These amazing soft top cookies are so succulent and the triple chocolate is absolutely to die for!
They are perfectly chewy and combine cocoa powder, melted chocolate and chocolate chip for the ultimate soft chocolate chip cookie.
I’ve been baking these cookies since I was a little girl with my mom and I haven’t altered the recipe at all. You can’t improve on perfection as they say.
Every time I bite into one of these delightfully soft cookies I get the feeling I am tasting a combination of a soft baked cookie and a gooey fudge brownie. It’s truly a dream come true for the rich chocolate cookie lover and it’s one of my favorite soft baked cookie recipes hands down.
You will notice the difference as soon as your prepare your dough. It falls between the consistency of brownie batter and cookie dough. You will bake no better cookie for the absolute chocolate lover.
