Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies have become my new favorite recipe that yields crispy and chewy cookies with chocolate in every bite.
Servings: cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups (240 gr) cake flour
- 2 cups (240 gr) bread flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cup (282 gr) unsalted butter
- 1 3/8 cups (280 gr) light brown sugar
- 1 1/8 cups (227 gr) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 20 oz (570 gr) bittersweet chocolate disc 60% cacao
- Sea salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
- Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Drop the chocolate pieces in and mix until well combined.
- Press plastic wrap against the dough and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Dough may be used in batches and can be refrigerated for up to 72 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F/180°C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
- Scoop 6 3.5 ounces (100 gr) mounds of dough onto the baking sheet. Make sure to turn horizontally any chocolate pieces that are poking up to make a more attractive cookie. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake until golden brown for 18-20 minutes.
- Cool on the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can use a 6-cm ice cream scoop (about 1/4 cup of dough) instead of weighting each cookie.
Use a 5-cm ice cream scoop (1.75 ounces/50 gr) to make smaller cookies and cut the baking time to 13 minutes.
Chill the dough for 48-72 hours for the best flavor and texture.
I did not use chocolate discs because they were hard to find.
