Crunchy Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies | Famous Amos Style Cookies 

Hi Everyone, For those wondering about malted milk powder, there are notes on the brand I use and alternatives in my blog post (link in the description). The malted milk powder does add to compensating on the flavour to make up for the lowered sugar amounts in this recipe to suit my taste compared to the sweetness of FA. :) With reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe or changing it up, I suggest trying the recipe as is first before making any changes as it is quite a delicate balance and any changes will affect the final texture of the cookie. Should you wish to lower the sugar in the recipe, you could but it will affect the results. Hope this helps. Sara

i just tried this recipe and here are some tips: -really, really beat that butter. i beat it for 5 minutes on medium-high, then another 6 minutes with the egg on medium. -don’t skimp on the sugar. you need enough for that caramelised flavour. -instead of malted milk powder, you can use milo -LEAVE IT TO REST! 3 days may seem like a lot, but it is worth it. i baked a batch right after making the recipe, 6 hours after, 24 hours after, 48 hours after and 72 hours after. the one left for 72 hours really tasted the best, while the one baked immediately tasted one-dimensional. -don’t eat it fresh out the oven. as it cools, it will become more crisp. overall, this is an amazing recipe. the cookie was light an airy, with delightful pockets of air in each bite. it only took 20 minutes to whip up, so it’s definitely worth a shot!

Tried this recipe without the malted milk powder & it still taste similar to famous amos! I reduced the amount of white sugar to 50g & I find the sweetness just right! Thank you for the great recipe 😊👍🏻

Steps:))) 1) Add 150g unsalted butter into bowl A 2) Add 175g light brown sugar 3) Add 80g granulated white sugar 4) Add 1tsp vanilla extract 5) Add 10g malted milk powder 6) Add 3/4 tsp salt 7) MIX THEM (4-5 mins) 8) Add 1 large egg (room temp) 9) Beat on medium for 5 minutes *ANOTHER BOWL* 10) Add 270g all purpose flour into bowl 11) Add 1/2 tsp baking soda 12) Add 11/2 baking powder 13) MIX THEM :) 14) Add half of the flour to bowl A 15) MIX THEM AGAIN :) 16) ADD THE OTHER HALF OF FLOUR 17) ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS 18) MIX THEM 19) PUT THE DOUGH IN AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER AND PUT IT INTO THE REFRIGERATOR (wait for at least 24 hours, ideally 72 hours) [don’t worry, I’m confused too (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)】 20) Preheat oven 160 degrees Celsius 21) Scoop out 3/4 tsp dough balls (make their shape like mountains 🏔) 22) Bake 11-13 mins until golden brown (They must have so Siaw distancing of at least 1 cm) BAKING TIME 40 cookies (11-12mins) 60 cookies (13 mins) THE LARGER YOUR COOKIES, THE MORE TIME YOU NEED :) 23) Cool your cookies before consuming them :) Or else it won’t be crispy ): I used my own words so I hope it helped :)) Have a nice day and enjoy your cookies 🍪 with milk 🥛

I made cookies following this recipe and it was soooooo good. My family prefers crunchy cookies and this recipe is a keeper. Didn't let it rest, but it was still super amazing. So easy and crunchy. Please make sure to beat the butter, sugar and eggs very very well. I beat it for like 10 minutes using a hand mixer. Tasted as good as Famous Amos. Thank you Buttermilk Pantry!!

These are good! Combining with ideas form other recipes, I used browned butter, cut 30g of brown sugar, added 2 tbsp of cacao powder, added 2 tspn of espresso powder, added walnuts and chopped almonds, swapped half of the flour to bread flour, really undermixed the flour, baked for 14 mins. The result is fantastic! This is now my only keeper cookie recipe.

I've followed baking this recipe without malted milk powder, and I have to say that the taste and texture is still very similar to FA's. Although her blog mentioned that malted milk powder is to compensate the reduction of sugar in the cookies, my cookies tasted sweet enough as compared to FA's. I would suggest putting less sugar in my opinion. I've always wanted to bake FA cookies but couldnt find the right recipe to follow. Really thankful Buttermilk Pantry for sharing this recipe!! This recipe will always be my go-to cookies recipes! :))

Just made these! I replaced malted milk powder with milo powder,accidentally used melted butter instead of room temp butter and baked them at 180 degrees for 10 minutes and they turned out great!Thanks for the recipe

I didn't use milk powder. But they turned out super yummy. I live in Europe, where most cookies in the stores are crisp. When I bake I use American recipes and those cookies are often chewy, soft or cakey. I think American cookies are often intended to be soft, something that is not common here. My kids think those soft/chewy cookies are OK but were happy that I finally made some 'real' cookies. Crisp and light just like the 'normal' ones.

