How To Make Triple Chocolate Cookies
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a medium 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 the stand mixer, add the flour mixture and chocolate chips, and fold into the batter until no white streaks remain.
- Cover the bowl and let it sit on the counter for 25-30 minutes until the batter firms up (it will look like thick brownie batter). Use a 1.5-tablespoon scoop to scoop the cookies onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing the dough 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes in a 350 degrees F preheated oven or until the cookies are cracked on top and shiny. Transfer the cookies to wire cooling racks to cool completely before removing them from the baking sheets.
Recipe Variations and Substitutions
- Butter: You can use salted butter instead of unsalted butter. Just decrease the salt to ¼ teaspoon.
- Nuts: Make these cookies nutty by adding ¾ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the cookie batter.
- Chocolate: You can use white chocolate chips instead of semisweet chocolate chips.
Storage Tips
STORE: Store these triple chocolate cookies in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
FREEZE: Transfer cookies to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 5-6 months.
THAW: Thaw cookies at room temperature for 1-2 hours before serving.

Instructions
Make Cookie Dough:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- 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.
