Easy Triple Chocolate Cookies Soft Chewy

The use of both shortening and butter brings these easy cookies to the perfect consistency, soft and buttery with a tiny bit of a chewy texture.

These cookies come out of the oven perfectly amazing! They are thick and soft with a slightly chewy texture … and completely loaded with chocolate flavor!

Using Shortening & Butter

Here are a few of my favorite tips to make cookies soft and chewy:

Use both shortening and butter:
Of course, butter adds flavor and keeps these delicious cookies soft.
Shortening helps keep these cookies thick and chewy.
Do not overbake
Bake these until the edges are set and a tiny bit browned but not dark.
Eat them fast
These will stay soft and chewy for a few days but if you’re planning on keeping them longer than that, I’d suggest freezing them.
Keep them in a tightly sealed container (after cooling completely)
If you keep them too long and need to soften them, about 10-15 seconds in the microwave will make them taste oven fresh again!

Optional Additions

I love the double dose of chocolate. Milk chocolate is really creamy while semi-sweet chocolate chips add a rich chocolate flavor. You can substitute your favorite add-ins:

Pecans or walnuts
Peanut butter chips
White chocolate chips and macadamia nuts

Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies – Crazy easy.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies – My husband’s favorite cookie!
Easy Sugar Cookies
Funfetti Cookies – Kids love these!
No Bake Chocolate Cookies – No Nuts (or peanuts)
Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies – Perfection. Nothing else to say.
