Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) All-Purpose Flour, spooned and leveled
- ½ cup (45g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
- 1 cup (226g) Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) Light Brown Sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100g) Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 5 ounces (140g) Dark Chocolate Chunks (60-70% cacao)
- 4 ounces (115g) Milk Chocolate Chips or Chunks
- 3 ounces (85g) White Chocolate Chips or Chunks
Instructions:
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In the stand mixer, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Scrape down the sides.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the dark, milk, and white chocolate chunks using a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Cover the dough tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, ideally 24 hours, to deepen flavour and manage spread.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Use a large cookie scoop (about 3 tbsp) to portion dough balls. Place 6 cookies per sheet, ensuring ample space between them.
- Optionally, press a few extra chocolate chunks onto the top of each dough ball for presentation.
- Bake for 11–14 minutes. Cookies should look slightly set on the edges but remain puffy and slightly underdone in the centre.
- Let cookies rest on the hot baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
