Triple Chocolate Cookies
These Chewy Triple Chocolate Cookies are thick, fudgy, and soft-baked with a rich brownie texture. Made with cocoa powder, chocolate chunks, and chips, they’re the best homemade cookie for any chocolate craving.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup salted butter slightly softened, see note 1
- ¾ cup brown sugar I used light
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs large
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ⅓ cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder unsweetened, make sure not pack it!
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips I like dark or semi sweet
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chunks see note 2 below
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat the slightly softened butter, brown sugar and sugar together in a bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric mixer on medium high speed. Beat until well combined and no lumps of butter remain. Add the eggs and vanilla then beat until lightened in color about 30-60 seconds. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. I like to give them a little fluff with my fingers at this point to make sure there aren't any lumps of baking soda or powder. Mix on low speed until 90% combined. Add the chocolate chips and chunks and mix on low speed just until combined. See note 3.
- Make dough balls about 2 Tablespoons in size and place on parchment lined baking sheet. We recommend only placing 12 on each sheet. Bake until the cookies have puffed up and the edges have set and the tops are matte, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest at least 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Enjoy!
Notes
- The most common mistake with these particular cookies is to use fully softened butter. That will cause these to spread too much and ruin them!
- For slightly softened cookies, make sure your butter is still a little cold and fairly firm. A good test is that you can make an indent when pressing on the butter firmly with your finger.
- These cookies are "fully loaded" with chocolate chips and chunks. For a less fully loaded cookie, but still lots of chips and chunks, reduce amounts to 1 cup of each.
- If using a hand mixer, you may have to use a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon to combine at this point so you don't burn out your motor!
- We tested this recipe many times until finally landing on the perfect amount of cocoa powder and baking soda and powder. If you follow this instructions, they will be thick and fudgey and so delicious!
