Triple Chocolate Cookies

These Triple Chocolate Cookies are perfect in every way!

Three triple chocolate cookies, stacked



I had a dream last night that I was back in high school.

With permy hair and Guess jeans.

In my dream I went to the early 90’s version of William McKinley High School.

So among the denim jackets and Polo Shirts there was singing and choreography.

Performances of songs made famous by Ace of Base and Sammy Hagar Van Halen were received by the graduating class of 1993 with standing ovations and high fives.

It was kinda awesome…until…

[Enter the villian]

There she was in her red track suit.

No, it wasn’t Sue Sylvester.

It was a hard core mean girl from middle school.  She obviously still haunts me to this day.

She used to tease me in my 7th grade “Theater Arts” class…calling me “Shelly Belly” which, in retrospect, is quite frankly the lamest insult ever.

But I was not a “stand up against the bully” kinda girl.  I was a “please don’t notice me and call me Shelly Belly or draw any attention to my home permed hair and crooked pre-braces teeth” kind of girl.

SO, into the auditorium she walked.  She looked like her 7th grade self,  french braid and all…because from what I understand evil doesn’t age.

But instead of being scared of her making fun of my choreographed routine or throwing a Slushee in my face I promptly Body Slammed her into submission and put her in the Sleeper Hold until she apologized for years of torment.

It was the sweetest moment of redemption.

I woke up with I Saw the Sign in my head and a new found gumption…like I could WWE the heck out of anyone who dares call me Shelly Belly again.

I took my power back.

Anyway, so that was my dream last night.

Now here are some cookies that will put the belly back in your Shelly.

They are cozy. Feel free to drown your teenage scars in them.  They are understanding.

Start with 3 kinds of chocolate.

First you must chop chocolate.  Take the extra time.  It feels good.

This might be hard, but after you mix up your dough let it be.

Cover it with a nice blanket of cling wrap and give it a rest.

Think about all it’s just been through.

It was chopped, creamed, cracked and beaten.  Those ingredients need a little bit of time.

Because in a few hours they have some important work to do.

You wouldn’t go into the your life’s purpose after just being put through a stand mixer.

It needs a nap, an overnight is good too.

After nap time you bake.

And then you eat.

I am a firm believer that a good chocolate chip cookie will solve a world of problems.

  1. These cookies look wonderful; I will make them for next months garden club, when I hostess the ladies. I also make a triple chocolate fudge thats wonderful and am asked for the recipe continuesly.

    Thanks again,

  2. I just smashed my knuckles on my computer screen while trying to pluck one of those gorgeous cookies off the top of that delicious pile of heaven in the last photo.

    And that was the longest sentence in the world.

    I bet one of those triple chocolate chip cookies would help me. Or 3….

  3. Triple chocolate, now that will get my attention! Also, my husband just baked for the first time ever…and I’m not home at the moment…he proudly told me he used the KitchenAid for the first time ever and then told me he thought his butter was a bit cold and described it “like a brick in a washing machine”, I’m still dying laughing over here. Baking humor… but oh how I love him.

  4. I am cracking up right now!!! This brought back so many fond memories as I am a graduate of the class of 1992! Thanks for sharing all your amazing stories and recipes. I truly L.O.V.E. your blog!

  5. I’ve seen this concept of refrigerating the dough prior to baking…I’ll give these a try for sure! Thanks for the great idea and excellent results. 🙂
