Levain Bakery Copycat Chocolate Chip Cookies

My son and I love cookies! When I stumbled upon the Levain Bakery Copycat Chocolate Chip Cookies, I knew I had to share the recipe! 

It seems cookies don’t last very long in our home. When I do buy them, my son devours them! Since I am on a budget and trying to cut expenses, I thought I should try making our own cookies!

I also like making muffins at home. My son loves muffins. Plus, they make a great breakfast option. He doesn’t really eat cereal or breakfast but he will eat muffins, so these are perfect for our mornings! We like the Cherry Almond Muffins, Pumpkin Spiced Banana Nut Muffins, and Double Chocolate Chip Pistachio Muffins. 

Levain Bakery Copycat Chocolate Chip Cookie

Ingredients:

1 C cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

3/4 C lightly packed light brown sugar

1/2 C granulated white sugar

2 large eggs

1 C cake flour

1 3/4 C all purpose flour

1 TSP cornstarch

1 TSP baking soda

1/2 TSP table salt

2 C roughly chopped walnuts

2 C semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 410°F. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and sugars.

Cream until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Since you are dealing with cold butter, start on low speed for about 30 seconds.

Switch to medium speed for another 30 seconds and then high speed for 1 minute.

Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl, then add in eggs.

Mix on medium speed until incorporated.

Add in cake flour, all purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.

Mix on the lowest speed until all the flour is just incorporated, careful not to over mix.

Add in walnuts and mix on the lowest speed for about 5 revolutions until walnuts are evenly incorporated into the dough.

Add in chocolate chips and mix on the lowest speed for about 5 revolutions until chocolate chips are evenly incorporated into the dough.

Remove dough from bowl and mix with hands a few times to make sure chocolate chips and walnuts are evenly distributed.

Dough should be quite sticky.

You should grab the dough by the handful and lightly form a very loose ball.

Make sure to keep it loose as the cookies should be airy and not compacted.

Place only four cookies on each baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, so that they don’t spread onto each other.

Bake only one sheet at a time in the middle row of the oven for about 12-13 minutes.

The tops of the cookies should be a light brown and the dough should look cooked, but the cookies should not be fully set.

Let cookies cool at least 15 minutes, this gives them a chance to set so that you can remove the cookies without them breaking and will also allow inside of the dough to cook a little more.

Make sure you don’t move the cookies before they are set.

They should still be gooey inside even after you wait 15 minutes.

Cookies are best eaten warm.

Enjoy!
