Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are the best chocolate chip cookies i've ever made, i found the recipe in youtube recipe wars. A chocolate chip cookies recipe to die for, once you've tried them you'll definitely fall for them. Well happy baking and enjoy!


Ingredients: 
2 cups minus 2 tbs cake flour* ( about 260g minus 2 tbs)
1 2/3 cups bread flour (185g)
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp coarse salt
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter (299,5g)
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar (250g)
1 cup granulated sugar (225g)
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
11/4 pounds bittersweet chocolate (566g), i use 50% cacao content
Sea salt for garnish
  • For the cake flour*, if you don't own cake flour at home just make it by yourself. For every 1 cup of all purpose flour, you have to take out 2 tablespoon of all purpose flour and replace them with 2 tablespoon of maizena (corn starch). Sift the flour 2 times. 
  • Sift the flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl, set aside.
  • Using a mixer, cream the butter with sugar until light for about 5 minutes. 
  • Add in eggs, one at a time. Make sure to mix it well after each addition. Pour in vanilla extract. Reduce speed to low and then add the flour mixture, mix to combine for about 10 seconds.
  • Add in the chocolate pieces and stir to combine.
  • Cover the dough, press plastic wrap against dough or put the dough into a zipper bag (don't forget to press air out of the bag). Refrigerate it overnight to 24 hours before baking. The dough might be used in batches and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Preheat oven to 180 ˚C, sprinkle lightly sea salt on every cookie dough and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown, remove from oven let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for few minutes before transfer them to cool in a wire rack. 
Note:
  • I always make my own cake flour, for this recipe i make 2 cups of cake flour, sift it for 2 times and then take out 2 tablespoon.
  • When adding flour mixture you can use your rubber spatula instead of a mixer. 
  • I reduced the amount of granulated sugar to 175g and light brown sugar to 200g.
  • If you buy chocolate bars then break them into bite size pieces before adding them to the dough.
