You know exactly what I’m talking about with these Triple Chocolate Cookies. If you’re anything like me, no supermarket shop is complete without some baked goods. But what if I told you that you can recreate those supermarket bakery style cookies at home? And in less than an hour, in one bowl, without any chilling required?!
The name “Boyfriend Cookies” comes from the fact these are the first thing I ever baked for my partner, and still his favourite bake. These cookies come together so easily, and in no time at all – with no fridge chill required. This means that you could go from cookie craving to cookie eating in no time at all. I recommend adding a good amount of chocolate chunks to these so that every bite is crammed with chocolate goodness. Feel free to use your favourite chocolate and double up the quantity if you really want to go for it!
For a different cookie recipe, check out these Everything but the Kitchen Sink Cookies, they’re full of delicious things and great to use up odds and ends, or for more chocolatey bakes, try these Fudgy Brownies! I bake these cookies on classic sheet pans (like these) and always opt for silicone baking mats (these are the ones I use) as they’re better for the planet! For videos, head on over to my Instagram.
Storage/Freezing: You can freeze the cookie dough to remove and bake at a later date. Let the dough come to room temp prior to baking, or add a few minutes to the bake time. Once cooked, keep in an airtight container for about 3 days.
Some of my cookie tips to get them picture perfect:
– Pre Bake: Reserve some chocolate chunks to place on top of the batter once they’ve been scooped onto trays ready to bake. Sprinkle these bits of chocolate on top so that they’re really visible after baking!
– Post Bake: As cookies tend to shift and change in the oven, to get perfect circles use a large circular object (large mug/glass/base of a bowl etc) and place around each cookie and gently spin in circles. You need to do this as soon as possible after baking, while they’re still malleable.
– Baking and Bake Time: These will puff up in the oven, then settle after baking so don’t panic if they look a tiny bit underbaked/puffy when you first take them out. They will release air as they cool, forming those gorgeous crinkles.
Triple Chocolate Cookies – (Better than) Supermarket Bakery Style
Ingredients
- 110 g Unsalted Butter Softened
- 100 g Light Brown Sugar
- 100 g Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Medium Egg
- 160 g Plain Flour
- 30 g Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 150 g White Chocolate Chopped
- 100 g Milk Chocolate Chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line 2/3 large baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar until fully creamed (use an electric mixer or the paddle attachment on medium speed). Then add the egg and vanilla and mix again.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and the pinch of salt! Stir together until just combined. Add in the chocolate chunks (or use chocolate chips, either are fine!). Reserve some choc to sprinkle on top prior to baking
- Use a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop to scoop the batter onto the trays – approximately 3/4 cookies per tray – they spread A LOT! Don't worry if your cookie dough looks a little runnier than standard cookie dough – it's what makes these so decadent! Scatter the reserved chocolate over the top.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove trays and leave to cool. Repeat for remaining batter. They will continue to cook a little once out of the oven, so don't wait until they get too dark!
