Jacques Torres' Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons cake flour
- 1 2/3 cups bread flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 pounds bittersweet chocolate discs
- flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, bread flour, baking powder, baking soda, and coarse salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter/sugar mixture and beat well. Add the vanilla and mix thoroughly, scraping down the sides of the bowl as you go.
- Add the flour mixture gradually, beating until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds.
- Fold in the chocolate using a spatula.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the dough and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 72 hours.
- When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350u0b0 F.
- Scoop large spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (I did about 1/4-cup spoonfuls). Sprinkle with the flaky sea salt and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown and the middle still looks soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
