Levain Bakery Inspired Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

A cookie inspired by the popular Levain bakery in New York City. I have been playing around with this recipe for ages and am finally sharing it.

This version is less sweet and also slightly smaller in size than the one it is modelled after. It’s a cookie that has a crisp edge and gooey middle whilst hot, a soft middle when warm and a fudgey middle when cooled.

I hope that you give this recipe a try and enjoy baking it for your friends and family!

Thank you for your recipe. I tried it and it tastes really good. But the dough is a bit wet so it’s hard to shape it. Not sure if it is overmixed. But the texture and taste are perfect.

Yay! Thank you for the recipe video and hard work !! 🙂

Interesting recipe! I’ve tried a few levain style cookie recipes but this is the first time I’m seeing the addition of cornstarch and milk powder. What do the cornstarch and milk powder add to the recipe? Excited to try!

I'm definitely trying this. I've been on the hunt for a good choc chip cookie recipe. Mine is always great when it comes out of the oven, but sets too firm and crunchy once it cools.

Loved your Famous Amos Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies but now i want to try this one. Does this really only make 5 cookies?

[travistruz]

Hi! I wanna ask is the cake flour necessary? Can it be substituted with other ingredients?

[MusicMediaShows]

They were lovely gooey in the middle and chewy! But mine spread a bit more than yours, that is what went wrong hehe :D But overall the recipe worked!

[samanthalee]

Hi! Is it possible to use air fryer to bake the cookies instead of an oven? :)

[Ssdont]
