Chewy Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you’ve ever wanted both chewy brownies and chocolatey cookies, you’ll really appreciate these Chewy Triple Chocolate Cookies I’m sharing today. Reality is, I didn’t set out to make cookies that are reminiscent of chewy brownies. But when all was said and baked, that’s exactly what came out of my oven.
My boys and I are cookie monsters. Our favorites seem to change with the seasons, but we never turn down classic best-loved chocolate chip cookies or white chocolate macadamia cookies. Despite my cookie addiction, I vulnerably admit that I was never a fan of chocolate-chocolate chip cookies with cocoa in the batter. They always seemed tougher and drier than regular chocolate chip cookies. Looking back, it must have been that I simply never had the right one. That is the reason. Because these Chewy Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies have cocoa in the batter. And they get a Cookie of the Month award from me.
These Chewy Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies are chocolate-chocolate chip cookies with extras. With cocoa in the batter, white chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips, they are a triple threat for cookie lovers everywhere. Brownie fans will fall in love with these brownie-like cookies, with their thick and chewy bite. These dense yet soft cookies have a indulgently rich brownie feel; not cakey at all.
These Chewy Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies stay wonderfully soft for days, which is forever a plus. The brown sugar gives a depth of flavor and richness to the texture. Salted butter plus a dash of salt gives these sweet treats a delicious balance. I love white chocolate chips, so I used those in conjunction with milk chocolate chips, to offset the unsweetened cocoa in the batter. The result is phenomenal.
Enjoy!

Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- ½ tsp table salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ cup unsweetened real cocoa powder
- 1 cup salted butter, 2 sticks, slightly softened
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
- 2 large eggs, beaten at room temp
- 1 TB pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa.
- In another large bowl or the bowl of stand mixer, combine butter, both sugars, and vanilla. Beat on medium-high until it's as fluffy as it can get, scraping sides down periodically; about 3-4 minutes. Add beaten eggs and beat just to combine.
- Using rubber spatula, gently fold flour mixture into butter mixture just until batter is completely moistened. Fold in all white/chocolate chips.
- Wrap and chill dough until firm enough to handle, about 30 min to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Set aside parchment-lined (or silicone-lined) baking sheets.
- Form dough into 1.5-inch balls. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheet and bake about 10-11 minutes. They'll be puffy and may seem a bit underdone, but will set up nicely when cool.
- Cool completely on wire rack and enjoy!
Notes
- Dough may be thick; I often use disposable gloves and mix the dough by hand. You can also use the hook or paddle attachment of your stand mixer to gently mix dough together.
- Feel free to use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Once you add the dry ingredients, mix just until the batter is moistened. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- For “pretty” cookies, save a handful of each type of chocolate chip to gently press onto the top of freshly baked, warm cookies.
- If you like your cookies crisper, bake them for 1-2 minutes longer. This will give them a nice crunch while still keeping them deliciously chewy on the inside.
- Be patient and allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. This helps them set and gives them the perfect texture.
