The Ingredient Jacques Torres Says Can Make or Break Your Cookies

In a recent Food & Wine feature, Want Better Chocolate Chip Cookies? Jacques Torres Says to Avoid This Chocolate, Chef Jacques reveals the secret behind truly exceptional cookies and the one type of chocolate he believes should stay far away from your mixing bowl. His advice isn’t about indulgence, it’s about the integrity of the ingredients. The right chocolate melts differently, releases aroma differently, and creates pockets of chocolate that turn a simple cookie into something worth savoring. It’s the kind of wisdom that comes only from a lifetime devoted to chocolate.

If you’re ready to bring that same magic into your own kitchen, start with Jacques Torres’ 60% Dark Chocolate Discs, Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, or indulge in a box of his Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies, each crafted with the same devotion to quality chocolate. Once you’ve read the  Food & Wine piece, you’re going to come back inspired and ready to bake. You’ll find the secret to extraordinary cookies isn’t hidden; it simply begins with exceptional chocolate.
