"Available with a choice of chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla ice cream as filling, the sandwich deploys a pair of thick chocolate-chip cookies, the kind available all year at every Jacques Torres location. The ice cream sandwich elevates these cookies — loaded with big chunks of Jacques Torres dark chocolate — to greatness."

"America's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies: Jacques Torres Chocolate - Filled with hefty bittersweet chocolate discs and garnished with sea salt, the oversize result is the platonic ideal of this sort of cookie: golden in color, chewy throughout, and slightly crisp at the edges."

Jodi Bart Holzband

"It was delicious and memorable to say the least."

Tina Wong

"The chocolate chip cookie still managed to be a bit crisp despite being in the freezer for more than a few hours, chocolatey, and the hazelnut ice cream was dense but creamy and it had a hint of roasted hazelnut flavor. This is a nostalgic dessert but nevertheless it feels decadent since it’s so big."

Rob Patronite

"In their frozen state, the almond-floured cookies meld perfectly with their ice-cream filling, providing a delicately crisp and yielding package that coheres even as its contents begin to melt."

Melissa Kravitz

"Pastry Chef and chocolate expert Jacques Torres and his team dole out the best version in town built on homemade chocolate chunk cookies, soft and gooey in all the right spots, with a scoop of rich homemade ice cream The flat, palm sized cookies, just crisp enough on the edges, offer the ideal surface for a proper ice cream to double cookie ratio."

Kathy YL Chan

"The ice cream flavors come in a rotating variety; we saw chocolate, strawberry, and a particularly sumptuous roasted banana ice cream on our most recent visit. All of the preassembled ice cream sandwiches are made with his signature chocolate chip cookie, which is crunchy and has a high chocolate ratio; it's a bit too crisp to eat without ice cream oozing out the sides, but it's terrific on its own."

Jen Carlson

"The difference between most chocolate chips and the chips Jacques Torress uses is like the difference between coffee and cocaine. The chips are stronger, more addictive and not easily found in supermarkets."

Janna Berenson

"While Jacques Torres is known as a chocolatier with the best chocolate in town, their cookies are their hidden gems."

Emma Sloley

"The secret of the addictively rich chunks running through the outrageously buttery, slightly chewy round is layers of melted couverture chocolate, the kind used to coat truffles."
