The Story & Introduction
Hi, I’m Marilyn, 38, from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. Growing up, my grandmother taught me that chocolate was more than just an ingredient it was comfort, joy, and a way to make people smile. I remember sneaking small squares of dark chocolate while she wasn’t looking, then helping her bake cookies that filled the house with the sweetest aroma.
Now, whenever I bake these Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies, that same warm memory comes alive. These cookies are pure chocolate heaven rich, thick, and loaded with three kinds of chocolate: dark, milk, and white. Each bite melts in your mouth with a balance of deep cocoa flavor and creamy sweetness.
If you’ve ever wished your cookies tasted like the best bakery version chewy centers, crisp edges, and generous chunks of chocolate this is the recipe for you. What makes Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies special is the contrast: the bittersweet intensity of dark chocolate meets the smoothness of milk and the velvety sweetness of white chocolate.
I love baking these cookies on cozy evenings when the world feels a little too fast. The smell alone can turn any day around. Whether you’re baking them for your family, a get-together with friends, or simply to treat yourself, these cookies are guaranteed to make hearts melt just like the chocolate inside them.

Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make about 18 decadent Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
- 1 cup milk chocolate chunks
- 1 cup white chocolate chunks
Optional:
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder to enhance chocolate flavor
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Preheating ensures even baking and helps your cookies rise beautifully.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. The cocoa adds deep richness, while the soda helps the cookies stay soft and thick.
Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In another bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
This step creates that signature soft and chewy texture that makes triple chocolate chunk cookies irresistible.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined — overmixing can make your cookies tough.
Fold in all three types of chocolate chunks: dark, milk, and white. Each kind melts differently, giving these cookies their irresistible layered texture.
Step 5: Shape and Bake
Scoop large dough balls (about 3 tablespoons each) and place them on your prepared trays, leaving space between them.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are firm but the centers are still soft. Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies slightly warm with a tall glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast of cold and warm makes each bite magical.
