Ingredients You Need To Make Triple Chocolate Cookies
Note: the whole recipe, including the ingredient quantities, can be found at the bottom of this page – just scroll down to the bottom, or click the ‘Jump to Recipe’ button at the top of this post.
- Bread flour – this is a high gluten flour which helps give these cookies a chewier texture. You can use regular all-purpose flour (plain four) if you wish.
- Dutch processed cocoa powder – is an unsweetened cocoa powder which has been treated with alkaline and potassium carbonate to neutralize the acidity that is naturaly found in cocoa powder. It’s darker in color and strong in chocolate flavor.
- Baking powder – helps the cookie rise.
- Salt – I used fine salt.
- Butter – I used unsalted butter.
- Brown sugar – dark or light will work.
- Caster sugar – also known as superfine sugar is what’s best for this recipe but you can use granulated sugar as well.
- Egg – I used a large egg.
- Vanilla Extract – Always use good quality vanilla extract when baking, it makes a huge difference. I have a great recipe here for it if you’d like to try your own!
- Milk – helps bind the cookie ingredients together to help make it more of a uniform cookie that holds its shape when it’s baked. I used cow’s milk. Plant based milk will also work.
- Chocolate chips – I used milk and white baking chips that are found in the baking isle of your supermarket. You can use other types if you like. Peanut butter, dark chips, anything you like.

Tips and Tricks For Recipe Success!

- Make sure your butter is softened before making these cookies to ensure the butter and sugars cream together properly.
- Use chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips to get those iconic chocolate puddles in your cookies.

Frequently Asked Questions about Triple Chocolate Cookies
How To Store These Cookies.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Yes! You can roll the cookie dough into balls, then freeze. To bake, let them thaw completely before baking.

Do I need to chill the dough?
Not for this recipe. Some recipes ask you to chill the dough because without doing that, the cookies will bake really flat. Others will ask you to chill it up to 24 hours because it helps intensify the flavors and makes a gooey cookie. Which is true for some recipes. This cookie recipe will bake nice and thick and doesn’t need to be chilled for the flavors to intensify.

Chewy Triple Chocolate Cookies
Serves 14
Ingredients
Triple Chocolate Cookies
- 150 g bread flour, sifted (see notes)
- 50 g Dutch processed cocoa powder, sifted (see notes)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 166 g unsalted butter, softened
- 100 g brown sugar
- 105 g caster sugar, superfine
- 1 / 53 g large egg
- 1 tsp / 5 ml vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp / 20 ml milk
- 150 g milk cooking chocolate chips
- 150 g white cooking chocolate chips
Instructions
Triple Chocolate Cookies
- Preheat a fan-forced oven to 150C / 300F (170C/320F for no fan). Line two large baking sheets with baking paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and white chocolate chips. Use a whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl add both sugars and softened butter (make sure it’s really soft but not melted) and use an electric hand beater or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to beat until pale and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl using a spatula. Add the egg, vanilla extract and milk and mix until well combined.
- Stop the mixer, scrape down the bowl. Add the dry ingredients and both chocolate chips and use a spatula to mix until a dough forms. Use a cookie scoop that holds 2 tbsp of cookie dough and roll into 14 balls (6 on each sheet). Bake for 8 minutes. The cookies will be very soft when they come out of the oven.
- As soon as they come out of the oven add more chocolate chips on top and slightly indent them into the cookie.
- To get perfectly round cookies, use a round cookie cutter a little larger than your cookies and shuffle it around the cookies to shape them into rounder cookies. Allow to cool completely on the baking tray before serving.

So confused when was I adding the milk? 14 balls is 7 each tray not 6 and had to bake mine longer as they were so soft after 30 mins cooling.
Hey Marg, thanks so much for your comment! I’m really sorry for the confusion. The milk should be added in with the butter and sugars at the start. I’ve updated the recipe to make that clearer. And you’re spot on—14 balls is 7 per tray, not 6! As for the baking time, each oven can be a little different, so if they’re still soft after cooling, try leaving them in for an extra couple of minutes. Hope that helps! N x
