Let's make Copycat Levain Chocolate Chip Cookies
When Levain opened in Boston the lines were out the door. This popular cookie restaurant has a signature cookie that's packed with chocolate chips and it's massive. The cookies are a little pricey so I wouldn't suggest going everyday but it's fun for a little sweet treat when you visit the city. You know I'm all for saving money and making desserts at home so I decided to try this recipe. After a deep dive on Reddit, I saw that the ingredients were all the same throughout. The basic cookie ingredients such as
- Flour
- Baking Soda
- Light Brown Sugar
- Granulated Sugar
- Butter
- Vanilla Extract
- Salt
- Chocolate Chips
Tips:
There are a few things with this recipe that is necessary. You need a stand mixer for the dough. it's thick and a hand mixer won't work for this recipe. Next is that with traditional cookie recipe you can use your cookie scoop but for this recipe you can shape this dough by hand and make it look a little rough. It doesn't need to be a perfect ball shape. The imperfect shape gives these cookies the Levain cookie style.
Bake time:
I baked these Copycat Levain Chocolate Chip Cookies at 375 for 15 minutes. You can adjust the bake time depending on how hot your oven gets or if you want your cookies slightly underbaked. 15 minutes was the perfect amount of time for these cookies. The inside is soft and the outside is a little bit crispy. My type of cookie!
