Outrageous Triple Chocolate Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe incorporates softened butter beaten with brown sugar, then enriched with egg yolks, vanilla, and glucose syrup to create a smooth base. Flour, baking powder, and Dutch-processed cocoa powder provide the chocolate structure, while white and dark chocolate chips add contrasting bursts of sweetness and bittersweet flavor. The dough is stiff, shaped into flattened balls, then baked slightly underdone and allowed to finish setting on the tray for maximum chewiness.
The texture is dense with a chewy center and slightly crisp edges. The combination of three chocolates delivers a complex chocolate experience without overwhelming sweetness. The glucose syrup is pivotal to the chew factor, making these cookies distinct from standard recipes.
These cookies store well for a few days, with chewiness improving after resting, and can be made with variations in chocolate types or cocoa powder according to availability. They are suited for serving as a rich treat or with coffee.
Handling notes include using room temperature eggs and butter, and sticking to weight measurements for best results across different countries.
Ingredients
- 60g / 4 tbsp butter softened, unsalted
- 2/3 cups (120g) brown sugar , tightly packed
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 egg at room temperature (Note 4 for using leftover whites, yolk
- 2 tbsp glucose (sub light corn syrup, Note 1)
- 1 cup (150g) flour , plain/all purpose
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder , unsweetened, preferably Dutch processed (Note 2)
- 3/4 cup (150g) white chocolate chips (Note 3)
- 1/2 cup (100g) dark chocolate chips (Note 3)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190C/375F (170C fan) with one shelf in the middle and another under it.
- Use a bowl at room temp, not ice cold glass/metal (butter will go hard).
- Place butter in bowl and beat until smooth - about 30 seconds on speed 5.
- Add sugar and beat for 45 sec to 1 min until light and fluffy.
- Add yolks, beat until fully incorporated (~20 sec).
- Add vanilla and glucose, beat until incorporated (~15 sec).
- Add flour, baking powder and cocoa. Stir with wooden spoon until incorporated (will be a stiff dough).
- Mix through chocolate chips.
- Scoop / roll 12 balls a touch smaller than a golf ball, then flatten to 1cm / 2/5" thick on baking trays (2 trays).
- Bake both trays for 10 minutes.
- Take top tray out, move tray underneath to top shelf and bake a further 1 minute then remove. The cookies will look ever so slightly undercooked in the centre - they will finish cooking on the tray (this is how we make them chewy!)
- Leave cookies to cool on the tray for 20 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack.
- Allow to cool fully before serving (becomes chewy when cools, even better the next day!)
Notes
- Using glucose syrup (or light corn syrup) enhances chewiness not typical of homemade cookies.
- Substitutions like golden syrup or molasses may work but are untested in this recipe.
- Egg yolks only (no whites) increase richness; leftover whites can be used in other recipes.
- Storing cookies in an airtight container maintains chewiness up to three days; chewiness improves after resting overnight.
- Pull cookies slightly underdone to maintain a soft, chewy center as they finish baking on the tray.
- Stick to provided weight measurements for best results across different measuring standards.
