How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 180 C (160 C fan) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the softened butter, brown sugar and caster sugar together with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes until pale and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
- Sift the plain flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt over the bowl, then fold in gently with a spatula until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
- Fold through the dark, milk and white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly through the dough.
- Scoop heaped tablespoons of dough and roll into balls, then space them well apart on the trays as they spread; chill the trays for 15 minutes if the dough feels very soft.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centres still look slightly underdone, as they firm up on cooling.
- Leave the cookies on the trays for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
