 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      cups          all-purpose flour
    1      teaspoon      baking soda
      1/2  teaspoon      salt
    1      cup           butter flavored vegetable shortening
    1 1/4  cups          brown sugar -- firmly packed
      1/2  cup           malted milk powder
    2      tablespoons   chocolate syrup
    1      large         egg
    1 1/2  cups          semisweet chocolate chips
    1      cup           milk chocolate chips
 
    Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
 
    Get out 2 cookie sheets; no need to grease them.
 
    Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
 
    In a mixing bowl, combine the shortening, brown sugar, malted
    milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes, then
    add the egg and beat for a second or two, until mixed.
 
    Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing
    well between additions. Stir in chocolate morsels and chips. I j
    used Guittard's BIG chocolate morsels and their milk chocolate
    chips. BTW, these cookies are LOADED with chocolate chips!
 
    Shape dough into 2-inch balls. Place 6 balls of dough onto each
    cookie sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart. The cookies are
    pretty big, not tiny ones.
 
    Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown. Mine took 12
    minutes. Don't over-cook them or they'll be hard as a rock.
 
    Cool on cookie sheets for at least 2 minutes or they'll fall
    apart. Cool on wire racks.