I made half the recipe portion and tweeked it after seeing comments that it was overly sweet. Made 55 cookies in total. Reduced sugar to • 60g Light Brown Sugar • 30g Caster Sugar As i didnt have malt powder/horlicks i used "Milo-no-sugar" • 5g Milo Gao Kosong And also used 78% Dark Chocolate 90g chopped into tiny pieces instead of chocolate chips. Result was super delicious, crispy on the outside and not too hard on the inside, and sweetness was just right :) Thanks for the recipe!!

Tried this recipe and this became my favorite cookies recipe EVER! I bake this almost every week it's so addictive

i tried this cookie recipe yesterday. Replaced the malt milk powder with cocoa powder and it turn out great! Even better the next day....

This recipe is AMAZING. Thank you SO much. Every single time I make it and give it to friends every single person compliments them.

I made it 3 days ago and baked it today, the result so good.. its crunchy and melted in my mouth just like FA’s cookies texture .. thank you very much for the recipe and step by step very clear and easy to undrestand

Singapore, where room temp butter is almost melted butter

Hi, i’ve tried so many famous amos recipes, and yours was by far the most alike to famous amos cookies! The texture and the taste is perfect, so glad i waited 72 hours for these! Thank you so much for this recipe!

This is AMAZING. No joke, you have to make these. They are so crispy, and the texture is almost the same as the real famous Amos. I halved the recipe, and made approximately 100 cookies, which was quite a lot! But they are so moreish and delicious that they would be gone in no time. I added macadamia nuts in mine to give an extra crunch and flavour. I swapped it with half of the chocolate chips, so there would be just the right amount of filling. I seriously recommend it this recipe, it is absolutely amazing!!

I couldn’t find malted here so i used the normal milk powder instead and lessened sugar. The taste is still good. Love your recipe 😊

I made this last night and baked it after I refrigerated the dough for only 30-45 minutes since I wanted to check if the dough was okay and they were so good. I reduced both sugar by 20g but they're still sweet for me. Crunchy and it felt like I can bite on almonds even though I didn't put any. My sister said they were good too. I used 3 in 1 milo powder since I don't have malted milk powder. Thank you for the recipe! I've never tried FA cookies before so I'm not sure if they have similar taste but I can say this recipe is really great! Oh! And I used hand mixer and spatula for those who don't have stand mixer like me. I'm going to bake the rest of the dough maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow yayy

I am just here to let you know that your recipes will now be my DEFAULT recipes as long as they exist. you are AMAZING !

I have tried several mini chocolate chip cookie recipes and this one was by far the best. I made it without malt powder because I didn't have any, and I used mini chocolate chips. Phenomenal. Whipping the devil outta that butter and sugar really creates a light as air texture

Just made these over the weekend. Swapped the malted milk powder for Horlicks as it was available to me and they were so dangerous for me! I can't stop eating them!! Gave them to couple of friends who loved them too. Finally found my go to cookie recipe! Thank you for sharing them with us!

I tried ur recipe..a bit sweet for me but it’s rlly crunchy n nice..thank u..

I made these just a few hours ago and even without the aging which I'm going to do they're one of if not the best cookies I've ever tasted

I have made these cookies SO MANY times now. My kids love them. Crisp and crunchy. So good.

Great video! I love how you story tell your baking process, the dramatic effect when you pour the ingredients, the background music that lines up with ur baking and the subtle noises of ur actual work. Keep it up! 😊♡

I had try this recipe & its taste so good & similar to Famous Amos with less sweet version 🤩 The most challenging part is the baking time & temperature Because different oven have different outcome . The taste is there, just depend on how well you know about your oven😁

the best choc chip cookies recipe i’ve tried ! thank you for all those details. definitely worth to try.

The only cookie recipe that really works for me. Thank god i found you! Thanks

This is the best cookie I’ve ever made. It really does taste like FA cookies!! I 100% recommend It. I used horlicks instead and it turned out great. Placed mine in the oven for a total of 17 mins to make it golden brown!

This recipe is amazing! Finally I have made myself a crunchy chocolate chip cookie from scratch and everyone loves it. Thank you for the recipe!

