Triple Chocolate Devil Drops
Ingredients
- 2 cups (284 g) all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup (57 g) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (170 g) butter, softened
- 1 ⅓ cups (283 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup (151 g) sour cream
- 1 cup (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces (113 g) white chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two baking sheets (or line them with parchment or silpat liners).
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Gently whisk together to blend.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together at medium speed until light, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Mix in the vanilla extract. At low speed, add 1/3 of the dry ingredients and mix. Then add 1/2 of the sour cream and mix. Add another 1/3 of the dry ingredients followed by the remainder of the sour cream. Finally add the last of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Using a wooden spoon stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies 1 inch apart. Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes until edges appear done and no impression is left when you touch a cookie very lightly with a finger. Do not overbake or the cookies will be dry! Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate for one minute at 50% power. Stir and melt in 20-second intervals at 50% power, stirring after every interval, until chocolate is melted and smooth. (Don’t cook at too high of a power or the chocolate will scorch and seize.)
- Scrape the melted chocolate into a ziploc bag and seal the bag. Cut a tiny hole in one of the bottom corners of the bag and drizzle the cookies with the white chocolate in thin parallel lines. Refrigerate the cookies for 5 minutes or until set.
Notes
Storing: the cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days, although, in my opinion, these taste best within the first 1-2 days.

Hi! Just made these this morning and they are very soft and super chocolately! I goofed and added white chocolate chips to the batter, then decided to so the drizzle as well…So good! The dough was super soft and I refrigerated it for a good long time before baking. Is that normal? I used a #24 scoop and these backed for exactly 12.5 minutes, then 5 minutes on the sheet. Still soft and chewy. Next up: your soft chocolate sugar cookies. 🙂 Thanks! P.S. I used Dutch-processed and added a bit of cream of tartar and I really like this chocolate flavor.
Ellen – Yes, the batter of these cookies is pretty soft. Glad you enjoyed them!
Melanie – 99.9% of the time I use unsweetened cocoa powder unless I feel the urge to splurge on dutch process.
What kind of cocoa powder do you use in your recipes? Dutch? Sweetened? Unsweetened? Thanks!
Hi Julia – I hope the finished cookies tasted as good as the batter!
elisha – thanks! Glad you liked them.
I have these in the oven right now, I planned on taking them to the neighbors for a Christmas treat, but if the cookies are 1/2 as good as the batter, I don’t know that they’ll make it out the door. Thanks for another wonderful choice!
Julianne – I’ve been holding my breath wondering how these turned out since I knew you were going to make them. Thanks for checking in and letting me know they worked out. Hip hip hooray!
Excellente. I made these today. We loved them. I LOVE the white chocolate drizzling on top; it gives the cake-y-ness of the cookie a small crunch. We halved the batch and got about 30 cookies (plus the amount of batter that my son and I ate pre-baking, but what can I say?).
Excellent.
How did I miss these! Well, never fear, I found them, and they look DEE-lightful and DEE-licious!!
Memoria – I think sour cream is a pretty essential part of these cookies but if you want to substitute, I would try plain yogurt first and see how that works.
methinks i’m going to like your sugar rushes, these look wonderful!
Oh, is there a non-sour substitute for the sour cream? Heavy cream or cream cheese?
I’m so glad you posted this recipe. I have seen the cake mix cookies on the blogosphere and have rejected them b/c of the requisite cake mix. Now I can make these!! Thanks!
I am drooling. There’s no such thing as too much chocolate.
Um. WHAT?? I’m making these TONIGHT. I’ll report in tomorrow. The end.
How funny!!! I can actually smell them!!! YUMMY!
hellooooo, chocolate! so dark and delicious, i do believe i’m in love. i’ve never seen sour cream in a cookie recipe, but it must be capable of magic. 🙂
