Mini malted milk shortbread cookies. Pack them in small glass jars, reminiscent of the candy malted milk tablets of long ago.
- ½ c. salted butter, slightly softened
- ¼ c. sugar
- ¼ c. Horlick's malt powder
- 2 T. nonfat powdered milk
- ¾ c. + 1 T. flour
- In addition:
- For Chocolate malt cookies, add 2 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
- Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl.
- Mix by hand, using your fingers to rub the butter into the dry ingredients. Keep blending and squishing until a well mixed dough forms.
- Cut the dough into eight equal portions. Roll each portion out into a log with a diameter about the size of a dime. Cut the log into ½" pieces. Place pieces cut side down onto a shiny baking sheet. Press each piece down slightly while rounding the edges and forming as round a circle shape as possible. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Bake at 300 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, until just done. Watch them closely towards the end so they don't overbrown. Remove cookies from the hot baking sheet onto a cooling rack or a cool baking sheet so the bottoms don't continue to cook. Cool completely.
- Use chopsticks to arrange cookies in small glass bottles that can be covered with lids. Keep tightly covered.
