Triple Chocolate Cookies

Recipe Overview 🍽️

History of the Recipe ✍️

Triple Chocolate Cookies are a decadent evolution of the famous American Chocolate Chip Cookies. The addition of three types of chocolate has become a playful way to enhance texture and flavors, offering a unique and varied chocolate experience in every bite.

Ingredients 🛒

listed in the order of use in the procedure:

• 225 g (1 cup) of unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 150 g (3/4 cup) of brown sugar
• 100 g (1/2 cup) of granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 300 g (2 1/2 cups) of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 100 g (3.5 oz) of dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)
• 100 g (3.5 oz) of milk chocolate chips
• 100 g (3.5 oz) of white chocolate chips

Steps (How to Make ) 🥣

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Cream the butter with both sugars (brown and white) until you achieve a creamy and homogeneous mixture.
3. Add the eggs one at a time while mixing, then incorporate the vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the dough until well incorporated.
5. Add the dark, milk, and white chocolate chips. Gently mix with a spatula.
6. Form dough balls using a tablespoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each ball.
7. Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are slightly golden but the center remains soft.
8. Let cool on a rack before tasting.

Chef Tips 👨‍🍳

• For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes before baking.
• Do not overbake the cookies to keep them soft inside.
• Mix in the chocolate chips just before baking to prevent the chocolate from melting into the dough.

Possible Variations 🎭

• Add nuts or almonds for a crunchy touch.
• For an even more intense flavor, replace the milk chocolate with 85% cocoa dark chocolate.
• Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on each cookie before baking to contrast with the sweetness of the chocolates.

Bake Time 🔥

Baking takes about 10 to 12 minutes at 180°C (350°F). The cookies should be lightly golden around the edges but remain soft in the center for the perfect result.

How to Store 🥡

Food and Drink Pairings 🥂

Triple Chocolate Cookies pair wonderfully with a large glass of cold milk. For a more adult option, a strong coffee or a robust black tea can balance the sweetness of the three types of chocolate.

Presentation Suggestion 🍽️

Arrange the warm cookies on a plate, with some melting chocolate chunks as decoration. For an even more indulgent presentation, serve them with fresh fruits like strawberries or raspberries, or pair them with a scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream.

Why It’s Healthy 💚

While rich, Triple Chocolate Cookies offer benefits from dark chocolate, which is high in antioxidants and flavonoids. The white and milk chocolates provide sweetness. By making this recipe at home, you control the sugar content and avoid preservatives found in store-bought versions.