The best cookie recipe i had ever tried 😍 it taste so similar to the FA cookies! 100% recommend this

This recipe is perfect for little crunchy cookies! Packs well to give to friends, except I keep finishing them! Makes a big batch so I keep the dough in the freezer for fresh cookies any time. Thank you for this recipe!!

OMG just baked the first batch of the cookies after 24 hours in the fridge and its amazingggg!! i only reduced 30g of brown sugar and it still tastes so good, not as sweet as famous amos. and i had to bake them at 180°C for 20 minutes, if not it will be chewy and underbaked. thanks for the recipe! this is my first time i succeeded making crunchy cookies 😂

At last! Got the best recipe.. I used Horlicks and it tastes sooo good! Tried 24hrs but doesn’t taste as good as 72hrs.. my family loves it! Will bake again once this batch finished😊

I've tweaked the recipe a little to make it a double choc version and it tasted so good! My family could not stop eating it. Thankyou!!

I made these and they are absolutely addictive and having them on the tiny bite size size is different and fun to eat. The malted milk powder makes all the difference. I have 4 favorite chocolate chip recipes and this made my top 4. I like the double tree chocolate chip recipe right extra, extra chocolate chips and I add extra raisins and sometimes cran raisins, Jacques Torres chocolate chip, Nestle Original Tollhouse and of course Buttermilk Bakeries Famous Amos.

Thank you very much for the recipe! I try it yesterday and It comes out so nice💕 The tastes is extremely good and it also very crunchy 😍

9 hours later my first batch went out. Taste wise? Like those average online choc chic cookie recipe. Compared to the Famous Amos ones, this recipe missed that sliiiight nuttiness, caramelised & that X factor in it. She did mentioned thru her blog to make it even more famous amos-like cookie with crumbs, do punch on more sugar and wait for 72 hours then bake. Good thing is the look and crunchiness of the cookies are spot on! If u bake it right, it does turned out golden brown. Im definitely going to wait longer to bake for my second batch. Having high hope that the next batch will be superb. 🤞🏾

Been cooking for a while and this is the first time I've come across malted milk powder. I'll see if I can find it in my local supermarket. This looks awesome! 😍

Tried this yesterday and baked my first batch today after about 10 hours! Was delicious!! Gonna bake the next batch in after 24hrs 24 hours - definitely could taste the difference, absolutely delicious 48 hours - best one yet, my family LOVED it

Hi! Thank you so much for the recipe! I’ve tried it, and I really really like it! Fyi, I use regular milk powder instead of the malted one, and it turns out okay. Thankyouuu!! 🥰

Made this recipe twice already and it was so good!! thank you!!

i ve tried it. so delicious, my daughter love it! thanks for the recipe

This is my daughter's favorite .. I usually buy it. And now I will try to make it, I hope I can make it

Thank you for sharing. The outcome is so good and even better after the 3rd day. I used semi sweet and the result is very sweet. But everyone likes it. Many thanks.

I ve tried the recipe! Superb. But i made an adjustment on the sugar. I put 100gm sugar on each batch. It tastes good and so so so crunchy. Thanks for the recipe n tips.

Hi there 👋 I tried this recipe, and it's turned out great. It does have crunchy texture, but mine is kinda hard to break 😅😅 Any suggestions to make the perfect crunchy texture? And what's things that may affect the cookies' texture? Thank you.

Hi there👋🏼 i just tried your recipe today, and i must say its very crunchy! I use horlicks in sachet... my parents love it! I rolled the cookies in very small ball instead of tall like yours, thank you for sharing the recipe🥰👍🏼

I tried this recipe , waited for 2 days and i didn’t have any powdered milk , so i tried using Full Cream Milk and it turned out greatt!!

Love this recipe! It’s brilliant! I have tried it and keep baking since then...thanks! Best crispy choco chips cookies ever....

Just want to say thanks so much for this recipe! Been craving crunchy famous amos style cookies for a long time and can hardly get these since i moved from Singapore to Australia. THANK YOU! THEY TASTE AMAZING!!!!

I'm so grateful for this recipe 💕 The cookies was very delicious 😋 My whole family loves it.

Yay!! Can’t wait to try these, they look amazing!

Tried today, turned out crispy and delish. Thanks for sharing...

