Hunka Hunka Triple Chocolate Cookies
Description
Hunka Hunka Triple Chocolate Cookies bring together cold butter creamed with sugar and eggs to create a creamy dough base enriched with cocoa powder. The addition of baking powder and salt balances texture and flavor. Chunks of both white and dark chocolate distribute throughout, melting into gooey pockets as the cookies bake. The oven temperature and baking time produce cookies with firm edges and a chewy center, showcasing distinct chocolate layers.
This cookie recipe suits occasions where a classic chocolate cookie is desired with added texture contrast from mixed chocolates. They bake into large spoonful portions, ideal for sharing or enjoying with a glass of milk or coffee.
Using high-quality cocoa powder, such as Callebaut or alternatives found in bulk, affects the final chocolate flavor intensity. Because the butter is cold when creamed, the method yields a denser, rich cookie that holds its shape well during baking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter, cold cut into small cubes
- 1 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder high quality
- 2 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
- 1 cup white chocolate chunks
- **Notes: I use Callebaut cocoa powder. It is high quality but it can be found for an incredibly low price at a Winco grocery store in their bulk bins. It's 4 times as much on Amazon. Trader Joe's has a nice cocoa powder as well.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 360 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream cold butter cubes and sugar for at least 4 minutes, scraping the bowl halfway through mixing.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add in vanilla.
- Stir in flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Stir in chocolate.
- Drop large spoonfuls onto cookie sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper.
- Cook for 10-14 minutes.
