Triple Chocolate Cookies: unsweetened, bittersweet, and semisweet chocolate all packed into one cookie that is fudgy, rich and has intense chocolate flavor.

Equipment

  • baking sheets
  • silicone baking mats OR parchment paper
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • stand mixer
  • rubber scraper
  • 1.5 Tablespoon cookie scoop
  • wire cooling racks

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped
  • 1 ½ cups bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl add the unsweetened chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, and butter pieces. Heat in the microwave on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and then heat on 50% power for 30 seconds, Stir and repeat until the chocolate is melted and glossy.
  • Add eggs and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until thick and pale in color, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Pour in vanilla and beat on low for 10 seconds.
  • Scrape the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and beat on low until combined, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Take the mixing bowl off of the stand mixer, pour in the flour mixture and chocolate chips, and fold into the batter until no white streaks remain.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit on the counter for 25-30 minutes. This will allow the batter to firm up (it will look like thick brownie batter).
  • While the batter firms up, move the oven racks to the upper-middle and lower-middle positions and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • Use a 1.5-Tablespoon scoop to scoop the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the dough 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 11-14 minutes, or until the cookies are cracked on top and shiny, rotating the pans halfway through baking.
  • Move the cookie sheets to wire cooling racks to cool completely before removing them from the baking sheets.
