Milo Choco Crunch Cookies

This is another favorite cookie of mine which I developed over three baking sessions. It may not be that original as I am sure there are other bakers who have baked something like this but I will call it my own since I made this by chucking stuff into the dough and making adjustments as I went along. 

My partner asked me to bake another batch of cookies for his sister. So I obliged.

I stuck to the tried and tested, one batch of Cranberry Butter Cookies and one improved batch of this Milo Choco Crunch Cookies.

I used dark chocolate chips to enhance the flavors.

I tried my best to make the cookies small and dainty and yet packed with chocolate chips.

But they kept getting bigger and bigger hah..hah...hah...

The cookie dough contains Milo, I used two sachets of these Milo 3-in-1 drink mix.

There is a secret ingredient in the dough which is Horlicks which gives the cookies a deeper malt flavor which is great combined with chocolate.

At the end of the baking session, mission accomplished.

His sister's stash.

His stash. Because there were extras.

My stash. Only the Milo cookies because my portion of cranberry cookies, he finished it.

My Netflix companion.

I will be baking again next week. After that I can hang up my spatula and get back on track with my eating plan. Baking always involves the mandatory cookie tasting which always leads to cookie binge eating. I can't help it. I love snacking. Haiz.........
