Of all of the food in the world, I am not sure anything is more comforting that a warm chocolate chip cookie. The melted chocolate pull is rivaled only by the cheese pull! But why sell yourself short with only one type of chocolate. You deserve three! These triple chocolate chip cookies are warm and gooey, filled with white, milk, and dark chocolate!
Cookie Dough
For these cookies, I use my basic chocolate chip cookie dough recipe. Every recipe starts with flour, butter, brown sugar, and eggs, in different ratios. I found that this recipe yields the perfect balance of soft and chewy, with just enough crispy edge.
Start with the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, sift together:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour +2 tbsp of cornstarch
- OR, ALTERNATIVELY: 1 cup of AP flour, 1 cup of cake flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2/3 tsp salt
In a separate bowl, using a whisk or electric hand mixer, whip together 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup, 8 tbsp), 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/3 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Whisk in one egg and one egg yolk until combined. Now slowly, one cup at a time, add in the flour mix. Switch to a rubber or wooden spoon to mix the dough together. The dough will be thick and a little tough to mix but keep going!
Triple Chocolate
Once you have the dough together, it’s time for chocolate! Instead of just another cookie with milk chocolate chips, why not use 3? I used a combo of dark, milk, and white chocolate. I like having the variety of sweet and bitter, dark chocolate cuts through the super sweet milk and white chocolate! The dough does have a fair amount of sugar, so you could even sub out the milk chocolate for a semi-sweet chocolate instead.
Add 3/4 cup of each type of chocolate chips to the dough and mix until incorporated. Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, for the dough into 20 even sized balls. They will be about the same size as a golf ball. Place the balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a 400 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.
The cookies will still be very soft and only slightly golden brown, but they will continue cooking as they cool. Remove them from the oven and cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve them warm, highly recommended!
Some of the world’s best desserts are complex, fancy, and take hours. Every bit as satisfying but so simple to make, these triple chocolate chip cookies are the ultimate comforting snack.
