Jumbo Triple Chip Cookies

I am always on the lookout for a really great no fail jumbo cookie recipe.  Unfortunately, I usually come up very lacking in this category.  When my Hungry Puppies have swim meets, we sometimes have to bring baked items to sell for the concession in order to raise money for our team.  Jumbo cookies are always on my list of things I want to bring, but I can never seem to get a recipe to turn out!  Until this one.  This one is perfect.  And I mean seriously perfect.  It is super simple and straight forward, and the results are amazing.  I will definitely be making these cookies over and over.  Note: you can adjust the add ins to your liking.  Substitute nuts, or other flavor chips, dried fruit, or whatever you'd like! Recipe adapted from here.


Jumbo Triple Chip Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1/2 cup butter flavor shortening
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips

Preheat the oven to 375F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl (or use a stand mixer) cream together the butter, shortening, sugar, and brown sugar, until blended and smooth.  Beat in the eggs and vanilla until incorporated.  Add two cups of the flour, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and beat until combined.  Add the remaining two cups of flour and beat until almost incorporated (you should still see flour in the dough).  Add the semi sweet chips, white chips, and peanut butter chips, and beat until evenly distributed, and no more streaks of flour remain.

Use a 1/4 cup measure to scoop the dough and place on the prepared baking sheet, six to a sheet.  The dough should be disk shaped (like the measuring cup).  Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown and the centers are set.  Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for several minutes.  Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.  Makes 24 to 26 jumbo cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
