Triple Chocolate Cookies
Warning: these Triple Chocolate Cookies are dangerously addictive. With dark and milk chocolate chips scattered throughout a rich, buttery dough and a molten white chocolate centre, each bite delivers pure chocolate bliss. This isn’t just another chocolate cookie recipe – it’s the ultimate Triple Chocolate Cookie recipe that will ruin all other cookies for you. Forever.
If you’ve been following along for a while, you’ll know that I love a great cookie recipe! My obsession with cookies is very real and you’ll find everything from my 5 star No-Chill Chocolate Chip Cookies up to the decadent, oversized Copycat Levain 2 Chip Cookies and everything in between.
These chewy triple chocolate cookies came about after I’d asked my husband to buy some white Lindt chocolate while he was at the supermarket. When he returned, he’d actually bought a block of white Lindor chocolate (you know, the one with the gooey chocolate centres?). Well it just so happens, one of my favourite cookies ever is my Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies, so I thought I’d use the same base recipe, but stuff the cookie dough with white chocolate, rather than marshmallows. And honestly, I think I’ve created one of the best cookies ever with these delicious Triple Chocolate Cookies!
Why We Love This Recipe
- The middle of the cookie is gooey, while the edges are deliciously crispy
- No need to chill the cookie dough!
- The recipe makes 18 cookies, but you can easily freeze the dough balls and just bake what you want, when you feel a cookie craving coming on.
Recipe Ingredients
for a full list of ingredients, see the recipe card below
- A combination of milk and dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips) along with white chocolate Lindor creates the perfect chocolate chip cookies
- I use Dutch process cocoa powder, for a smoother, rich chocolate flavour
- The secret to creating deliciously soft cookies is cake flour. See substitutions below for how to make your own cake flour
- Both brown sugar and white sugar are used to achieve the right amount caramel sweetness
Substitutions and Variations
- No cake flour? Simply replace 25g of the plain flour (all purpose flour) with 25g of cornflour or cornstarch. Just whisk it through the flour before proceeding with the recipe
- I love the flavour varieties of Lindor (totally not sponsored!) and they now have salted caramel! Try some of the different flavours -they’re delicious!
- Don’t want to use Lindor? Try using white chocolate chips or chocolate chunks in the centre and turn them into delicious triple chocolate chip cookies instead.
- Turn this cookie recipe into Triple Chocolate Cookie Bars, just like my Biscoff Pecan Cookie Bars. Just scatter the squares of Lindor throughout and change the bake time to 35 minutes at 180℃ or 350℉
- I use regular, fine sea salt in this cookie recipe, but if you love a little extra burst of salt against the richness of the chocolate, swap it for a flaky sea salt. It’s so good!
- Want to make them slightly smaller? Use a medium sized cookie scoop to make 24 smaller cookies and reduce the bake time to 12 minutes
How To Make The Ultimate Triple Chocolate Cookie
Step 1:
Start by pre-heating your oven to 180℃ or 350℉ and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, then set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt, then set aside
Step 2:
In the large bowl of a stand mixer, combine the 2 sugars on low speed, using your paddle attachment
Step 3:
Add the room temperature butter and mix for 5 minutes on medium speed, stopping and scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula as required, then add your eggs one at a time and mix on low until just combined.
Add vanilla extract and mix through
Step 4:
Stop the mixer and add the flour mixture, along with the chocolate chips
Step 6:
Using your thumb, place a dent into each cookie dough ball, place a square of Lindor into the dent, then roll to enclose
Step 7:
Place cookie dough balls onto your prepared tray. Leave some space for spreading.
Bake cookies for 14-15 minutes, then remove from oven and allow to cool on tray for 2 minutes, before transferring them to a rack to cool.
Expert Baking Tips
- For accuracy, I always use a digital kitchen scale. Cup measurements in Australia differ to those in the USA, whereas a scale will always measure the correct amount
- Using a large cookie scoop to scoop out your dough will give you the same sized cookies, plus it’s much more efficient!
- Avoid over-baking your cookies. While they may look soft and puffy, your soft-baked cookies will continue to cook for a few more minutes, while resting on the baking tray, creating a chewy cookie with the most perfect texture!
- These cookies don’t spread a lot, but the centres may sometimes seep out a little. Just use a large round cookie cutter to scoot them back into beautiful circles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I use a measuring cup instead of scales?
A cup in Australia is 250ml, whereas in the USA it’s 240ml. To avoid confusion, I always use a scale
Do I need an electric mixer?
This cookie dough is quite stiff, and while I use to make this dough back in my 20’s without an electric mixer, it’s quite the workout! For best results, astand mixer will be your best friend.
Do I need to chill the cookie dough?
No! I love that this cookie dough can be baked straight away. No need to refrigerate and wait
Can I freeze the cookie dough?
This recipe makes 18 cookies, and unless I have all of my boys and their partners over, I’m freezing the dough balls! I love having the cookie balls in the freezer, ready to bake whenever a cookie craving hits, and I know you are going to love that too!
Storage Tips
Room Temperature: baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 3 days
Refrigerator: no need to refrigerate the cookie dough, but you can pop the rolled cookie dough balls in the fridge for a few days, if you want to bake them later on. Just put them in an airtight container, or cover them with plastic wrap
Freezer: store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months
