  • 175 g (1 ¼ cup) plain / all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 100 g (¾ cup) dark chocolate chunks / chips
  • 100 g (¾ cup) white chocolate chunks / chips

Equipment

  • Freestanding mixer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand held mixer
  • Measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • baking tray
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 170C/160C Fan and line 2 or 3 baking trays with baking/greaseproof paper.
Melt the butter and chocolate
  1. Break the chocolate into small pieces and pop it in a small saucepan.
    Weigh out the butter and cut it into small pieces. Add it to your saucepan..
  2. Allow the chocolate and butter to melt slowly, stirring it occasionally.
    Once it's melted and nice and smooth, set it aside to cool for now.
Mix the eggs and sugar
  1. Weigh the sugar and add it to the bowl of your free-standing mixer or a large mixing bowl.
    Break the eggs into a small bowl before adding them to your mixing bowl. We never add eggs straight in just in case any shell goes in. If/when it does, simply fish it out with a teaspoon or larger piece of shell.
  2. Add the vanilla extract.
  3. Using the k-paddle attachment of your mixer, a hand held whisk or wooden spoons, beat the eggs and butter together until they are light and fluffy.
  4. Add the cooled melted chocolate and butter mixer. Continue mixing everything on a slow speed until it is thoroughly combined.
Add the dry ingredients
  1. Measure the flour, baking powder and salt into your small bowl. Make sure you use their finger to level the teaspoons before adding the baking powder and salt so that you add just the right amount.
  2. Add the flour mixture to your mixing bowl, a little at time, mixing it in between each addition. Keep beating it with your k-paddle or mixer until it is well combined.
Add the chocolate chips
  1. Once you have a nice cookie dough, pour in both the white and dark chocolate chips, keeping a few back to add later. Stir them in with a spatula or wooden spoon until they are well dispersed.
Make the triple chocolate cookies
  1. Dollop around 5 or 6 equal amounts of cookie mixture onto each of your baking trays (this makes about 12 -15 cookies in total). Make sure the cookies are spaced apart as they’ll spread a little in the oven.
    Add some of the leftover chocolate chips to the top of each cookie.
  2. Pop the baking trays into the fridge for 15 minutes or so, to stop the cookies spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the triple chocolate cookies
  1. Pop your baking trays in the oven for 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them after they’ve been in for 10 minutes. They’re ready when the tops start to crack and they look glossy. They’ll feel a little soft when they come out of the oven which is fine, as long as they’re not too soggy in the middle.
  2. Remove the cookies from the oven and leave them to cool on the baking trays for a few minutes before putting them on a wire rack to cool completely.
