INGREDIENTS
•
From the New York Times, adapted from Jacques Torres
•
- 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons (8 1/2 ounces) cake flour (Jane note: I usually use pastry flour here…that's what my OTHER Jacques Torres cookie recipe calls for)
•
- 1 2/3 cups (8 1/2 ounces) bread flour
•
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
•
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
•
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
•
- 2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) unsalted butter (Jane note: If I only have salted butter on hand, I use 1 teaspoon regular salt instead of 1 1/2 tsp. coarse salt)
•
- 1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) light brown sugar
•
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (8 ounces) granulated sugar
•
- 2 large eggs
•
- 2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract
•
- 1 1/4 pounds bittersweet chocolate disks or fèves, at least 60 percent cacao content (Jane note: you can use regular semi-sweet chocolate chips here, but if you can find disc shaped chips, it is pretty awesome…you end up with layers of chocolate
•
- Sea salt
