    Ingredients
     

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 + ¼ cup Milo
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • Pinch of salt
    • 1 stick unsalted butter at room temperature
    • ¾ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 tablespoons whole milk
    • ¾ cup chocolate chips

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
    • Whisk together the flour, Milo, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.
    • In another bowl using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar for about 4 minutes, or until smooth. Add the egg, beating for 1 more minute. Add the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients and the milk, mixing only until they are incorporated. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix in the chocolate chips.
    • Drop about 1 tablespoon of dough onto the sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between them. Bake for about 12 minutes, until set but still soft when touched.
    • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet(s) on a wire rack for about 3 minutes. Transfer the cookies to the rack and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    Some things never change... I love Milo, I have always loved Milo, and I will die loving Milo 🙂

    These cookies were inspired by  my favorite chocolate drink, Milo! So, what is Milo anyway? It is a chocolate and malt powder made by Nestlé, that is mixed with hot or cold milk to make a wonderfully rich drink.

    These Milo Cookies make a great Valentines Day chocolate-style gift for that special someone!

    Galletas de Milo are an absolute must-make dessert in my house. Buen provecho!

      I have a question. When you make the Milo drink with milk like in chocolate milk, do you add nutmeg? My husband is Colombian and he remembers that when he drank Milo growing up it tasted different. He called his sister back home and she said they always added nutmeg to it. I tired it and it does taste wonderful however, I was just curious if this was customary or it was something only they did.

      I am now subscribed to your emails. Looking forward to more great recipes.

      Thanks!

        Marie, I don't add anything to my Milo ! I don't like to change the original drink flavor.

        The milk sold in North America has a completely different flavor that the one sold in Colombia, why? I think maybe there is no malt powder in it.

      These are simply luscious, Erica. And now I feel so silly - but I never heard of Milo. Is it around? Because I have a daughter who would yearn for these.

      Until we moved to Manila, this was a totally unfamiliar product to me. But here, it's everywhere! I'm not terribly keen to drink it (Ovaltine was my malted chocolate drink of choice as a child) but I would definitely gobble it up if made into these delicious-looking cookies. Thanks for sharing! 😎

      How many grams is 1 stick unsalted butter. Here in my country 1 stick is about 227 grams. Is it that much?

      The taste is unreal. Awesome. I tried adding also a cup of raisins and reducing 1/4 of the sugar and used brown coconut sugar instead. Also tried adding 4 tbsps of instant coffee to the milk portion with hot water to get some good mocha taste. Turned out great.
