Triple Chocolate Cookies (V)

Go Big or Go Home should be applied to these delights. Three type of chocolate in one cookie, so bad, its good.

Makes 22-24

175g Unsalted Butter, cubed at room temperature
175g Light Brown Caster Sugar
150g Dark Chocolate, in cubes/chunks
200g Milk Chocolate, roughly chopped
200g White Chocolate, roughly chopped
25g Cocoa Powder
1 Egg
200g Plain Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Vanilla Extract/Essence/Vanilla Bean Paste (I used paste)

1. Preheat oven to 180c/160c fan assisted. Combine sugar and the butter in a mixer or in a mixing bowl. Add the egg and mix.

2. Melt the dark chocolate in a Bain Marie or microwave. Once melted allow to cool slightly then add to the mixture and mix. Then add the cocoa powder, plain flour, baking powder and vanilla.

3. It should stiffen up slightly once you start to combine the flour. Once the mixture starts to stiffen add the roughly chopped chocolate to the dough and continue mixing until combined. Then you have the cookie dough (as difficult it was for me, don't eat the cookie dough, it would mean less cookies!)

4. Take an ice cream scoop or tablespoon if you don't have a scoop. Scoop a spoonful of cookie dough and place on the lined baking tray and press down lightly with the spoon. Don't put them too close. On my 14" x 10" tray I put 6 on the tray, you could get away with 8 as they don't spread out.

5. Put them in the oven for 12 minutes. When they are finished baking leave on the tray for 10 minutes to cool then transfer to wire rack. Eat warm or wait till they are cool to store in a tin for later.

With these the white chocolate is melted in the centre and are sooo goey.  Enjoy!

Now what starts with the letter C? Cookie starts with C, Let's think of other things, That starts with C, Oh, who cares about the other things?, C is for cookie, that's good enough for me.

Makes 20 - 24 Cookies

150g Unsalted Butter. cubed at room temperature

150g Golden Caster Sugar

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 Large Egg

½ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

225g Plain Flour

225g Milk Chocolate (Dairy Milk, Galaxy, any good quality chocolate), roughly chopped

1. Preheat the oven to 200c/180c Fan assisted. 

2. In a bowl mix the butter and sugar together. Then add the vanilla and egg to the mixture and mix in. Then add the flour and bicarbonate of soda. When it starts to thicken add the chocolate and give one final mix

3. Layer the baking tray with greaseproof paper. Then take a tablespoon of cookie dough and put on the tray. For each tray put no more than 6 on them to prevent sticking (I was using a 24 x 18 cm tray).

4. Put in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes. They should be golden brown. Leave to cool on the tray before transferring to a wire rack. (Do I really need to give serving suggestions... Enjoy!)

Triple Chocolate Cookies (V)

Such a yummy treat with chocolatey goodness. Make sure not to eat all the cookie dough.

Makes 18-20 Cookies

375g Plain Flour
3 tbs Cocoa Powder
250g Butter
200g Caster Sugar
175g Soft Brown Sugar
1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
2 Large Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
300g Milk Chocolate, broken into bite size chunks
300g White Chocolate, broken into bite size chunks


1. Preheat the oven to 200c/180c Fan assisted.

2. In the mixing bowl, mix the butter, cocoa powder, brown sugar, caster sugar, eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. In a second bowl, mix the bicarb and flour together. Then gradually mix the flour into the butter/sugar mixture. The mixture should thicken. If too stiff add either one more egg or softened butter. Or if too gooey, add more flour. Add the chocolate and stir.

4. Put greasproof paper on 2/3 baking trays. Take a good tablespoon full of the cookie dough, place on the greaseproof paper. You could fit about 5/6 cookies worth on each tray. They will flatten out in the oven.

5. Put in the oven for about 10 minutes. Leave to cool on a wire rack for half an hour. Serve.
