How to Store Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay good for about a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They will last for up to three months. Just thaw them at room temperature before enjoying.
Tips to Make Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies
- Make sure your butter is softened for easy creaming with the sugars.
- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients; this helps keep your cookies chewy.

- You can adjust the types of chocolate chunks to your preference or even add nuts for extra texture.
Variation
You can make these cookies even more interesting by adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. Alternatively, try adding chopped nuts or dried fruits for a different twist.
