Victory Monday cookies for week 13

I stood for the entire second half of the Bills game, something I had not done in a long, long time.  It alleviated some of the Fandom stress for me, and we were playing well while I stood, so I did not sit down until the game ended.   We got a much needed win, so i asked Rob what the victory treats should be and he said triple chip cookies.  They are a chocolate chip cookie dough with an instant vanilla pudding mix added and uses milk chocolate, white chocolate and semisweet chocolate chips.  I was in a bit of a rush and didn’t have time to chill the dough, but they stayed niced and puffy anyways.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  And preheat your oven to 350 degrees before baking. 

  • Ingredients list
  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed into small squares
  • 1/2 cup butter crisco (regular crisco also works)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
  • 1 box vanilla instant pudding mix, 3.4 oz
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.  In a bowl, cream butter, butter crisco and brown sugar.  Add pudding mix.  Mix in eggs, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Fold in flour.  Blend in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cup dough.  Stagger on cookie sheet.  Bake 10 to 11 minutes, no longer.  Remove from oven.  Tops may look gushy, but cookies will firm up as they cool.  Cool completely.   Store in covered container.

Triple chip cookies

I present a chocolate chip cookie, but with 3 kinds of chocolate chips – semisweet, milk and white.  These are one of Rob’s favorites, so I am asked to make them quite a bit.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  I recommend freezing the individual doughs for about an hour or chilling them for a few hours before baking.  And, preheat your oven before baking. 

These are a good size cookie, so I baked them at a higher temp – 390 degrees, but only for 9 or 10 minutes.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup crisco
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup firmly packed Brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbs water
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup white chips

Directions – in a bowl, cream crisco, sugar and brown sugar.  Beat in eggs, water,  and vanilla.  Blendnin dry ingredients. Fold in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. 

Freeze for an hour or chill in fridge for a few hours.  Preheat oven to 390 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on the prepared sheet. 

Bake 9 to 10 min, no longer.  (there will be golden patches on top, bottoms will be browned).  They may seem gushy,  but they will firm up.  You can also pop them in the fridge to firm them up as well.  Cool completely.  

Store in covered container.

Bounceback Triple Chip Cookies

The triple chip cookie I made yesterday were a complete disaster.  So flat I found them unacceptable.  So I mashed them up, added a few tbs of melted butter and pressed them in a bottom of a pan, added a double recipe of brownies and will bring them to work tomorrow.

Anyway, I needed to bounce back with the triple chips.  These came out perfect.  A couple of things- you need all-purpose flour and bread flour.  You need to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.   The dough needs to be frozen for 90 minutes and then bake it frozen. 

  • Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and shredded with a cheese grater or cubed into small pieces
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tbs flour
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tbs bread flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips (or semisweet)
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl cream cold, cubed butter, brown sugar and sugar.  Add egg, yolk and vanilla.  Fold in dry ingredients.  Blend in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Freeze 90 minutes.  Cookie dough is baked directly from freezer.   Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on prepared sheet.  Bake 13 minutes.  Tops will be a little doughy.  Cool completley.   Put in fridge for an hour to firm up.  Theb, remove from fridge and store in covered container.

XL triple chip cookies topped with melted chocolate chips

A request from my hubby for triple chip cookies. They are cooked at a higher temperature (390 degrees), so I made them quite large so they did not burn. I am taking them to work, so after they were completley cooled, I cut them in half and topped them with melted chocolate. If I did not cut them in half, people at work would have. 😉

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount (do not pour it in. Pouring it packs it in and you wind up with dry cookies. Blech!). Also chill the individual mounds. And preheat your oven for 20 minutes before baking.

  • Ingredients
  • 8 tbs butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
    • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1 to 3 tbs water (opt)
    • 2/3 cup chocolate chips
    • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
    • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips

Directions – cream butter and brown sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. If dough seems dry, add water, 1 tbs at a time to make it easier to work with. Blend in chips. Divide dough into 8 even pieces. I formed mine into very tall mounds. You can flatten your if you prefer. Bake 11 to 14 minutes (no longer). They will be golden on the edges and a little gushy on top. They will firm up as they cool. Once completely cooled, top with melted chocolate if you want.

Store in covered container.

Perfectly puffy triple chip cookies

I know most people don’t love cooler weather, but honestly, I am ok with it because the puffy cookies are back! (Also my hair is less of a battle to straighten). Today, I present puffy triple chip cookies, featuring semisweet, milk chocolate and white chocolate chips.

I used butter flavor crisco in this recipe, as well as cornstarch.

A reminder to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Chill the mounds of dough for at least an hour to prevent spreading. And preheat your oven for 20 minutes, so it cycles to the right temp.

  • 1 cup butter flavor crisco
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3.4 oz instant pudding mix
  • 2 1/4 cups flour (scooped from your flour container into your measuring cup)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl, using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, cream butter crisco, brown sugar and sugar. Add eggs. Mix in vanilla and pudding mix. Blend in flour, baking powder, baking soda and cornstarch. Blend in chips. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough and form into mounds. Chill at least an hour in the fridge. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and stagger cookies. Bake at 350 degrees for 11 to 13 minutes. The bottoms will be lightly browned. The tops will be a little gushy, but will firm up as they cool and set overnight.

Store in covered container.

Triple chip cookies

Today is the first time in a month it hasn’t felt like you are sitting on the bleeping sun when you go outside. So to celebrate, I made triple chip cookies (Rob’s request). The humidity made so many of my cookies a big, flat disaster. I was assured they tasted good, but the fact that they were flat BUGGED me. (Plus the humidity bugged the hell out of me as well). These cookies did flatten a bit, but not as bad as some of the other ones.

Remember to scoop your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount, form your dough into tall mounds and chill them for a few hours, and preheat oven to 350 degrees before baking so your oven cycles to the right temp. (That last tip was a lifesaver from a tech who serviced one of our first ovens. Very valuable advice)

This is a mound of cookie dough
  • Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups butter, cold and shredded with a cheese grater
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 1/4 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
This is how I stagger cookies on a sheet

Directions – in a bowl, cream grated butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients. Mix in chips. Scoop put 1/4 cups of dough and form tall mounds or cylinders. Chill a few hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Stagger cookies on sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until edges are golden and there are golden spots on top. Cool completely. Store in covered container.

Triple chip cookies

Triple chip cookies

I am absolutely delighted how these turned out. Huge mounds of puffy goodness. I do not like flat cookies! I am not quite sure why. These were a last minute request from Rob, so I used crisco, which I believe helped with the puffiness. I also made peanut butter cookies and those are not his bag, if you will, so I whipped up a few of these triple chip cookies, which we also call “the franks” because our friend Frank loves them!

Look at all those chips!

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Also preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking so it cycles to the right tem (a tip from a Sears appliances tech – thanks Stanley for the invaluable advice). If you use butter instead of crisco, I recommend chilling the mounds of dough for a few hours or freeze them for 30 minutes to avoid them spreading too much.

This recipe made 8 good size cookies (I uses 1/4 cup dough scoop for each one)

  • Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup crisco
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1.7 ounce instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions – preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking liners. In a bowl, cream crisco and brown sugar. Add pudding mix. Blend in vanilla, egg, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Fold in flour. Stir in chips. ( I used my hands to blend the dough together once I added the chips). Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 13 minutes. You will see golden patches on top. Cool completely. Store in covered container.
