Levain Bakery Cookie Recipe

Tips on making the famous Levain Cookies from NYC! 🍪

There are lots of recipes out there, and I took some of the most important tips from each one and use ChatGPT to confirm techniques. Some important steps:

-using melted butter to help dissolve the sugars
-leaving the ‘rough edges’ on the cookie balls for crispier textures
-chilling for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) for the flavours to come together

If you don’t like dark chocolate chips, you can raise the milk chocolate ratio or just use semi-sweet entirely.

Here’s my Walnut & Chocolate ‘Levain’ Cookie recipe:

1 ½ cups cake flour2 cups AP flour1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ baking soda
1 ½ tsp salt1 ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted1 ¼ cup packed brown sugars½ cup white granulated sugar1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips
½ cups milk chocolate chips1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, lightly toasted2 large eggs
3 egg yolks

P.S. Happy Birthday @laiiners & Pat!

I already screwed up, but heres the recipie in order
;0 see notes in comments before baking, but the tips below arent detrimental to the recipie

In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine
☆ 1¼ cup brown sugar
☆ ½ cup granulated sugar
☆THEN add 1 ¼ cup melted NOT HOT unsalted butter (if you are not adding nuts, only chocolate chips, use 1 cup melted butter)

☆After thats combined, add 2 whole eggs and 3 egg yolks.
(Vanilla is optional, there was no measurement that i found but id say add 1tsp)

☆Once thats mixed, go ahead and add the dry ingredients
☆1½ cups Cake flour
☆2 cups AP flour
☆1 TBSP cornstarch
☆1½ tsp baking powder
☆½ tsp baking soda

Replace 1 egg and 50g of flour with 100g of sourdough discard and ferment in the fridge for 24hrs, and it will make them gut healthy, and it will elevate the flavor to a whole new level.
