Their signature recipe is the wonderfully HUGE chocolate chip walnut cookie. It\u2019s exactly what you want in a chocolate chip cookie, crispy on the outside while staying perfectly gooey in the center. Originating in 1995 when two friends selling fresh-baked breads whipped up a batch of the very large cookies, and they quickly became a favorite of New York City locals and visitors.<\/p>\n<p>The Levain cookie recipe is just as easy as your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/the-best-chocolate-chip-cookies\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">chocolate chip cookie<\/a> recipe, but the ratio of ingredients and the size of the cookie make it absolutely amazing and a must-try! You could say these cookies are <em>life-changing<\/em>. One try and you\u2019ll never want to make another chocolate chip cookie! <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients-for-levain-chocolate-chip-walnut-cookies\">Ingredients for Levain Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>A few essential ingredients and the ratio of ingredients make these cookies a cult favorite! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> It\u2019s best to use unsalted butter that is slightly softened but still cold.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dark Brown Sugar:<\/strong> More brown sugar\u00a0than white keeps the cookies softer and chewier in the middle with crispy, delicious edges.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar:<\/strong> For the perfect amount of sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Use 3 large\u00a0room temperature eggs to create the perfect rich texture. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract:<\/strong> Adds warm sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> Levain cookies use a mix of cake flour and all-purpose flour to get the perfect texture. I don\u2019t recommend using any other flours for this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking Staples:<\/strong>\u00a0Baking powder, baking soda and salt ensure that these copycat Levain cookies bake properly with the right amount of tenderness and lift.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/semi-sweet-chocolate-morsels-12oz-good-38-gather-8482\/-\/A-79472488#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips<\/a>:<\/strong> The classic chocolate variety for chocolate chip cookies!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Walnut Pieces:<\/strong> Chunks of walnut pieces are a signature ingredient in these iconic cookies.

Why else would people travel to New York just to try one? They are <em>that<\/em> good.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Beat Butter and Sugar:<\/strong> Add the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed until combined.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beat the Eggs and Vanilla:<\/strong> Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until just combined.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stir in the Dry Ingredients:<\/strong> Add the cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix until just barely combined.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Chocolate Chips and Walnuts &amp; Chill Dough:<\/strong> Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips and walnut pieces by hand. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place Mounds of Dough on a Pan:<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.\u00a0Remove the dough from the fridge and weigh out 12 6-ounce portions. Don\u2019t roll the dough together, just make it into messy blobs of dough. Levain Bakery doesn\u2019t \u201cmake baseballs\u201d of the dough and prefers it to be rough and textured.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake:<\/strong> Place in the oven and bake for 10-11 minutes, until the top and bottom of the cookie are beginning to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 12-15 minutes, allowing them to continue cooking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve:<\/strong> Once cooled, enjoy the same day they are baked. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"4-photo collage of the cookie dough being mixed together.\" class=\"wp-image-229051\" title=\"New York City's most beloved cookie, the Levain Cookie is perfectly crisp around the edges with an irresistible thick and gooey center. \" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies.png 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-150x150.png 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/copycat-levain-cookie\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Levain Cookie\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-1200x1200.png\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-1200x1200.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-1200x1200.png\" alt=\"4-photo collage of the cookie dough being mixed together.\" class=\"wp-image-229051\" title=\"New York City's most beloved cookie, the Levain Cookie is perfectly crisp around the edges with an irresistible thick and gooey center. \" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies.png 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/copycat-levain-cookie\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Levain Cookie\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain-cookies-1200x1200.png\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips cwp-large\"><!-- .block-quick-tips__icon --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips__inner\">\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips__content cwp-inner\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Making Levain Cookies<\/h3>\n<p>Here are a few substitutions and tips, so that this copycat Levain Cookie recipe turns out perfectly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make Them Nut Free:<\/strong> If you remove the walnuts, be sure to replace them with an equal amount of chocolate chips. The walnuts provide volume and if you remove them without replacing them, the cookies won\u2019t maintain the structure needed for a true oversized Levain cookie.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t like semi-sweet?<\/strong> Use milk chocolate! Or peanut butter or butterscotch chips. Really, any kind of chip will work wonderfully. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Cake Flour Substitution:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t have cake flour, don\u2019t replace it with all-purpose flour! The cake flour has less gluten and lends a softer texture to the cookies. Instead, measure out 1 \u00bc cup of all-purpose flour and then remove 1 tablespoon + 1 \u00bd teaspoons of flour. Replace that with 1 tablespoon + 1 \u00bd teaspoons of cornstarch. Whisk together and then proceed as directed in the recipe card. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Top-down view of a baked Levain cookie.\" class=\"wp-image-228742\" title=\"New York City's most beloved cookie, the Levain Cookie is perfectly crisp around the edges with an irresistible thick and gooey center. \" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-150x225.jpg 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/copycat-levain-cookie\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Levain Cookie\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-1200x1799.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-1200x1799.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-1200x1799.jpg\" alt=\"Top-down view of a baked Levain cookie.\" class=\"wp-image-228742\" title=\"New York City's most beloved cookie, the Levain Cookie is perfectly crisp around the edges with an irresistible thick and gooey center. \" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/copycat-levain-cookie\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Levain Cookie\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/levain_cookies-1200x1799.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout cwp-large\"><!-- .block-leftovers-callout__icon --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout__inner\">\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout__content cwp-inner\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storing-leftovers\">Storing Leftovers <\/h3>\n<p>If you are lucky enough to have leftover Levain Cookies, here are tips for storing and warming them up!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Room Temperature:<\/strong> While these cookies are best enjoyed still warm out of the oven, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Rewarm:<\/strong> To reheat, place the cookies in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for just a few minutes, until warmed through. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Freezing:<\/strong> To freeze for later, wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a large freezer bag.
