Imagine that aroma carrying hints of rich cocoa and melted chocolate—it’s enough to make anyone’s mouth water! These Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies are the ultimate treat for chocolate lovers, and trust me, they’re every bit as dreamy as they sound.

These cookies have it all—soft, chewy centers, crisp edges, and a melt-in-your-mouth trio of white, milk, and dark chocolate chips in every bite. Whether you’re baking these for an after-school snack, a weekend baking project, or just to satisfy your sweet tooth, they’re guaranteed to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.

I’ve made these cookies so many times, and every single time, they vanish faster than I can plate them! My kids practically circle the oven, peeking through the glass to see if they’re done. And I can’t blame them—there’s something magical about biting into a warm, gooey cookie loaded with pockets of melted chocolate.

But here’s the best part—these cookies are incredibly easy to make, even if you’re not a seasoned baker. The dough comes together in minutes, and with just a little patience (because chilling the dough is so worth it!), you’ll be rewarded with bakery-style cookies that look as good as they taste.

And let me tell you a secret—these cookies aren’t just for kids. They’re perfect for bake sales, potlucks, holiday cookie swaps, or even as a special midnight treat just for you. Because let’s face it, we all deserve a little indulgence now and then.

So, grab your mixing bowls and let’s make some magic in the kitchen. Don’t worry—I’ll guide you through every step, and before you know it, your house will smell like chocolate heaven!

Ingredients

1/2 cup + 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/3 cup white granulated sugar

1 medium egg

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

2 cups plain flour (all-purpose flour)

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Cream the butter and sugars.
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the wet ingredients.
   Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Combine the dry ingredients.
   In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
4. Mix the dough.
   Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
   Add the white, milk, and dark chocolate chips and gently fold them into the dough. This is where little hands love to help—just make sure they don’t eat all the chocolate before it goes in the cookies!
6. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
   Why chill the dough? Refrigerating the dough helps solidify the butter, so the cookies won’t spread too much while baking. It also deepens the flavor and gives the cookies that bakery-style chewiness we all love.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   Once the dough has chilled, preheat your oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Weigh and shape the dough.
   For uniform cookies, weigh the dough into 65-gram balls. If you’re in the mood for bakery-style jumbo cookies, you can make larger portions—75–100 grams each—just remember to add an extra minute or two of baking time.
9. Bake for 12–15 minutes.
   Bake until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. They’ll firm up as they cool.
10. Cool and enjoy!
    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Or, if your kids are anything like mine, don’t be surprised if they sneak one while it’s still warm and gooey!

Why Everyone Loves These Cookies

Kids absolutely go crazy for these cookies, but don’t be surprised if the adults can’t resist them either. From the triple layers of chocolate to the soft and chewy texture, they’re impossible to say no to.

And the best part? They’re so versatile! Make them smaller for lunchbox treats, bake larger ones for parties, or even add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an elevated flavor.

Whenever I bake these, I always have to set a few aside, or they’ll disappear before they even cool down. It’s no wonder my family calls these the “gone-in-a-flash cookies.”
