Cookies Dessert

Milo Cookies!

Yum
Be warned! These cookies will not last very long! Mine was half gone just waiting for it to cool on the cooling rack. I made them before with a little more salt and I actually liked how the salt cuts through the sweetness.
 
This actual recipe that I’m posting uses salted butter, so I only added a little pinch of salt. It’s yummy no less, but I personally preferred my original unsalted butter with 1/2 tsp salt. 
 
Preheat oven to 180*C
Mix dry ingredients together (Flour, salt, milo, baking powder)
Cream soften butter and sugar together till nice and creamy
 

Add in egg and vanilla extract

Mix well to combine
You can use a hand mixer if you want, but I prefer using a spatula and mixing bowl

Add half of the dry ingredients and fold in well
Then the other half

Roll cookie dough into 50 cents / 1 inch ball size
It is going to be sticky! Wet your hands to prevent dough from sticking on your hands
Drop them on a lined baking pan

Bake for 12-15 mins

Cool for 5 mins in the pan and transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Keep everyone else away from cookie or it will be gone before it’s completely cooled!

    Hi there! My name is Rebekah and I am from NUS Sociology. I am currently writing a book about Milo and its relationship with Singapore. Could I ask you a few questions regarding this recipe?

    Almost perfect recipie, I have loved milo for a long time and was thrilled when I found this recipie but… Just a quick warning and I am not sure if it was my baking powder but there was too much in this recipie and I was left with a baking power aftertaste yuk, I will try this recipie again though as it is a good one but I might just cut down on the ammount of baking powder put in 🙂

      Hi!! Thanks for your comment. I've made this several times and have never faced that issue, neither have many of the readers who have recreated this recipe. May I know the brand of baking powder you use? And if you are going to remake this with lesser BP, please let me know how it turns out. Definitely a good alternative to have lesser baking agent in recipes. 🙂

    Tried the recipe tonight. The mixture after folding in dry ingredients is quite ‘watery’, is it supposed to be like that?

    I used less baking powder (about 1.5 tsp) as i realized i dont have enough of it left, only when i prepared all other ingredients and ready to start. Hehe.. It still turned out nice.

    A bit on the sweet side, ppl who do not have sweet tooth might want to reduced amount of sugar.

    But anyway, i still love it. Thanks for sharing the recipe. 🙂

      Hi, it should not be ‘watery’. Hmmm I would think it’s because the butter has became too soft in our heat, I’m glad it still turned out well. Yes, do feel free to reduce sugar to suit your taste. Thanks for trying out the recipe! 🙂

      Hi! I’ve not made it with oats before but I think it’s ok to add up to 1/2 cup oats in the mix. But keeping in mind that will alter the texture of the cookie. 🙂

      Hi! Not sure why your cookies turned out hard. Did you change anything? Baked in the middle rack of oven? This recipe yields soft chewy cookies.

        Hi! I am also facing the problem of hard cookies. I followed the recipe and placed the tray in the middle rack, as well as reduced baking time for second batch after realising my first batch was hard. It was originally soft, but when it cooled down it hardened a lot which was unusual

          Hi, did you change any part of the recipe? How long did you bake it for? Was your oven set at fan forced or top/bottom heat? This makes a big difference. Most cookies will be soft when out of the oven and harden as it cools as it will continue to cook on your tray. If you are using a dark colour tray, remember that it conducts heat much faster. Once cookies are set enough to transfer, it’d be ideal to transfer with a spatula to a cooling rack to cool completely.
