Dark Brown Sugar Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love these dark brown sugar triple chocolate chip cookies! They are sweet, just a touch salty and decadent. The outsides are perfectly crispy but give way to a chewy and melt in your mouth interior.

The dark brown sugar means more molasses in the cookie, which means a deeper flavor and a little more chew. Which translates to even more deliciousness in my opinion.

These cookies have a lot of chocolate in them, so they are rich but I love the blend of milk chocolate, dark or bittersweet chocolate and white chocolate. The slightly salty dough balances the sweetness from the milk and white chocolate and heightens the flavor for the dark chocolate without being too over powering.

When making any cookie that requires butter, I always suggest having the butter just colder than room temperature. So this means the butter is firm when pressed on but goes in when firmly pressed on. In my experience this results in the best cookie structure.

This dough also really benefits from a chill in the refrigerator before baking. I would say 30 minutes is sufficient to guarantee a cookie that bakes up just thick enough with crispy outsides and a gooey interior.

You can also bake these right after mixing up the dough but the cookies could be a little thinner. You can add a little more flour to the dough if you are running short on time.

This dough can also be scooped or rolled into ball and frozen on a cookie sheet until firm then placed into a zip lock bag for easy baking at anytime. Just bake straight from frozen and add about 5 minutes extra baking time.
