Gooey, crunchy, soft and moreish triple chocolate chip cookies that are perfect for any cookie lover!
Triple chocolate recipes
If you mention anything triple chocolate to me, I am immediately more interested and I pay attention. There is something about adding all of the chocolate you can to a bake that I adore. My no-bake triple chocolate cheesecake is one of my favourite recipes ever (THE LAYERS ARE AWESOME), but you can’t be a triple chocolate cookie. Like honestly, there is nothing better.
Well, I mean using these cookies are the base of the no-bake triple chocolate cheesecake would be incredible… maybe I will do that next time. I have so many other recipes out already of the triple chocolate variety, but a classic chocolate chip cookie is just something I can’t miss.
Triple chocolate chip cookies
Now, I have already done many a cookie recipe in my time, such as my chocolate oat cookies, and my chocolate orange cookies… but I realised I have never put up my main go-to recipe for cookies (that I bake almost twice a week these days!). Honestly, they’re cookie perfection and such an adaptable recipe.
These cookies are what I based the recipe for my chocolate orange cookies on as this recipe is utterly delicious and so versatile that it beautifully turned into them too. These cookies are perfect just out of the oven when warm and gooey, or when left to cool they are IDEAL with a glass of cold milk or a cuppa – basically, they go with anything at any time on any day.
Cookie dough
This cookie dough is similar to other recipes that I have already published. They’re designed to be a super simple go-to recipe for a simple triple chocolate cookie that you don’t need to prep much, or chill before baking.
- Butter – you can use block butter at room temperature or a baking spread
- Sugars – I use a mixture of light brown sugar and white granulated sugar for a delicious mix of flavours and a good texture
- Egg – I only use one medium egg, but one large works
- Flavour – vanilla is always optional, but I love it added in
- Cocoa – I use a strong cocoa powder for the flavour as well as the darkness of the cookies that come out
- Flour – I use plain flour to prevent too much raising agent, but you can use self raising if you leave out the other raising agents. They may just spread more
- Raising agents – a little touch of baking powder, and bicarb, to get the crinkle texture
- Salt – optional, but I genuinely believe salt is WONDERFUL in cookies
Chocolate
These cookies get the crinkle effect from the types of sugars used and the amount of chocolate used! You can always put less chocolate chips in if that takes your fancy, or even have them plain, but I am an utter chocoholic so always put in the maximum.
I often use actual chocolate chips that you can buy in the baking isle to make them super easier, but you can use chunks of a bar to get a more chocolatey pocket which is just YUM. Also, you don’t have to use all of the flavours. You can use any combination that you prefer – or an entirely other type of chocolate. You can switch up the flavourings you add as well to make chocolate orange, mint chocolate, etc.
Bake
I make the cookie dough up in my stand mixer, but a hand mixer or a spatula and a bowl does work. I then use a 5cm scoop to portion my cookies onto my lined trays. I use large trays, and only put 6 per tray to make sure that they have room to spread. I don’t chill the cookie dough myself, but if you have a tray that can’t fit in the oven yet, you can just put them in the fridge for now.
You could bake them for a couple minutes longer to get a crunchier outside, but still have a gooey outside, which I often do, or even bake them for a minute less to have the gooiest and softest cookies in the world. I realise that everyone likes their cookies done slightly differently to the next person, so these are all about the baking time.
Tips & Tricks
If you bake these for a minute longer, you can use them for a cookie sandwich and put a scoop of ice cream inside, and you end up with the most delicious dessert for a comfy night in.
I’ve updated this recipe to suit my newer, and more up to date style – this consisted of switching the flour from self raising to plain, and increasing the amount slightly! The original is still just as tasty, however, I love the newer version too. Find the original in the notes section!
These cookies will last for 5+ days at room temperature, or freeze baked for 3+ months. You can also freeze the raw cookie dough, and bake when you want freshly baked cookies.
I hope you love this recipe! Enjoy! x
Triple Chocolate Chip Crinkle Cookies!
Ingredients
- 125 g unsalted butter
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 100 g white granulated sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 25 g cocoa powder
- 225 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 100 g white chocolate chips
- 100 g milk chocolate chips
- 100 g dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan/375F and line two-four baking trays with parchment paper. Mine are quite large trays (40cm) to make sure the cookies don't touch!
- Mix together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy and thoroughly combined! Using an electric mixer is far easier for this because it gets very fluffy and perfect!
