Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies are chewy and loaded with chocolatey goodness in every nook and cranny.
Chocolate is packed into every bite of these cookies. Mini chocolate chips fill every nook and cranny. Chocolate chunks add nuggets of chocolatey goodness, and bittersweet chocolate chips embellish the tops. These cookies are chewy and maxed out with chocolate. Exactly what I love in a chocolate chip cookie.
I love almond and chocolate together, so I added some almond extract to the cookie dough, in addition to vanilla extract. It’s a little unexpected but it adds another layer of deliciousness to these cookies. If you aren’t a fan of almond extract, simply add a total of 1 1/4 teaspoons of vanilla extract. As for the sweetness, both dark and light brown sugar can be used. I prefer dark brown sugar for its deeper caramel-like flavor, and it also contributes to the chewy texture.
This dough requires time to chill, but cold dough spreads less when baked. And less spreading means thicker, chewier cookies. I often put the sheet pans of dough in the freezer for 20 minutes. The dough can also be chilled in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Bake the cookies until lightly brown around the edges and slightly underdone in the middle. The cookies will set up as they cool, but this slight underbaking helps with the chewy factor.
These cookies have chocolate in every single bite which makes them the perfect choice to cure those chocolate cravings! If you bake these cookies, please leave a comment below and tag me on Instagram @mycasualpantry so I can see what you’re baking in your kitchen.
