Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies

For Christmas I got several cookbooks, and two of them were cookies only. Having a look through them makes me want to make 90% of the cookies in them, but I never get around to try them out. Especially not after I tried one recipe in one of them. Triple chocolate chip cookies. It just can't be wrong. After I tried these out the first time, I hardly wanted to share them with anyone. But I was good and sent them back to my extended family after having my other half visiting. These are simply delicious!

Ingredients:
225 g soft butter
140 g sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
225 g all purpose flour
55 g cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
100 g milk chocolate drops
100 g white chocolate drops
100 g dark chocolate drops
Small handful of roughly chopped hazel nuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 190 °C
2. Mix sugar and butter in a bowl. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract.
3. Sift in flour, cocoa powder and salt and mix.
4. Add all the chocolate drops and nuts and mix them in evenly.
5. Form the dough into flattened balls in the size you want them and put them on baking trays clad in baking paper (non-stick version). Makes 12 very big, or up to 20 quite big cookies.
6. Bake in the middle of the oven for 12-15 minutes. Leave them to rest for 5-10 minutes on the baking tray before moving them.


Irresistible and simply delicious!