- Mix in the vanilla and the egg until thoroughly combined, then mix in the cocoa powder, flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt until a thick paste/cookie dough is formed.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, and spoon the mixture onto the trays and make sure they are suitable spread out so they stay separate! (I usually fit 6-8 on each tray to be safe) I also use a 5cm cookie dropper/ice cream scoop to make them identical sizes.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until spread out perfectly crinkly. A minute or so less will be gooey, a minute or two more will be beautiful and crunchy.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and gobble them all up - don't burn yourself on the chocolate!
Notes
- TOP TIP - If they look a little too domed for you still when they're fresh out the oven, tap the tray's onto the work surface a couple of times and the cookies will flatten out a smidge - leave to cool fully on the tray still.
- They are super super gooey when warm so you could serve them with a dollop of ice cream if you like (vanilla is perfect with it) and they are an utter crowd pleaser.
- If you wanted to just use one type of chocolate you could as well, I just always stick to the same amount weight wise!
- I use this dark chocolate, this milk chocolate and this white chocolate!
- These cookie scoops are ideal for the job and have three sizes! I use the middle size for these cookies.
- These will last for 4-5 days after baking, but honestly they will be eaten before then.
- The mixture can be chilled before baking, and they can also be frozen raw or baked.
- Recipe updated August 2019
- Original recipe
- Everything is the same, apart from the original used to use 175g self raising flour instead of the 225g plain. I also used slightly less chocolate chips. Method and everything else is the same!
ENJOY!

These look amazing ! I’m going to make them now! Quick question- if I only want to make 8 cookies (the amount) is it okay is I just use half of all the ingredients listed?
The only thing about this is you can’t half the egg – I would honestly suggest making the full batch, but freezing the leftover for later!
I made your chocolate orange cookies today and they were delicious!! I just found this recipe which you’ve more recently updated from self raising to plain flour. would the 50g increase make a difference in flavour at all?
It won’t change the flavour no, it just changes the texture slightly!!
Very tasty cookies! Can I ask what cocoa powder you use?
I use cacao Barry as I bulk buy!
These are such amazing cookies!! I made them without the bicarbonate of soda and doubled the baking power and it worked a treat!
These were amazing, have added to my favourite recipes. Thanks so much for sharing!
This was an absolutely amazing recipe!!! Cannot recommend enough. They are the best cookies I’ve ever tasted. Beats any cookie you would buy from the shops. Thank you!!!!
Made these for family and everyone loved them! Delicious and chocolatey!! Great to store in the freezer and bake whenever you want too! 🍪😁
I’ve tried so many cookie recipes over the last few years but these are honestly the best I’ve ever had! Absolutely delicious and so quick and easy to make. They’re lucky to even last through an entire day in my house, my family can’t get enough!
Thanks Jane ❤️
If I wanted to make these gluten free, would I just need to change the flour?
Hello, make sure to check all ingredients but theoretically yes it should just be a straight swap xx
Hi, would I be able to use one large egg for this recipe? I can’t find any medium eggs in any of the shops nearby 🙁 thank you x
Yes that would be fine for these!
Another great recipe, they turned out so good! This is the only place I come for my recipes because they’re so well done that I get perfect results every time!
If you had a cook book it would be the only one in my kitchen! Thank you for the tasty cookies!
Thank you so much!
This is my go-to for triple choc chip! I was just wondering, if you removed the cocoa powder and substituted for more flour, would this recipe work ok as a normal cookie? Thanks 🙂
Hiya! I’m afraid it won’t, no. When baking cookies without cocoa powder, so a plain/vanilla cookie, they can spread a lot more. I suggest looking at my NYC cookies, but making them smaller and baking for less time! x
hi jane,
is this natural cocoa or dutch processed?
I use 100% cocoa powder – you can use whichever, but I generally use natural!
Is plain flour the same as all purpose flour?
Yes, it is!
These are delicious. Just made 2nd batch in 3 days!! Great for a treat during lockdown!!
Shame I cannot post a picture! The most gorgeous cookies made! Kiddies helped and loved them! They are big fans of Lidls cookies and these now beat them!
Good morning! Please can I ask… You said the mixture can be chilled….if I make the mixture today and chill and bake tomorrow will they still be OK? Just wanted to make sure chilling them that long doesn’t affect them x
Chilling raw cookie dough is fine!
