Triple chocolate cookies

I want to dedicate these to my good friend Ellie and her love for triple chocolate cookies. She recently introduced me to Tesco’s finest triple chocolate cookies and having not been a cookie fan in the past, it’s safe to say I have been converted. Therefore I thought I should have a go at trying to replicate them. The original cookie is quite thin and chewy and after a few trials, I have finally found the perfect recipe. My main issue to start with was that they were rising too much, instead of spreading out. So I have decided that the egg in the recipe I was originally using is unnecessary.

There is only one tip that I hope you take when eating these cookies. Eat them pretty much straight after they come out of the oven. Warm is best. The melted chocolate inside is heavenly. So I ask you. One baker to another. Please don’t let them cool.
