These Triple Chip Cookies are buttery, slightly crispy & chewy and are loaded with three different kinds of chocolate chips. They’re completely delicious!
I’m sure you’ve come here today looking for a new recipe, but before we talk cookies, I want to get a little personal today.
My heart has been so sad this week after hearing about the passing of President Thomas S. Monson. He holds a really special place in my heart, and I will never forget the way he personally touched my family’s life several years ago.
President Monson played a special place in my Grandma’s life because of a few simple acts of kindness he showed her many, many years ago. She was an employee at an auto body shop where he was a customer and at that time he was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve at the time. Fast forward to April 2011 when my grandma was on Hospice after battling an infection caused by surgery. Knowing what President Monson meant to my grandma, my dad sent a letter to his office relating the situation and telling him how much receiving a note of comfort from him would mean to her. He had no idea what would come of it.
My grandma passed away on April 3, 2011. One day after her passing, my mom and her siblings were at my grandma’s home planning her funeral when there was a knock at her door. My uncle answered it to find President Monson standing there. He told him he had come to give my grandma a priesthood blessing. When he was told she had already passed away, President Monson didn’t leave, instead he sat down with my mom and her siblings and visited with them for about almost two hours.
My mom and her siblings will never forget that day and the incredible love and compassion President Monson showed them that afternoon.
President Monson lived a life of selfless, tireless service. I will forever be grateful for his example, his love, his stories and his guidance.
Ok, let’s talk Triple Chip Cookies now.
I’ve made these twice this week, because, you know, cookies always make things better.
I’m not sure if I ate more dough or more cookies.
I am sure though that these are completely delicious and all my boys would agree 100%.
Buttery, soft, but slightly crispy, a little chewy, and packed with three kinds of chocolate chips.
What’s not to love?
Now go make these cookies.

These sounds so yummy….do you think I could use plain shortening instead of butter ?? Would they still be chewy ?
Thanks
You can certainly use shortening, but the cookies won’t be as flavorful. Using butter flavored shortening (instead of regular) would definitely help with the flavor. They will probably bake up a little taller and be will be more tender. You could use half butter and half shortening as well. I’d love to hear back from you if you give them a try. Happy New Year!
