Put the bowl in the fridge and let it sit for 36 hours.
Press the plastic wrap so it touches the cookie dough. Turn your mixer to low and add the dry ingredients until just combined.Stir in the vanilla to the butter mixture.Make sure to fully mix in the first egg before adding the second. Add the the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time.Using a stand mixer, or a large bowl with an electric mixer on high, cream the butter and sugar together until very light and fluffy.In a medium bowl mix together the cake flour, bread flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.Combine wet ingredients, combine dry ingredients, mix the two. Messy level: I know I’ve gone on and on about the two flours and the wait time, but in terms of skill and dishes this is your standard cookie recipe. I especially love the dark chocolate and salt combination and I think it’s one I’ll be using for all future chocolate chip cookie recipes. But, I’ll still be keeping this recipe in my arsenal because it’s special, incredibly delicious, and taking the time for something unique is really worth it. Sometimes I am going to want chocolate chip cookies right now. Will these cookies knock out the standard one-day Tollhouse recipe? Probably not. My parents came down the weekend I made these and they were positively gushing over these. It’s got rich toffee like flavors, decadent chocolate, and a salty finish. What’s the deal with the 36 hour wait time? The wait allows the dry ingredients time to soak up the wet ingredients, with the final product being a firm cookie with a crisp edge with a chewy center. That brings me to the important question. In one bite of cookie you’re getting sweet, salt, and hint of bitter which is just amazing and helps make this cookie worth the wait. My friend Abi, and I’m sure lots of other people too, aren’t into the trend of sea salt on desserts – but I think here it’s a combination worth trying. Paired with sea salt on top, these cookies are an amazing combination of flavors for your tongue. It gave the cookies a rich, and slightly bitter flavor that was so lovely. While I didn’t get chocolate disks, I did stick to the recommendation that the chocolate be at least 60% cocoa. If you’re super dedicated you can order chocolate disks from Amazon. But I couldn’t find any so regular old chips it would be. The reason he uses the disks is that he feels they melt better than chips and create layers of chocolate (instead of pockets of chocolate) in every bite. However, again I couldn’t find one ingredient! This recipe calls for chocolate disks just like Jacques Torres uses.
#NYTIMES CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES FULL#
It was excited to stock my pantry full of things for baking. Now, five months after I first heard about the recipe I’m finally back in the US, my new kitchen is mostly stocked, and I run out to buy all the ingredients for the cookies. I have a friend (who’s a more dedicated and detail-oriented baker than me) who did make cake flour at home for this recipe and the cookies were very tasty and rich – but I was lazy and decided to wait until I could get my hands on store-bought flour.
And there’s no need to fear if you can’t find it in your super market, because you can make cake flour at home using these easy instructions from Joy the Baker. What is cake flour anyway? It’s finely ground flour with a lower protein content than all-purpose flour, which lends itself to creating light and fluffy baked goods.
Except, cake flour doesn’t exist in London. No problem, I’ll go out and get those flours. See, not your usual cookie recipe? But, I’m a committed baked and not put off by having special flours in my cupboard. So back in London, I found the recipe and it does indeed call for two kinds of flours: cake flour and bread flour. Waiting for 36 hours? I’ll admit that I was intrigued and looked it up immediately when I got home. I had never heard of it before and was a little overwhelmed at the sound of it – the dough uses two kinds of flour and sits for a day and a half. At the rehearsal dinner I was sitting with some friends of the bride and we were talking about baking and favorite recipes when two of the women started gushing about this New York Times recipe. I first heard about this cookie back in September when I was in Baltimore for my friend Emily’s wedding. Spoiler alert: this recipe is a little more elaborate than your usual chocolate chip cookie, and totally worth trying. It’s an adaptation of the chocolate chip cookies recipe used by pastry chef Jacques Torres. But I didn’t make just any chocolate chip cookies, I made the New York Times chocolate chip cookies. What makes a new place feel (and smell) more like a home than homemade chocolate chip cookies? Answer, not a whole lot. One of the first things I made in my new kitchen was chocolate chip cookies.
