~Recipe Notes:

*The malted milk cuts the sweetness of these a bit, if you are in the 'I don't like malt' camp, you'll still like these. We swear. The flavor just adds a bit of something extra.

**You could make these without the cornstarch for sure, but it helps with the texture, keeping the cookies puffy and chewy but not cakey.

***Be careful not to crush the cookies to powder keep them in big chunks. (Picture # 3 for reference).
