Triple Chocolate Cookies

These are a true chocoholic’s cookie. They are essentially a cross between a brownie and a cookie, featuring a deep, dark chocolate flavor in the base cookie with layered dark, milk and white chocolate flavors coming from the abundance of chocolate chips folded into them.

This adaptation dates back to before I had acquired a kitchen scale so the most obvious change is a conversion from weight to volume measurements. When translating the measurements from weight to volume many of them came across as seemingly odd amounts, like 7 tablespoons of butter or 1.35 cups of chocolate, so I adjusted them to amounts that made more sense to me when working with volumes. I added in espresso powder to enhance the chocolate in the base dough and I might have increased the amount of chocolate chips (all 3 varieties) just a smidge.

The final change I made was to scale down the size of the cookies – my version is no longer giant. I wanted cookies that were more reasonable portion sizes, especially when sharing with my kiddos. Of course, scaled down cookies also means a shorter bake time which means there are cookies ready to eat sooner! I used a #30 scoop, which is just shy of 2 1/2 tablespoons. If you would prefer the giant version, you’ll want to use a #16 or a #12 scoop. This will get you closer to 12 cookies and you’ll need to bake them for 12-15 minutes.
