Triple Chocolate Cookies
I am not gonna lie but I think I have come to the conclusion that these are literally the best cookies ever and may even be the best treat to bake. Firstly they are one of the easiest things to make, they take no time at all to bake and they are one of the gooiest, most chocolatey, melt in the mouth cookies ever! If that hasn't got you wanting to try these then I don't know what will. If you want them at their absolute gooiest (like weld your mouth together gooey) then 10 minutes after they come out of the oven is perfect as the chocolate is melted but it's not burning temperatures! However the best thing with these is that they only get better, even 4 or 5 days later they are still as soft and chewy. So if you like a crunchy small cookie then these are most definitely not for you!!
Makes 10
Ingredients:
200g unsalted butter
300g caster sugar
1 large egg
275g self raising flour
75g cocoa powder
Dash of milk (if needed)
Big bar or milk chocolate (i use dairy milk)
Big bar of white chocolate (I use milky bar)
Method:
1. Pre heat oven to 200 degrees and line 3 baking trays with baking paper.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
3. Add in the egg and beat in.
4. Add in the flour and cocoa powder and beat in until all combined. If the dough is really stiff then add in a tiny bit of milk. But the key with these cookies is that the dough is quite stiff so they don't spread too far when baked creating the domed shape cookie.
5. Open the chocolate and break it into the already marked pieces. I think the perfect amount is 4 pieces in each cookie. So I separate the chocolate into 10 piles of 4 pieces. I do 2 white pieces and 2 milk pieces per cookie however I had less white chocolate and so 2 of the cookies had 1 white and 3 milk pieces but it is entirely up to you how much you add. Also if you don't like white chocolate or you have a different favourite chocolate then you can easily add that instead.
6. Now the messy part. Using your hands separate the cookie dough into 10 equal parts (doesn't have to be completely even). Lay the 10 blobs out onto the prepared baking sheets.
7. Place 4 bits of chocolate onto each blob of cookie dough and push the pieces in and then roll into a smooth ball.
8. Spread the rolled chocolate balls evenly across the 3 baking sheets and then bake in the oven for 10 minutes 30 seconds. I have found this to be the perfect baking time for the cookie to spread out enough but leave a dome giving you the ultimate squidgy gooey cookie. Be warned they will look underdone when you take them out but if you leave them any longer they will go too hard once they firm up.
9. Leave to cool for at least 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack but be carful as they will still be quite fragile. All that's left to do is eat one and enjoy.
Happy baking
