Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter flavored vegetable shortening
1 1/4 cups brown sugar -- firmly packed
1/2 cup malted milk powder
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350-degrees.

Get out 2 cookie sheets; no need to grease them.

Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the shortening, brown sugar, malted
milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes, then
add the egg and beat for a second or two, until mixed.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing
well between additions. Stir in chocolate morsels and chips. I j
used Guittard's BIG chocolate morsels and their milk chocolate
chips. BTW, these cookies are LOADED with chocolate chips!

Shape dough into 2-inch balls. Place 6 balls of dough onto each
cookie sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart. The cookies are
pretty big, not tiny ones.

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown. Mine took 12
minutes. Don't over-cook them or they'll be hard as a rock.

Cool on cookie sheets for at least 2 minutes or they'll fall
apart. Cool on wire racks.
