Everyone needs a perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe in their back pocket, and this is definitely mine. These are seriously the BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever! I have made these many times and everyone who tries them agrees that they’re irresistibly delicious! So, stop your perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe searching. The answer is here. Take my hand – I’m taking you to the Chocolate Chip Cookie mothership.

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

A few years ago there was quite a buzz on a popular recipe that the New York Times featured, it was a close adaptation to the Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip cookies. If you’ve ever had a Jacques Torres cookie then you can agree, they are some darn good cookies. Turn the clock ahead years later and I finally got around to making this cherished recipe that had people raving and gawking.

Perfect  Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies with slightly crisp edges, chewy middles, and the best flavor! And with my easy recipe you only need to chill the dough for 30 minutes! Try this wildly-popular chocolate chip cookie recipe for yourself. These are the best chocolate chip cookies ever!

Ingredients In Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • All purpose flour
  • Bread flour
  • Baking soda
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Butter
  • Brown sugar
  • Granulated sugar
  • Egg
  • Vanilla extract
  • Chocolate chips
  • Sea salt for sprinkling on top of the cookies

When I got all the ingredients ready, I realized two things. First off, I did not have the type of chocolate Mr. Torres recommends for his cookies and I had no plans to go out and spend $12 to get said chocolate. Second, his recipe called for refrigerating the dough for 36 hours. Wait, what? This girl wants cookies now. Thirty-six hours of waiting? Are you crazy?

In thirty-six hours the world could be over and here I will be, laying on the zombie apocalypse covered sidewalk crying out, “But… my… cookies… are… still… in the… refrigerator”. No way. There’s just no way I’m waiting thirty-six hours for my dough to chill. I’ll give them 30 minutes to chill, that’s all the willpower I have.

My Recipe For Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies

To make these cookies my own and way easier, I took the original Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip cookie recipe and tweaked it by using a more budget friendly chocolate (chocolate chips), I changed the serving size, the amount of ingredients needed and the size of the cookies. I also shortened the chill time for the dough. And even with all of these changes, I have to declare these cookies, The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies EVER. I’m totally being serious.

Not only are they quite possibly the prettiest chocolate chip cookies I have ever baked, but they also taste SO amazing. They are everything a chocolate chip cookie should be – they have the perfect texture, and they are sweet with a little salty on top. They’re magic.

How To Make This Easier Version Of Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Start this cookie recipe like most and mix the flours (all purpose and bread), baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
  2. Then, use a hand mixer to cream the butter and sugars together until they are light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix together. Stir in the vanilla.
  3. Now add the dry ingredients in with the butter mixture and continue to mix until all ingredients are fully combined.
  4. Next, add the chocolate chips into the batter and stir by hand, with a spoon, to equally distribute the chocolate chips into the batter.
  5. Transfer the bowl of dough to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes. That’s right… just 30 minutes!
  6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Drop tablespoons of dough on a cookie sheet or silicone baking mats. I can usually fit 12 cookies per sheet. You might want to add a few more chocolate chips to the top of each cookie, to make for a prettier cookie. Sprinkle each cookie lightly with sea salt and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy these cookies fresh from the oven! I love them warm!

Come to Mama you beautiful chocolate chip cookies.

    Amen, sister!
    $12 for chocolate? no.
    36 hours to wait for cookies to chill? no.
    Here’s to simplifying while still making DELICIOUS treats…
    Cheers!

    While I think that having a shortcut version is great, you really really reallllllly have to try to try the overnight version sometime. It’s SO worth it!

    These cookies look amazing Pamela! I tried this recipe a while back and the chilling time was the hardest part. I love that you cracked the 36 hour no waiting required code – so brilliant and I would totally follow you onto the chocolate chip cookie mothership 🙂

    I never made the Jacques Torres cookies because I couldn’t handle waiting that long! I’m always on the hunt for the “perfect” chocolate chip cookie recipe – will have to give this one a try, your photos certainly make them look delicious!

    I have let my cookie dough chill for 36 hours in the past, but I often don’t have the patience or will power either! It’s hard to plan so far ahead when sometimes you just want a cookie!

    Jacques Torres cookies are pretty darn amazing! I especially love the ice cream sandwiches there in the summer… And don’t even get me started on all his chocolates. They are amazing. We were super bummed when his Chelsea Market location closed since we were around that area all the time.

    These cookies look absolutely divine. Like I need them immediately!

    I don’t think I could wait 36 hours to eat one of these little beauties either. Love the addition of a little sea salt to tops just before baking. Sea salt brings these cookies to a whole other level. Happy Baking! BAM
