Jacques Torres' Secret Chocolate Chip Cookie

I saw this on Pinterest and took the holiday break to make all the stuff I wanted to try. I started with chocolate chip cookies because I have a recipe that tastes great but doesn't look like as nice as I would like it. This recipe looks and tastes great. Mike says it's the best cookie I've ever made to date. So here it is, Jacques Torres' Chocolate Chip cookies:

Makes twenty-six 5-inch cookies or 8 1/2 dozen 1 1/4-inch cookie.

Ingredients
1 pound unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups plus 2 tablespoons pastry flour
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 pounds bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Reduce speed to low and add both flours, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, and chocolate; mix until well combined.
- Using a 4-ounce scoop for larger cookies or a 1-ounce scoop for smaller cookies, scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake until lightly browned, but still soft, about 20 minutes for larger cookies and about 15 minutes for smaller cookies.
- Cool slightly on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:
1. It took 20 minutes in my oven for my cookies to be golden on top.
2. I used an ice cream scooper and to prep the dough and put them in the refrigerator for a day before baking them to have them look pretty and wrinkly like a bakery cookie.
3. I added 1 1/2 cup of walnuts to mine. I like nuts in my cookies.
