Triple Threat Chocolate Chip Cookies


These are cookies that are best served warm straight out of the oven!!!


Preheat Oven to 350 degrees while you get the following ingredients together:


2 1/3 c. flour
3/4 c. Hershey's Cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 c. granulated sugar
1 c. PACKED brown sugar
1 c. white chocolate chips
1 c. milk chocolate chips
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp. vanilla
1 extra large egg or 2 small
2 tbsp. half and half
2 1/2 sticks of butter

I like to sift the cocoa, as well as the flour, to ensure there are no lumps!Add the salt and baking soda to the                                                     flour and cocoa. Mix well and set aside.

                                Next, combine the butter and sugars and mix until light and fluffy.

                                                   At this time, add the egg and vanilla.

Ready to add the dry mixture.  This should be done gradually. The consistency  will be heavy and dense.
When the dry is combined with the butter mixture, add a few tablespoons of half and half. It will make it a little creamier, too. Now, the fun part, slowly add the chocolate chips!!


I am fortunate enough to have a little helper!!!  This is an awesome recipe for kids to get involved with.  When all of the chips have been added, it will end up accumulating all around the batter bar if you are using an electric mixer.  Take a spoon or a rubber spatula and remove all of it.

With a scoop or spoon, form into balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. 
If you do not have parchment, no worries, I just find it also saves time in the cleanup process!!
 The final step is sprinkling the top with a little sugar and pressing them down with a glass.  Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!!  


The recipe will yield 2 1/2 dozen of the yummiest cookies you'll ever eat if you are a chocolate lover!! Our daughter, Tara, who is very fussy about her food, said they are the best cookies she's ever eaten. WOW!
Like I said at the outset, they are best served warm and with a cold glass of milk!! They reheat nicely in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds!!  

Enjoy!!!
I hope they work for you!!
