What You Need To Make This Easy Triple Chocolate Cookies Recipe?
Unsalted Butter: Softened butter is key here – it ensures your cookies have that perfect chewy texture. And rich flavor. Don’t rush it. Let it soften naturally. For the best results.
Granulated White Sugar: This gives your cookies that classic sweetness. And helps achieve those slightly crispy edges everyone loves.
Packed Brown Sugar: Adds a deeper, molasses-like flavor. And keeps the cookies delightfully moist. And chewy.
Egg: The binding agent that brings everything together. Adding a bit of richness to the dough.
Pure Vanilla Extract: This might seem like a small addition. But it’s essential for enhancing the overall flavor of the cookies.
Unbleached Flour: Provides structure to your cookies. Using unbleached flour. Keeps it a bit healthier. And gives the cookies a slightly nuttier flavor.
Unsweetened Baking Cocoa: This is where the rich, deep chocolate flavor comes from. Make sure to sift it to avoid lumps.
Baking Soda: Helps the cookies rise just enough. Ensuring they’re not too flat. And have a nice soft interior.
Salt: Balances the sweetness. And enhances all the other flavors. A small but mighty ingredient.
Chocolate Chunks: These create pockets of melty chocolate goodness in every bite. Use good-quality chocolate. For the best results.
Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Distribute throughout the dough. Ensuring you get a bit of chocolate. In every bite. The mini size means you get more chocolate per bite!

Step 7: Bake for 9-10 minutes. Until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly gooey.
Step 8: Remove from the oven. And immediately press the remaining chocolate chunks. And mini chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies. Optionally, you can spread the melted chocolate. For a glossy finish.

Tip:
For an extra gooey center. Slightly underbake the cookies. Taking them out of the oven when they appear just set. But still soft in the middle. They will continue to cook on the cookie sheet. After you remove them from the oven. For a different flavor twist. Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking. Which complements the sweetness. And adds a delightful crunch.
