Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165 grams) packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (270 grams) malted milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup (about 150 grams) speckled robin egg malted milk candies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in the malted milk chocolate chips.
- Carefully fold in the speckled robin egg malted milk candies, being gentle to avoid cracking them too much.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not overbake to avoid scorching the malted milk chocolate. Use softened butter for best texture. Chill dough if kitchen is warm to prevent spreading. Fold in robin egg candies gently to keep them mostly intact. Can substitute gluten-free flour or dairy-free ingredients as needed.
