Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat the oven to 170°C, (150°C, gas mark 3) and line 2 baking trays with baking parchment.

Melt the butter and the plain chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, then set to one side.

Alternatively melt in the microwave, in short bursts, stirring in between to avoid the chocolate burning. Microwave until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth in consistency.

In a large bowl beat together the eggs, sugars and vanilla extract until well mixed. Pour in the chocolate mixture and mix until well combined

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl and then add to the chocolate mixture in two batches, mixing thoroughly then stir in the white chocolate chunks and milk chocolate chips. 

The mixture will resemble a brownie batter as opposed to the solid cookie dough. This is correct so don't worry. 

Use a spoon to scoop the cookie mix and position on the baking sheet leaving plenty of space between each one. These cookies like to spread out in the oven. 

Your mixture should make 12 large cookies. If you prefer smaller cookies, reduce the amount of mixture that you scoop out.

Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until they start to crack on top and look shiny. Leave to cool on the trays for about 10 minutes then transfer onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

If you love these cookies as much as we do, why not try making a giant cookie cake using this mix next time?

Use a pizza tray or circular cake tin to help keep the shape whilst baking. You will need to bake the cookie for slightly longer so keep an eye on it in the oven.
