Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie

  4.8 – 12 reviews  • Drop Cookie Recipes

The canned orange buns are a kid favorite. But he preferred homemade. I created my own recipe after testing a few others and none of them earning his approval. My son gave me the recipe after giving it a thumbs up and a high five. Overnight preparation precedes morning baking of these.

Servings: 18
Yield: 3 dozen

Ingredients

  1. 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
  2. 1 cup butter, softened
  3. 1 egg
  4. 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  5. 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  6. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  7. ½ teaspoon salt
  8. 1 cup chopped walnuts
  9. 4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  10. 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
  11. 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  12. 3 teaspoons shortening
  13. 3 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
  14. 3 ounces milk chocolate
  15. 3 ounces white chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Cream the butter or margarine with the brown sugar until light. Add the egg and mix well.
  3. Stir in the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Mix in the nuts and the 4 ounces of the bittersweet, milk and white chocolates.
  4. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  5. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool slightly. Dip cooled cookies into the Three Chocolate Glaze.
  6. To Make Three Chocolate Glaze: Heat 1 teaspoon of the shortening with bittersweet chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Dip each cookie 1/2 inch deep into chocolate along one edge. Repeat with remaining shortening and chocolates. Rotate dipped edge of cookie for each type of chocolate.

This recipe was great!! I made over 2 dozen, so worth it!! This recipe isn’t too complicated, the glaze is optional. I couldn’t get the white chocolate to melt to a liquid but I did get it soft, and there weren’t chunks, what I ended up doing is this; I got my hands messy and I threw chunks of white chocolate onto the cookies!! They didn’t turn out bad looking, it was pretty cool. I would definite recommend, the glaze was so fun to drizzle on!!

My son-in-law always asks for these- thanks for posting!

This is one of very few recipes I don’t typically change the ingredients on! It is delicious and always a big hit. For the glaze, to make it easier, I carefully melt the chocolate in the microwave instead of on the stove. Three small bowls, melted chocolate and shortening, and I can go ahead and dip the cookies without changing containers or getting my hands too messy.

These were really good, however for not quite as good as the “Best Chocolate Chip Cookies” by Dora on this website. However, the addition of cinnamon was genious so I plan to include that in future choc chip cookies recipes. Note that I didn’t add the chocolate dipping.

This is the fourth New Years that I’m making these cookies and I think it’s only fair to give a new review (see below for original). I guess the first time I used walnuts and then I once left them out and the cookie is GREAT. I can’t even remember how many people begged for the recipe and how many requests for these cookies I get. Gift giving is extremely simplified when you have a recipe like this on hand 🙂 Thank you so much Lydia! (original post: Not at all what I was expecting – you put in nuts and that’s all you can taste…)

These cookies are AMAZING! My son made them as part of our cinnamon themed Top Chef meal. We used pecans instead of walnuts and to make it easy, I just bought bittersweet, milk and white chocolate chips. We didn’t even get around to the chocolate glaze – they were too good to wait. I’m sharing the recipe with all my friends!

Yum, what can I say! I loved the taste of the cinnamon… a sophisticated taste. I altered the recipe slightly and used butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips. I didn’t dip it in chocolate but instead drizzled chocolate and white chocolate over the tops of the cookies.

This Cookie Tastes Great

It was good, but I don’t think I’ll make it again – I think cinnamon was really at the fore instead of the three chocolates. Not that cinnamon and chocolate are a bad combination – but it’s very strong.

I LOVED this recipe!! i also didnt use nuts, but they turned out wonderfully! Thank you 🙂

Good cookie. I didn’t bother with the glaze and I left out the walnuts because my son hates nuts. Will probably reduce the amount of brown sugar next time because they were very sweet.
Rebecca Anderson
good
