Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

What to Serve With This Recipe
I love serving these cookies with a cold glass of milk—it’s a classic combo that never gets old. If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. You can’t go wrong with either, but trust me, both are worth trying!
Milk Pairings
Few things beat dunking a warm Jacques Torres chocolate chip cookie into a cold glass of milk—it’s a classic combo for a reason. I love using whole milk for its creamy richness, but if I’m feeling fancy, I’ll try almond or oat milk for a nutty twist. A dash of vanilla extract in the milk adds a sweet surprise. Trust me, it’s the perfect match!
Ice Cream Complements
Warm Jacques Torres chocolate chip cookies and ice cream are a match made in dessert heaven—the gooey chocolate and crisp edges play off the cold, creamy sweetness perfectly. I love pairing them with classic vanilla, but salted caramel or mint chip add fun twists. For extra indulgence, sandwich a scoop between two cookies. Trust me, it’s messy but worth every bite. Experiment with flavors—you can’t go wrong!
