Copycat Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookie
Ingredients
- 115 g Cold butter 1/2 cup
- 1/2 cup Dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup White sugar
- 1 Large cold egg or two small
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cup All purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- 1 cup Semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a bowl beat the sugars and butter together for around 5 mins until light and fluffy
- Add eggs, and vanilla. Beat together making sure to scrape sides
- Add the dry ingredients and using a rubber spatula fold them until well incorporated. You might feel it's a bit dry but keep folding they will all come together nicely
- Fold in chocolate chips and if you want some crushed walnuts
- Chill in fridge for 30 min or more
- Once ready to bake, preheat oven to 190C, once it's hot, scoop out the cookie dough and place on a baking sheet that's been placed on a baking tray
- 12 mins into baking check them, you do not want them overcooked. Once the sides become golden brown remove them from the oven, set them aside until they completely cool down before you devour them
Notes
Author used cake flour, i don’t have access to it and didn’t feel like making it but feel free to google Cake flour and replace 3/4 of the flour with it.
If you want to use walnuts, toast them first
Do not use room temperature eggs or butter. STRAIGHT from fridge.
You can make large cookies, or medium sized ones. For larger cookies push baking time to 15 min
Hello
heat up and down in the oven? Fan on?
Cherine
Down with fan on 🙂
Do you press on the cookie or just scoop it ? And how do i store it?
If you feel after baking it hasn’t spread the way you want it to, bang the pan while still hot until you reach the desired shape. Store in a tupperware outside fridge
Hello! How do you beat the cold butter? In a mixer with the dough hook? It doesn’t work with the usual hook…
Hi! It works with the paddle attachment, you need to keep beating. Make sure to cut into cubes before, its easier
How many cookies this recipe makes? Is normal size not large
