add the dry ingredients all at once and pulse, just to begin incorporating the flour and malt powder. When the risk of flying flour is passed, mix on low speed only until the dry ingredients disappear into the dough. You'll have a rather crumbly dough, but that's fine. Give the dough a few last turns with a sturdy flexible spatula and then reach in, knead if necessary and gather the dough into a ball.
• Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out level portions of dough, or use a teaspoon to get rounded spoonfuls. Roll the dough into balls and place them an inch apart on the lined baking sheets.
• Bake the cookies for 14 minutes, rotating the baking sheets top to bottom and front to back after 8 minutes. The cookies will be soft and golden only around the edges; they won't look done, and they're not-they'll firm as they cool. Transfer the sheets to racks and then, after about 10 minutes, carefully lift the cookies onto the racks to cool completely.
• Do Ahead
• Packed in a tightly covered container, the cookies will keep for up to 3 days (after that, they get firmer and are perfect for dunking...in coffee, of course). Wrapped airtight, they can be frozen for up to 2 months.

FROSTED MALT-CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Pulse 6 oz. chocolate wafers in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Pulse brown sugar, cocoa powder, malted milk powder, baking powder, kosher salt, and 2 cups flour in food processor several times to combine. Add butter and pulse until pieces are broken up into bits no larger than a pea. Add to bowl with chocolate and toss to combine.
• Stir vanilla and 2/3 cup cream in a measuring glass to combine, then slowly drizzle over chocolate mixture, mixing with a fork all the while. Mixture will look dry once you've added all the cream. Knead dough a few times in the bowl (it will not come together and will look crumbly), then transfer to a large piece of plastic wrap. Bring the edges of plastic up and over dough and press down to incorporate floury parts, then wrap tightly. Use the heel of your hand to press down firmly on the dough, forcing it to tightly fill out the plastic. This will help the dough adhere into a single mass and help the flour hydrate. Chill dough until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of floured parchment paper to 3/4" thick (you might not have to roll it very much). Punch out rounds with cookie cutter as close together as possible. Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze 10 minutes.
• Bake biscuits, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until firm to the touch around the edges, 13-18 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, heat corn syrup, remaining 4 oz. chocolate, and remaining 1/2 cup cream in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (bowl should not be touching the water), stirring often, until chocolate is melted and mixture is completely smooth. Set bowl with frosting into a large bowl of ice water and let cool, stirring occasionally, until thickened but still pourable and shiny. Spoon a scant tablespoonful of frosting onto each biscuit; sprinkle with sea salt.
• Do Ahead
• Dough can be made 1 day ahead; keep chilled. Biscuits (without frosting) can be baked 2 days ahead; store airtight at room temperature.

MALTED OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Do not preheat the oven yet. This cookie dough needs to rest for at least two hours before baking.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and both sugars on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl in between each egg. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is airy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, malted milk powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three increments, mixing the dough until just combined.
• In a food processor, process the oatmeal and toasted walnuts until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add to dough and stir until just combined.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Overnight is even better.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Using a large cookie scoop (about 2 Tablespoon capacity), make individual dough balls and place on the baking sheet two inches apart. Top with Maldon sea salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cookies are golden brown. Let cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes, then place on cooling racks to cool completely.

VANILLA MALTED COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Whisk together flour, malted-milk powder, baking powder and salt.
• With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and cream cheese until creamy. Mix in sugar and vanilla seeds. Add egg and vanilla extract and combine. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture and mix to combine.
• Use a cookie press with desired shape, spacing 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment. Bake until bottom edges are golden brown, 11 to 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
• Vanilla beans are expensive. In place of a vanilla bean, you can add an extra 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

MALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter until fluffy. Add the sugars and cream with the butter. The mixture will look a bit grainy. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat together until fluffy. Add the malt powder and mix at low speed just until combined. One-third at a time, add the flour mixture, beating after each addition just until combined. Gently mix in the chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoons onto the baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your cookies. The cookies will be flat. Let cool on wire racks and store in an airtight container.

MALTED "FOREVER" BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Arrange an oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 × 8-inch pan with 2 sheets of foil, crossing one over the other and pressing the foil into the corners and up the sides. Lightly butter the foil and set aside.
• Bloom the cocoa: In a large heatproof bowl, whisk the cocoa powder and ¼ cup boiling water (4 oz / 113g) until smooth (this will bring out the flavor of the cocoa).
• Melt the chocolate, butter, and oil: Add the semisweet chocolate, butter, and oil to the bowl with the cocoa mixture and set it over a medium saucepan filled with about 1 inch of simmering (not boiling) water (make sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water). Warm the mixture gently, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let cool until lukewarm.
• Add the sugars and egg: Whisk the granulated and brown sugars into the chocolate mixture. It will look grainy and you might see some of the fat start to separate from the rest of the mixture, which is normal. Add the whole egg, egg yolks, and vanilla and whisk vigorously until the mixture comes back together and looks very thick, smooth, and glossy.
• Add the dry ingredients: Add the flour, malted milk powder (if using), and salt and whisk slowly until everything is combined, then whisk more vigorously until the batter is very thick, a full 45 seconds.
• Fold in the chocolate and bake: Add the milk chocolate to the batter and fold with a flexible spatula to distribute. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading in an even layer all the way to the corners.
• Bake the brownies until the surface is shiny and puffed and the center is dry to the touch but still soft when pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Cool, chill, and cut: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan until they are no longer hot, about 1 hour, then refrigerate until the bottom of the pan feels cold, about 1 hour longer (this results in a chewier texture). Use the ends of the foil to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Slice the brownies into 16 squares.

MALTED SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, malted milk powder and baking powder in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 2 batches and beat until just incorporated. Divide the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; shape each into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or overnight.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1 disk at a time, roll out the dough on a floured surface until 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies with 2- to 3-inch cookie cutters; arrange about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Reroll the scraps once and cut out more cookies. Freeze until firm, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Make the royal icing: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and meringue powder in a large bowl. Add 5 tablespoons water; beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft glossy peaks form, adding up to 1 more tablespoon water if necessary. Tint as desired with food coloring. Spread or pipe on the cookies. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Let set, 1 hour. Go to page 242 for decorating tips.

MALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare sheet pans with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, use hand held mixer to cream butter and sugars together. Mix on low speed until just combined. Then increase to medium speed and mix until pale and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Be careful not to overmix!
• Add flour, malted milk powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed until fully combined, about 30-60 seconds.
• Switch to a rubber spatula and add chocolate chunks. Mix until well combined. Use either a medium cookie scoop or 1 (rounded) Tablespoon to scoop onto parchment lined sheet pan. Make sure there's enough space in between, as the cookies do spread out. Bake until browned on the edges and puffy in the middle, about 8-10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. The residual heat will help the salt stick to the cookies. Cool on sheet pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Eat warm or room temperature. Enjoy!
