Key Ingredients

When it comes to making Ina Garten’s Jumbo Cookies, there are a few key ingredients that make all the difference. Let’s start with the flour. For this recipe, we recommend using a high-quality all-purpose flour that will yield a tender, chewy texture. You can opt for a generic brand, but a premium option like King Arthur or Bob’s Red Mill will make a world of difference.

Next up is the sugar. While granulated sugar is essential for cooking and baking, brown sugar adds a rich, deep flavor that complements the chocolate perfectly. We highly recommend using a high-quality brown sugar like Muscovado or Turbinado for the best results.
