Milk powder is a dry dairy product made by evaporating milk until it turns into a powder.
You simply add the milk powder to the dough.
It gives the chocolate chip cookies a depth of flavor and a wonderful toasty quality.

Milk powder is sometimes labeled as dehydrated milk or nonfat dry milk powder.
There are two options:
1.
If youre using achocolate chip cookie recipethat calls for browning the butter, add the milk powder to it.
It’ll caramelize along with the milk solids in the butter.
The deeper the color, the more caramelized flavor you’ll get.
For recipes that call for melting the butter, mix the milk powder into the melted butter.
Milk powder will give your cookies a rich, toasty quality thats hard to replicate any other way.
And soon you’ll bebaking with itall the time.
