![]() ![]() I use a little more chocolate than Giada's recipe and, more importantly, I added chopped walnuts (which her recipe did not include). I was struck by how simple the recipe was and gave it a try (with a couple of tweaks) and the rest is history. The cookie has no relations to Italian food but as a fan of the Levain cookie herself, Giada offered up her copy of it. I stumbled upon the recipe for this Levain Bakery style chocolate chip cookie in a surprising place - Giada De Laurentiis' latest book, Giada's Italy. Recently, we received a box of each as a gift and got to try them all. I had my first Levain cookies in 2017 (photos of their chocolate chip walnut cookie from that day below) when we stopped by one of their NYC locations (miraculously, no line at the time) and bought the chocolate chip walnut and chocolate chocolate chip cookies. Levain only makes 4 kinds of cookies (shown above): chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate chocolate chip, dark chocolate peanut butter chip, and oatmeal raisin. A box of these were recently gifted to us (what a treat!) so we finally had the chance to taste all four varieties made by the bakery. And as big as they are, these cookies go down easy and are quite easily habit-forming.Īctual Levain Bakery cookies. This divine texture - served up in a big way - is what makes me crave them. The huge cookies are crisp on the outside and so soft, gooey, and melty in the center. To me, the Levain cookies are all about texture. Known for their big cookies (and I do mean, big, as they weigh in at 6 ounces a piece), typically served up still warm from the oven, they have a serious cult following. If you live around New York City or ask New Yorkers about places for great chocolate chip cookies, you're likely to hear about Levain Bakery. I'm thinking about warm comfort foods - like big, warm, melty chocolate chip cookies! Now, my nerves are settling down and we're adjusting to fall routines and life with a busy high schooler. The big guy started high school!! I spent the summer trying to come to terms with this huge milestone and all that goes with it. It was a busy summer! We savored the break, took a couple of trips, and got a lot of things done in between. ![]() Somehow we went from June to September! Summer break flashed by all too quickly despite our best efforts to slow it down.Ĭopycat Levain Bakery style cookies I make at home ![]()
