Award-Winning Triple Dark Chocolate Cookies (SO GOOD!)
These triple dark chocolate cookies are the ultimate chocolate cookie recipe! Decadent, chewy, and oh-so-flavorful, they're basically like a brownie in cookie form.
½cunsweetened dark chocolate cocoaI use Hershey’s Special Dark
1tspbaking soda
1tspsalt
1cdark chocolate chips*
1csemisweet chocolate chips*
Instructions
Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a hand-held electric mixer), cream together the butters & the sugar on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula & then add in eggs & vanilla. Mix just until blended (10-15 seconds) on medium speed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
With the mixer on low, gradually add in dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Cover mixing bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. (You can chill longer - even overnight - if that's more convenient.)
Remove dough from fridge, preheat oven to 375, and roll out dough to form 24 cookies - 12 on each baking pan. (If you aren't using USA Pans as your cookie sheets, you may want to consider laying down parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking.)
Bake one pan at a time for 9 minutes at 375 & remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pans for about 10-15 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to completely cool before transferring them to an airtight container.
ENJOY! Share with friends & family - they'll love 'em!
Notes
*If you'd rather just use one kind of chocolate chip vs. both, you definitely can. I just love the combo of the dark + the semisweet. If you choose to just use one, simply use 2 c of that kind.
These cookies freeze well! To freeze: place the cookies flat on a cookie sheet, place the sheet in the freezer for about 30 min, and then move the cookies into a plastic container with a lid & store in the freezer. To thaw: you can either set them out of the freezer for a couple of hours, or you can microwave them to speed up the thawing process. I've done both, especially if we're impatient for cookies. :)
You can easily half the batch if you want to just make a small amount. All of the instructions are the same, just halve the ingredients! :)
