A YouTube Baking Classic
If you were anywhere near the internet a few years ago, you already know that this recipe completely took the online world by storm. I first saw Tanya Burr bake these on her YouTube channel, and I knew instantly that I had to recreate them in my own kitchen. Re-reading this archive post brings back all the cosy baking motivation. And honestly, who can resist a giant, chocolate treat?
Let’s face it: there is absolutely nothing better than the smell of fresh cookies wafting through the house on a quiet afternoon. What is there not to love about this recipe? They are packed completely full of three types of chocolate, and taste like absolute heaven.
After seeing these pop up all over my social media feeds back then, I knew it was time to share the magic on the blog. This mixture makes roughly 12 massive, chunky cookies. You could easily split the dough into smaller portions if you prefer, but I am a firm believer that a big, thick cookie is always superior.
If you want to master the art of the perfect sweet treat, here is exactly how to bake the ultimate triple chocolate cookies.
The Ingredients:
Before you get started, make sure your butter is at room temperature so it creams smoothly with the sugar.
-
-
200g Unsalted Butter
-
300g Caster Sugar
-
1 Large Egg
-
275g Self-Raising Flour
-
75g Cocoa Powder
-
100g Each of Milk, Dark, and White Chocolate (broken into chunks)
-
A dash of Milk (Optional, only if needed)
-
The Method
Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F / Gas Mark 6). Line two large baking trays with high-quality greaseproof paper to prevent any sticking.
Step 2: Beat the Base
In a large mixing bowl, beat your unsalted butter and caster sugar together until the mixture is light, pale, and fluffy. Crack in the large egg and continue mixing until the batter is completely smooth.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
Sift in the self-raising flour and cocoa powder, mixing steadily into the wet base.
Tip: If your dough feels a little too stiff or dry, add a tiny splash of milk to loosen it up. However, you might not need it at all.
Step 4: Add the Chocolate Loaded Mix
Break up your milk, dark, and white chocolate bars into generous chunks, and fold them thoroughly into the dough so every bite is evenly loaded.
Step 5: Shape the Dough
Divide the cookie dough into 12 equal-sized balls, and place them onto your lined trays. Gently press down on the top of each ball to squash them slightly. Make sure to leave plenty of room between them, as these cookies will spread and grow in the oven!
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for exactly 11 minutes. They will still look quite soft when you pull them out, but they will firm up beautifully as they set.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Leave them on the hot tray for a few minutes before carefully transferring them onto a wire cooling rack.
The Final Verdict
Learning how to bake these triple chocolate cookies is a total game changer for your recipe book. They have the most incredible rich flavour, a beautifully gooey centre, and a slightly crisp edge that makes them completely irresistible.
