Triple Chocolate Cookies

 The Womens Weekly book, "Cupcakes and Baking" is one of my favourite recipe books, and for good reason: it contains this recipe. Imagine a chewy, addictive cookie with the wonders of three - yes, three - types of chocolate. Not making these cookies would be possibly the worst decision of your life, so here's the recipe for possibly the best cookies you will ever eat.
