  • Chocolate chip cookies are hard to screw up. But when a French pastry master and chocolatier gets his hands on the treat, the result is an elevated take on an all-American classic. Made with cake flour and cocoa butter-packed chocolate, Jacques Torres' infamous cookies are a perfect blend of salty and sweet-crisp on the outside, and warm and gooey in the center. Inside Torres' Brooklyn factory, Food Skills gets behind-the-scenes look at Mr. Chocolate's world-famous recipe.

      Do you see the French flag collar he has on his jacket? You have to go through years and years of training to receive one of those. It's like a 5-star Michelin restaurant, extermly rare and hard to get.

    I visited a Jacques Torres shop after work recently and brought some of their chocolate chip cookies home - my kids love chocolate chip cookies. These had lots of chocolate throughout, were pleasantly chewy without being rubbery or too soft, plus they had what I would describe as a butterscotch-like aftertaste with an almost nutty quality It was the aftertaste part which I found cool and my kids found "meh." Overall, I'd buy them again.

      Both. This is the recipe according to NY Times:
      2 cups minus 2 tablespoons (8 1/2 ounces) cake flour
      1 ⅔ cups (8 1/2 ounces) bread flour
      1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
      1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
      1 ½ teaspoons coarse salt
      2 ½ sticks (1 1/4 cups) unsalted butter
      1 ¼ cups (10 ounces) light brown sugar
      1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (8 ounces) granulated sugar
      2 large eggs
      2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract
      1 ¼ pounds bittersweet chocolate disks or fèves, at least 60 percent cacao content (see note)
      Sea salt.

  • @ipissed

    French accent: check. Fancy chef outfit: check. Repeat "all purpose flour is good for everything but nothing" culinary school tag line: check. Now sprinkle some extra salt on it and you are the best.
