I've been meaning to make Jacques Torres' famous chocolate chip cookies for year. 4 years to be exact. That's the length of time that I've had a bag of his special chocolate disks sitting in my fridge; 4 YEARS. So let's finally get an answer to the question: is it worth it? #emmymade #cooking #chocolatechipcookies

  • Emmy, try browning your butter in the pan the night before, chilling it until morning for the mix. O M G the difference is CRAZY. I always chill my dough 24 hours. Christmas time my fridge looks like a keebler factory before the bake day LOL.
  • I like to make a batch of dough and just bake a few at a time as I eat them. The dough lasts in the fridge for a few days and I always get warm cookies fresh out of the oven. This recipe sounds like it's perfect for that.
  • @colson8327
    I am still trying to get over the fact that you were able to leave dark chocolate in your refrigerator for that long without eating any of it. They wouldn't last a day in my house!
  • @TheMrsBeagle
    I always bake them for 18, and while they almost look under done, after they sit for 10, they are PERFECTION. this is the only chocolate chip base I use now. I freeze the dough balls, and bake them off a few at a time when I want them, no need to adjust time for frozen dough. Exquisite.

    Oh Emmy, for 3 years, my sister-in-law, my niece, and I went to the New York Chocolate Festival (Pre-Covid). Oh my, chocolate samples to eat and buy from all over the world. One of our favorite must stops was Jaques Torres' booth (he also gave lessons. I always came away with brownies or chocolate chips. Heavenly!!!
  • @organicgrains
    That "Mmm" was so aggressively genuine that I think I might have to find a way to make these cookies myself.
  • @LadyCynthiana
    Emmy's face while eating that cookie: 🥺 I could tell it was pure enjoyment, and I immediately wanted a chocolate chip cookie!
  • @cradio52
    You can order these from Jacques’ website pre-made and they are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I went though a spell of ordering a pack of 6 every few weeks a couple years ago; I’d pop one into my toaster oven for about 2 minutes and they’d come out nice and warm, gooey and chewy every time, like they were just baked. Now I need to order them again… 😅
  • It would have been interesting to bake a couple immediately after they were scooped and then comparing it to the ones that sat for 72 hours. Nevertheless, great video as always!
  • @emmymade
    Now I want a glass of milk!🍪🥛🍪🥛🍪🥛What's your favorite cookie pairing?
  • Emmy you are absolutely adorable. You are a joy to watch and I am thankful for every video you put out. These cookies look amazing. Thank you. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.
  • There’s a very famous cookie place in Amsterdam called “Van Stapele Koekmakerij”. They only make a few batches a day and when the cookies are sold out the shop closes. Sometimes it closes by 1pm, other days later. You would absolutely love them! 😍
  • @AprilsPlace
    I watched the Jaques Torres show too!! I especially loved when he would make chocolate sculptures, it was truly amazing as a child.
  • @msrandomgirly
    Ive made these before! I used to bring them to potlucks to show off. There is a huge difference if you dont chill them or only do like 24 its crazy how good they are after the full time
  • I’m almost in tears watching you eating that cookie. I can still remember what my grandma’s chocolate chip cookies tasted like and I imagine these are so incredible! I have celiac disease and I don’t know why I torture myself watching videos of foods I can’t have.
  • @Andydandy7
    The silent facial expressions after Emmy takes a bite is always my favorite part 🥰
  • So glad to see this featured! This has been my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe for years. They always turn out amazing!!! The only tweak I make is using browned butter (adding an ice cube in to account for lost water). It just adds even more depth. And AP flour can definitely subbed in if it's weighed out. But, I almost always have bread flour in my pantry because of these cookies. ❤
  • Oh my!!! This one is sooo delicious looking and sounds amazing! I watched Jacque Torres too and loved that show! Drooled as you tasted the finished cookie! Thanks for bringing it back to us! 😋
  • @joeblack4436
    It's always a joy to watch your videos. I don't have such a love for cookies as you obviously do, but this made an impression, so I will bookmark it. Who knows one day I might have a need for it, and this video was quite an endorsement for the recipe.
