Ingredients and substitutions for Triple Chocolate Cookies
- Butter: Unsalted butter was used, but salted also works as a fine substitute. Simply 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 otherwise known as Dutch processed which tastes different from regular cocoa powder. With a real deep cocoa taste that is similar to Oreo cookies and balances with the sweet white chocolate chunks 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: The chocolate chunks use 56% dark chocolate block because it is less sweet and higher quality than baking chocolate. It also 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.

How to make Triple Chocolate Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Place the butter and sugars into a bowl and beat on medium until pale and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes with an electric mixer.

Add the egg and vanilla extract continue to beat until well combined, beating for a further minute.

Separate out your dough into two equal portions (this is best done with a scale).
Into the chocolate chip cookie portion, toss in 124 grams / ¾ cup + 2 teaspoons of the plain flour, 4 grams / 1 teaspoon baking powder and ⅛ teaspoon salt into your cookie batter.
Combine on low until no dry portions remain in your bowl.
Toss in ⅔'s of the chocolate chunks and stir to combine.
For the cocoa cookies, toss 90 grams / ½ cup + 1 tablespoon plain flour, 4 grams / 1 teaspoon baking powder, ⅛ teaspoon salt and cocoa powder.
Combine on low until no dry portions remain in your bowl.
Toss in ⅔'s of the white chocolate chunks and stir to combine.

Take a heaped tablespoon amount of the chocolate cookie dough and a heaped tablespoon amount of the cocoa cookie dough.
Lightly press the two doughs together and roll into a ball in your hands.
Press a few dark chocolate chunks into the chocolate chip cookie half and a few white chocolate chunks into the cocoa half.
Press lightly to flatten and place on your tray.
Repeat with the remaining dough, allowing a 1 ½ inch gap between each cookie.
Bake for 14 minutes or until lightly golden at the edges.

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.
