A triple-chocolate cookie shouldn't be a case of death by chocolate, but it
should be rich and intense.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

The classic triple-chocolate cookie combines unsweetened, bittersweet, and
semisweet chocolates. Balance is key in these soft and chewy cookies. They
should be packed with serious chocolate flavor, but shouldn’t be a case of death
by chocolate.The unsweetened chocolate adds intense, earthy chocolate flavor;
the bittersweet chocolate adds a sophisticated, rich chocolate flavor; and the
semisweet balances the two more bitter chocolates. With more than a pound of
chocolate in the recipe, the methods we typically use for cookies and brownies
produced cookies that were too wet and didn’t hold their shape. We got the best
results by beating the eggs and sugar together until fluffy, then adding the
melted chocolate and mixing in the dry ingredients last. Beating the eggs and
sugar for a few minutes gave the batter more structure and resulted in cookies
with a pleasantly crisp, meringue-like shell.Premium bittersweet bar chocolates
were too rich (and too greasy) for this recipe. Melted bittersweet chocolate
chips, which contain less fat than chocolate bars, worked much better. They
improved the batter by making it less fluid, yet also added the same grown-up,
not-too-sweet flavor as more expensive bar chocolates. We also added a little
coffee powder and vanilla to bolster the chocolate flavor. The cookies retain
their fudgy texture when cooled directly on the baking sheet, rather than on a
baking rack.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

*

The key to the fudgy texture of these cookies is letting them cool directly on
the baking sheets. Avoid using bittersweet bar chocolate--the cookies will be
too rich and won't hold their shape.


INSTRUCTIONS

1.

Melt unsweetened chocolate, bittersweet chips, and butter in heatproof bowl set
over saucepan of simmering water, stirring frequently, until completely smooth
and glossy. Remove bowl from pan and set aside to cool slightly.

2.

Stir coffee powder and vanilla extract together in small bowl until dissolved.
Beat eggs and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer at medium-high speed until
very thick and pale, about 4 minutes. Add vanilla-coffee mixture and beat until
incorporated, 20 seconds. Reduce speed to low, add chocolate mixture, and mix
until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.

3.

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in medium bowl. Using large rubber
spatula, fold flour mixture and semisweet chips into batter. Cover bowl with
plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes until batter
firms up (it will more closely resemble thick brownie batter than cookie dough).

4.

Meanwhile, adjust two oven racks to upper- and lower-middle positions and heat
oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using 1
heaping tablespoon batter per cookie, place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared
baking sheets. Bake until cookies are shiny and cracked on top, 11 to 14
minutes, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through
baking time. Transfer baking sheets to racks and cool cookies completely, on
baking sheets, before serving.