I’ve tried this recipe and it’s really goood

Thanks for explaining very well

The cookies lined up on the baking tray ready to be baked reminds me of the Pinnacles in Western Australia :D

Hi thank u for recipe. I tried it yesterday n yes it taste like FA! ❤️ But i adjust sugar (less 30g), change to milo (choc malt powder is common in asian household) and add cinnamon and cocoa powder. The smell is amazing with cinnamon. I baked some of it after 4 hours bcs my parents asked for it 😂 but remaining, will do after 24H and 72H to see the difference :) thanks

I really like FA.. thanks for the recipe, definately will try this.. 😻

made these for Eid this year and they were a hit!! used horlicks for malted milk and dark brown sugar bc thats all i could find. cookies came out a little bit darker than his. i also did keep it refrigerated for 3 days but very curious to see what they would turn out if baked immediately/after a few hours

Thank you Buttermilk Pantry for the recipe.. Love it! ❤️

Hi just this this... perfect... everthing is perfect!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Just baked them! Although I was not able to get as many air pockets as shown in the video, they were still airy and light. It was the best cookie recipe I’ve baked and it’s going to be the only one I bake from now onwards despite all the time and effort involved. Thank you for the recipe. PS: I tried your pineapple tarts recipe the other day (the first time I ever baked pineapple tarts) and my whole fam loved it. Looking forward to trying out your other recipes in the near future:)

Very satisfying to watch! I will have a go at these as ginger cookies. Had been looking for a good way to do ginger cookies in a similar crispy fashion, absolutely no disrespect to the chocolate chip! Cheers!

I just made it last friday and follow yr step and method exactly. And I bake after 1hr the dough stored in fridge, after 24hrs and after 48hrs. I think 48hrs is much better. The taste is so good after 48hrs. I'll be waiting for another hours to complete 72hrs. Sure it'll taste different and more tasty😋 i didn't used malted powder since i run out of stock. I'll be making another batch using premium butter, and use malt powder and choc chip like you suggested. I bet it'll be more tasty. Edited : i have tried making this a few times now using Horlicks and it tastes so good. i always making this cookies. N i didn't bake all the dough i keep in the fridge and when i want to eat i bake it fresh!.

My goodness FINALLY!!! I've been looking for a detailed crunchy, FA-type recipe everywhere. Batches I made from some not so authentic recipes were crumbly :( Can't wait to try this! Thank you so much! DO READ THE DETAILED RECIPE IT'S AMAZING AND TELLS YOU EVERYTHING! Fantastic job.

i made these and they were so good! i reduced both sugars slightly as I was using Ovaltine and they still taste delicious. they were crispy and similar-tasting to the FA cookies. officially my new go-to CCC recipe!

I tried this... it was 100% like famous amous cookies... please keep it the dough freezed for at least 2 day , and the best is 3 days.. it taste really have different by keeping it longer

can't wait to try the recipe! look the effects and enhancements with editing as well :)

so excited to try this recipe

Tried this and it is really good! I didn’t have Horlicks at home, so I replaced it with Milo.. and also, didn’t have much time to wait for 72h so I shape them as soon after I mixed them, and put it in the fridge for a few hours before I bake.. and not sure because I didn’t let it in the fridge long enough, but to get that crisp I had to bake it for longer, around 20-30mins.. also, tho it’s good and crunchy, it’s not exactly Famous Amos.. but I think if there’s more sugar in the recipe it would come up to be like FA, you know FA is tooooo sweet.. so this is goood 👍🏻

i added salt halfway through baking and it turned out so good 🤤🤤🤤

Super love ur recipe… i tried until the 3rd time only can get it right.. no regret and jt love it… thanksss

I just wanna say that I really love this recipe and it's really taste like famous Amos thank you for this amazing recipe♥️♥️

Can I replace malted milks powder with other types of milk powder ? Like full cream powder or omit it out ? Thanks and look forward to hear from u .

love crisp cookies, thanks!

this is my favorite! mr amos came out in shark tank trying to sell another cookie or something. apparently this cookie company which he built has nothing to do with him anymore.

Love cookies ❤❤

Try omit granulated sugar .. use brown sugar. Mix bits of corn flour & add milk choc. U'll hv the blend of chocolaty taste & less sweet. Add nuts or almond nibs .. the best!!

Looks so delicious！

Hi, I' ve never heard about Malted Milk Powder. Can I replace it with regular milk powder? Thank you!

Just to let you know that ive tried your recipe and the result was so amazing!! I just add a little bit of shortening. Its super crunchy and i dont have to add in emplex or corn starch. Thanks for the recipe💕

Your vidoes are so well made! keep up the good work :)

This is amazing quality video... Sooo soothing to my eyes❤️❤️❤️

Hi, after I chill it for 24 hours, do I need to let it rest for awhile before I bake them?

Can we scoop the portions firsts and then in the fridge.?
