    Triple Chocolate Cookies: For Chocolate Emergency Situations

    Some cookies have chocolate. These cookies ARE chocolate.

    Storage Notes

    Room Temp:

    Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. They stay soft and fudgy.

    Freezer Friendly:

    Freeze dough balls for 3 months. Bake from frozen at 350°F for 12-14 minutes.

    Pro Tip:

    Underbake slightly for fudgier cookies. 10 minutes is perfect for gooey centers.
