Ingredients
To make Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies you will need: butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, espresso powder, and all three types of chips!
- Butterscotch Chips
- White Chocolate Chips
- Chocolate Chips
As for the espresso powder, I highly recommend using it if you have it on hand. It intensifies the flavors of the cookie without adding a coffee flavor to the batter.
How to Make Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies
Triple Chocolate Chip cookies are easy to make and a great alternative to traditional chocolate chip cookies. These cookies are great for gifting, cookie exchanges, or just when you want a delicious treat.
You can make this cookie in either your stand mixer or using a handheld mixer. To start, you will need to preheat your oven and line you baking sheets with parchment; set aside.
Step 1: cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Then, add in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. No need to mix the dry ingredients separately; you can just add them to the wet and mix with a hand mixer.
Step 2: add in the chips. Here, I use an equal amount of butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, and chocolate chips. In addition, I add in a teaspoon of instant espresso powder. You can omit the instant espresso powder if you want, but I urge you to try it if you have it. It really brings out the flavors of the chips. And, yes, you can always substitute just regular instant coffee if you have only that.
Step 3: Lastly, use a cookie scoop to roll the cookies into about 1 and half inch balls. Be sure to squeeze the dough together to get the chips to stick. Then, press in any remaining chips that are left at the bottom of the bowl.
Step 4: Bake these cookies low and slow; 300 degrees for 20 minutes. Be sure to rotate the cookie sheets while the cookies are baking.
Let cool on a wire rack. These cookies can be frozen up to a month in an airtight container. Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfect for a cookie exchange or just a sweet treat to have around.
Recipe Tips and FAQs
- Always use room temperature butter. It will help blend the sugars and make the cookie fluffier.
- If you don’t have instant espresso powder, you can substitute regular ground coffee or omit it entirely.
- Have only one or two of the chips mentioned? Just substitute extra of the other chips.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them extra fresh. You can also freeze in an airtight container for up to a month.
Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with butterscotch, white chocolate, and milk chocolate chips.
