Levain Style Cookie

serves:8
prep time:15
cook time:12 - 14

These are thick New York style cookies (like the ones from Levain bakery!), they’re studded with chocolate chips and best served slightly warm and gooey. This recipe is also really easy and doesn’t need any chilling time. Because this cookie is basically all chocolate chips, definitely choose a brand that you like! You can use any type of chocolate chip (milk, dark, white…), but my favourite is milk.

Levain Style Double Chocolate Cookies

These are thick New York style cookies (like the ones from Levain bakery!), they’re studded with chocolate chips and best served slightly warm and gooey. This recipe is also really easy and doesn’t need any chilling time. Because this cookie is basically all chocolate chips, definitely choose a brand that you like! You can use any type of chocolate chip (milk, dark, white…), but my favourite is milk. 

This recipe makes about 8-9 very big cookies. These cookies are perfect by themself, but they also make a great dessert, just warm them slightly and serve with some ice cream! 

Levain Style Cookie

What ingredients do you need for this dish (includes possible substitutions)? 

Plain flour: plain flour provides the structure and is also known as ‘all purpose flour’ 

Cocoa powder: this is essential to this recipe so can’t be omitted 

Baking powder: helps the cookies rise 

Butter: unsalted butter is best used here 

Light brown sugar and caster sugar: a mix of sugar gives the cookies flavour and allows for the perfect level of spread 

Egg: use any (chicken!) egg 

Vanilla extract: add as much or as little as you like 

Milk chocolate chips: milk chocolate chips are my favourite to use (dark chocolate can be a bit intense in my opinion), but use whatever you want, or a mixture!

What to serve this with? 

These cookies are perfect served slightly warm (placing in the microwave for 20-30 seconds works particularly well). They’re great by themselves or served with some vanilla ice cream for dessert.
