A Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie
Irregardless of whether you share Blair Waldorf’s opinion of Brooklyn (“Eeww, going to Brookyln, why?”), there is just one reason to visit Brooklyn and that is to get a chocolate chip cookie from Jacque Torres. A perfect blend of melty chocolatey goodness with gooey sugar and vanilla, this cookie is the ultimate in chocolate chip cookie food love.
One of the many reasons for this food love is that the cookie is always served warm. Every cookie is set on a small warming tray after baking, so that it arrives in your hands, lusciously hot. The cookies are also the ideal mix of crunch and chewiness: I personally love my cookies soft (the gooier the better), and the Jacques Torres cookie is perfectly soft in the middle with the slightest of crunch contrast to the edges. Best of all, every bite of this cookie delivers chocolate. Rather than chips, strata layers of chocolate are distributed throughout the vanilla sugar dough so that you get multiple doses of chocolate in each bite.
Jacques Torres is located in Dumbo Brookyln at 66 Water Street. For those of you that refuse to visit Brooklyn even to experience this cookie, you can also visit his store in Manhattan at 350 Hudson Street at King Street. For you DIY-ers, the New York Times posted an adapted recipe version of Jacques’s chocolate chip cookie that you can try for yourself at home.
