Triple Chocolate Cookies (Dark and Dangerous)





Oh yes.

TRIPLE chocolate cookies.

Dark.

Dangerous.

I'm not joking when I say I took a bite out of these, died, and then went to heaven. But hey, death by chocolate? It's not a bad way to go.

A decadent chocolate cookie base with dark AND white chocolate chunks. It doesn't get better than that!

Triple Chocolate Cookies makes 2 dozen cookies
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks, coarsely chopped*
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chunks, coarsely chopped*
*you can substitute for semi-sweet and white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Using a stand mixer, cream butter with sugars until light and fluffy, scraping bowl once. On low speed, add in egg and vanilla. Beat until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Slowly add in flour mixture until well combined.

Fold in chocolate chunks with a rubber spatula (or your hands!) until just combined. Drop cookie dough by tablespoons about 2" apart on cookie sheets.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

I dare you to have these with a glass of chocolate milk. ;)
