WARNING: YOUR KITCHEN WILL SMELL LIKE FAMOUS AMOS COOKIES.
[Makes 150-200 cookies]
Ingredients:
- 175g light brown sugar
- 80g granulated white sugar
- 150g unsalted butter, room temp
- 3/4tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 10g malted milk powder (Horlicks/ Ovaltine)
- 1 large egg , room temperature
- 270g all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 180g dark chocolate chips (I used a mix of 54% and 70% chips)
Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter, salt, light brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla and malted milk powder together. Beat on medium for 4 minutes.
- Add the egg and beat for another 4-5minutes on medium, or until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and baking powder together.
- Add the flour mixture into the stand mixer in 2 parts, mixing on low until just combined. Over mixing will result in tough cookies, it’s okay if there is still flour visible.
- Add the chocolate chips and pulse/mix on low until dispersed through the dough.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl and cling wrap (or to an air tight container) and store in the fridge for at least 24 hours but ideally 72 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 160°C and line a baking tray with baking/parchment paper.
- Remove your dough from the fridge and use a teaspoon measure to scoop out the dough.
- Place the dough onto the baking tray, and shape each of them into a tall shape.

- Remove from oven let completely cool on the tray for around 3-4 minutes before consuming.
Foodies, here’s a tip. Make sure to let the cookies cool down fully before consuming or storing as you want a crunchy, airy texture. If you want it to taste more alike to Famous Amos cookies, increase the amount of sugar (we wouldn’t recommend though because, not healthy).
