Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies are indulgent, bakery-style cookies made with two types of flour, rich bittersweet chocolate, and finished with flaky sea salt. Known for their chewy center, crisp edges, and complex flavor, these cookies are the ultimate gourmet treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons (8 oz) cake flour
  • 1 2/3 cups (8.5 oz) bread flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (10 oz) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1 1/4 cups (10 oz) light brown sugar
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (8 oz) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 pounds bittersweet chocolate fèves or discs (60–70% cacao)
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together cake flour, bread flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate fèves or discs by hand until evenly distributed.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours (up to 72 hours).
  7. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop large dough balls (about 3.5 oz each) and place them on the baking sheet, leaving several inches between each.
  9. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each dough ball.
  10. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.
  11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough for at least 24 hours improves flavor and texture.Use high-quality chocolate discs for signature gooey pools of chocolate.Sprinkling with flaky sea salt balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.Dough can be frozen into balls and baked straight from the freezer.Underdone centers yield chewier cookies—do not overbake.
