BETTER than Byron Bay Triple Chocolate Cookies
Yeah, that’s a BIG call……and totally obnoxious to say. But I’m standing by it!!!😇 Byron Bay Cookies are Australia’s favourite cafe cookies. And after sharing a copycat of the popular White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies, it was inevitable that the next target would be their mighty chocolate ones. (Update: followed by Byron Bay Choc Chunk Cookies!) They promise to be fudgy and loaded with chocolate chunks. I bought one (two, three!) …. and you know what? I was disappointed. They weren’t fudgy at all – in fact, the texture was kind of crumbly like Shortbread – and had less chocolate in it than I expected. So I ditched them. And decided to make my own “perfect” Triple Chocolate Cookies.
What they taste like
These Triple Chocolate Cookies are:
VERY chocolatey – with 3 chocolate hits in the form of cocoa for the cookie dough, dark AND white chocolate chips. 40% of the cookie is chocolate!! Crispy on the edges – so you know you’re eating a cookie rather than raw cookie dough (though I know there are plenty of cookie dough fans out there!) Chewy on the inside thanks to a secret ingredient… GLUCOSE! Stole that idea from the ingredients of the packet of one of Triple Chocolate Cookies that I used as my muse. 🙂
PS When I say these cookies are chewy, I really do mean chewy as opposed to fudgy and soft, like brownies.
What you need
A LOT of chocolate. And not much else. 😂 Leftover egg whites – Here’s my list of what I do with them and all my egg white recipes can be found in this recipe collection.
How to make them
Nothing tricky or unusual with the making part. Impatient bakers will be happy to hear that there’s no refrigeration needed. And those without an electric beater or stand mixer will be happy to hear that with a bit of an arm workout, these cookies can be made with just a wooden spoon (a beater just makes it easier ☺️) These are the cookies you make the you want a serious chocolate fix. These are the cookies you make if you want to impress the pants off your girlfriends at book club. These are the cookies you make if you want to be the first to sell out at the school bake sale. And these are the cookies you make just because you literally cannot buy cookies like this here in Australia. Bakeries simply don’t sell cookies like this! I know you’ve been good all week. Heavy on the salads, low on the pastas. Go on, you deserve it! 😉 (And if you don’t, your family does… right??) ~ Nagi x
