Preheat oven to 350ºF. Mix together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat for 2 min., then add egg and beat until mixed. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing well between additions. Stir in chocolate chips. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on cookie sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 min., or until golden brown.
