Soft and Chewy Malted Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are easily one of the best oatmeal cookies ever! The subtle malted milk flavor adds a hint of something special and adds to the chewiness of the cookie!
Can you even with these? I mean how have I not thought of this combo in the last 10 years that I’ve been blogging? I feel like I’ve let down the whole world, myself included. I mean I am ALL about a malted cookie. My Soft Malted Chocolate Chip Cookies are some of my most favorite ever ever, so why in the world haven’t I made more versions? Anyhow, I was in Asheville, NC a few weeks ago and we visited a place called French Broad Chocolates (which was awesome btw), and they had a malted oatmeal cookie on the menu. My brain basically exploded. I almost yelled, “HOW HAVE I NOT MADE THAT?” It’s such a simple idea.
Of course I ordered the cookie to try it…and I have to say I was completely underwhelmed, although everything else we ordered was outstanding. But I knew that I could do better. And I did. So much better.
MY OTHER RECIPESI essentially combined my (perfect) Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and my Soft Malted Chocolate Chip Cookies together with a few minor tweaks and the result was solid.
Much like both of my recipes, with these I also recommend chilling the dough. I know, I’m sorry. I mean you don’t HAVE to…but the flavors combine so nicely, and also you will get a thicker cookie if you bake it chilled. If you just don’t want to chill the dough, they won’t be ruined, they will just be a little thinner, and the flavors just aren’t as extra, if that makes sense. It does, right?
You can also use either Quick Oats (which I recommend for these) OR old-fashioned oats, either will work, it’s just a texture difference. I enjoy them both ways, but for this cookie I like the quick oats (which are really just old-fashioned oats cut smaller).
If you aren’t a malt fan, I think you’ll still like these. The flavor is subtle, and the malted milk powder just adds a nice chew to the cookie! I find my malted milk powder at my supermarket near the hot chocolate mix, OR you can get it here.

The flavors really mix together well when you allow the dough to chill. Also, you will produce a thicker cookie when the dough is baked chilled. If you don’t want to chill the dough, the results will still be good, it will just be a thinner cookie.
