Cook with Arthy shama: Triple Chocolate Cookies

These Triple Chocolate cookies are an awesome treat to kids and adults. Make them for a special occasion and be sure to earn yourself praiseworthy remarks. They are not made with creaming method, though, whole eggs are blended with sugar till they turn pale and fluffy. To this, our melted chocolate is folded with goodness of chopped milk chocolate and dark compound chips.

These cookies are thin crispy delight and melts away easily with an bitter after taste of Dark chocolate. And yes since these have dark chocolate, make sure to keep an eye on them during baking, because they get burnt very easily. My entire batch got muched away within days ;) Serve these with an cup of milk and they are great to go. Do try and let us know.

Melt Dark compound and Butter on an double boiler, set aside. In an dry bowl, break open an egg and add the sugar. Whisk to combine. Pre-heat the oven to 175 degree celsius.

Continue to beat on an high speed till they turn pale and fluffy. At this stage, if you remove the beater blades from the bowl, they should fall like ribbon.

At this stage, fold in melted chocolate and butter till they combine.

Now add in flour, milk compound and dark chocolate chips.

Fold them till they resemble an soft dough.
