Ingredients and substitutions for Triple Chocolate Cookies
- Butter: Unsalted butter is used for the cookie, but if all you have on hand is salted, that works as a fine substitute, just leave out any salt suggested in the recipe.
- Sugars: The brown sugar helps to make the cookies chewy, and superfine or caster sugar helps balance the sweetness alongside the black cocoa. These make a great combination, though you could completely replace with brown sugar.
- Eggs: The egg binds and adds structure to our cookies resulting in that soft interior that compliments the sugar and butter.
- Flour: Plain or all purpose flour is best for a nice light cookie crumb.
- Black cocoa powder: Black cocoa powder was used here otherwise known as Dutch processed which does taste different from regular cocoa powder in that it has a real deep cocoa taste that lends itself to being more earthy which makes it work perfectly with the white chocolate chunks. The black cocoa gives the cocoa cookie a real Oreo flavor which compliments the white chocolate perfectly. If you do not have black cocoa powder, plain cocoa powder also works a charm here.
- Baking powder: This helps our cookies rise so they are not stodgy.
- Chocolate: 56% dark chocolate block was used here because it is less sweet and higher quality than baking chocolate and controls the level of sweetness in the cookies better. The white chocolate used here has 28% cocoa butter which is a higher quality and melts better into the dough.

Equipment needed to make a batch
Mixing bowl: You’ll need a medium mixing bowl to make the cookie dough.
Greaseproof paper: Lining your baking tray will make getting the soft cookies off easy.
Hand or stand mixer: To whip the dough, this is best done with a mixer to get as much air as possible into the moist ingredients.
Ice Cream Scoop: The size of the scoop used here is 4cm or 1.57 inches to create the perfect small scoop of each cookie dough. If you don’t have one this size a great substitute would be a tablespoon which would create a similar sized half cookie.
