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.

    Chilling the dough for 36 hours? I sure can’t wait that long…maybe I could double the recipe and leave half in the fridge and bake another half immediately…these cookies look divine!

    Fresh chocolate chip cookies from the oven is like the best medicine in the world. I’ve tried this recipe before though I didn’t make them as big as the original and I didn’t have the chocolate feves either. I almost think it’s impossible not to adjust that recipe a little when making it at home! It came out great but it wasn’t quite his cookie that we devoured in the store. I’m glad yours came out so wonderfully! Enjoy a few extra for us!

    These really are beautiful cookies! And the sea salt on the top is a truly genius addition. I’m sure it just totally enhances the flavors! YUM!

    36 hours? What the what! That’s way too long — but I guess you’d at least have cookie dough to eat during the zombie apocalypse? 30 minutes is much more reasonable, plus these cookies looks AHHHH MAZING.

    These have been my go-to cookie recipe for the last 3 years! I cannot stop eating them when I make a batch and have to force myself to give them away to people (I am very protective of chocolate chip cookies – so to give them away is a big deal). We stopped by Jacques Torres in NYC before the marathon last fall just so I could taste the real thing. SOOOO GOOD!!

    Have I everrrr read that article! And I’ve tried to mimic it a million times but they’re never quite as good. Truth be told I’m a city bakery CCC fan but it’s all good cause I’ll be there next week and I plan to stock up majorly and freeze them when I get home. But when I get home I’ll have to try your fool-proof recipe!

    I haven’t made his cookies because I know if I had to wait 36 hours for the dough to chill there wouldn’t be much cookie dough left to bake with. We are chronic dough snitchers in this house. 30 minutes wait time is more doable. 🙂
