In a large mixing bowl, beat Crisco, milk and brown sugar until combined. Add egg and beat until fully combined. Slowly beat in malted milk powder, flour, salt and baking soda.

Press cookie dough into a large baking sheet with one inch sides. I used a 15 1/2 x 10inch pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes until browned. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, for the filling, in a large sauce pan, heat sweetened condensed milk until and butter until warm over medium-low heat. Add in milk chocolate and heat until smooth, whisking constantly. Pour into prepared cookie crust.
