Ingredients:

Prepare to dive into the chocolatey goodness with the following ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Trio:

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Optional Add-ins:

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Sift and Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars:
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla:
    • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips:
    • Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips. Add chopped nuts if desired.
  7. Scoop and Space:
    • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough portions onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each for spreading.
  8. Bake to Perfection:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  9. Cool and Enjoy:
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook Notes:

  • Soft Center Tip: To achieve a soft and gooey center, slightly underbake the cookies and let them finish cooking on the hot baking sheet out of the oven.
  • Mixing Technique: Be gentle when folding in the chocolate chips to avoid overworking the dough, which could lead to tougher cookies.
  • Customize with Nuts: Add a delightful crunch by incorporating chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans into the dough.

Variations:

Mint Chocolate Delight: Infuse a refreshing twist by adding mint chocolate chips or a dash of peppermint extract to the dough.

Double Chocolate Chunk: Opt for an extra-chocolaty version by replacing one of the chocolate chip varieties with chunks of your favorite chocolate bar.

Orange Zest Elegance: Introduce a burst of citrusy flavor by adding orange zest to the dough. This complements the richness of the chocolates.

Keto Version:

For a keto-friendly adaptation of Triple Chocolate Cookies, substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour and use a sugar substitute like erythritol or stevia. Choose keto-friendly chocolate chips with higher cocoa content and minimal sugar.

Low-Carb Version:

Create a low-carb alternative by using a low-carb baking mix or coconut flour in place of all-purpose flour. Opt for sugar substitutes suitable for low-carb diets, and choose chocolate chips with reduced sugar content.

Triple Chocolate Cookies are not just cookies; they are an experience—a journey into the luscious world of chocolate indulgence.
