This is it.
My niece, Elizabeth, loves to bake and made these cookies a couple of years ago for Christmas.
A Real Jane subscriber wrote me that she had seen the same recipe for Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies on marthastewart.com
This is simply the best chocolate chip cookie I have ever eaten.
Here is the recipe:
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie I’ve Ever Eaten
Makes twenty-six 5-inch cookies
Ingredients:
1 pound unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups plus 2 tablespoons pastry flour
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 pounds bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
Directions:
– Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats; set aside.
– In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars.
– Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
– Reduce speed to low and add both flours, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, and chocolate; mix until well combined.
– Using a 4-ounce scoop for larger cookies or a 1-ounce scoop for smaller cookies, scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
– Bake until lightly browned, but still soft, about 20 minutes for larger cookies and about 15 minutes for smaller cookies.
– Cool slightly on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with a big glass of milk while still warm and enjoy!
If you make them, I would love to know if you like them as much as I do.
I am ready to bake these tonight………the use of two kinds of flour is interesting……….thanks
Have a glass of milk for me Pat!
Are both kinds of flour necessary or can we leave out the pastry flour?
Both flours are what make it so good Tanya, hope that helps!
Anything with a pound of butter is bound to delight!!
THat’s what I said Rebecca lol. Enjoy, Jane
