Hi Bold Bakers!
I could not be more proud to announce that this year I am the ambassador for Ghirardelli Chocolate! Cue the dance music, because this is really something to celebrate!
As Ghirardelli is my favorite brand of chocolate, this is a huge honor. And it’s all in celebration of Ghirardelli’s new Grand Chips, their largest chocolate chips ever. So, to properly kick off this partnership, I created what I call “Gemma’s Triple Grands” — and you are in for a real treat.
My brand new recipe is 3 of my favorite desserts all wrapped into one — cookies, cupcakes, and cheesecakes — and they feature Ghirardelli’s Grand Chips in all their glory.
What are Ghirardelli Grand Chips?
Ghirardelli has done it again taking their world-famous premium baking chocolate and making it into the largest chocolate chips available to buy. Ghirardelli Grand Chips are 2x the size of regular chocolate chips, and that means everyone gets a bigger chocolate bite per cookie.
Plus, Ghirardelli has also released their new Grand Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe so there’s just a whole lot to enjoy right now.

Why these are called Gemma’s “Triple Grands?”
Teaming up with Ghirardelli means I’m able to get creative in showing off what these massive chips can do. Instead of taking the
Grand Chips and just making chocolate chip cookies, I decided to create a dessert that is 3 times as Bold: my Triple Grands.
So, it’s not just a cookie, not just a cheesecake, and not just a cupcake — it’s ALL 3 IN ONE! That’s right: cookie cupcakes stuffed with cheesecake.
How to make a cheesecake stuffed cookie cupcake
These impressive desserts are really straightforward to make. After I whip up Ghirardelli’s Grand Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, I press the cookie dough into the bottom on a cupcake tin. Once that’s done, I then spoon over a mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, and sugar.
All that’s left is to seal the cheesecake layer with another layer of the Ghirardelli’s Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie dough. After baking, these puff up to look like the perfect chocolate chip cookie cupcake. Once cooled and cut open these reveal the most perfect cheesecake center. Can you imagine a better combination? If so, let me know what other fillings you’d use in the comments below.
