Levain Bakery Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Levain Bakery Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies are extra-large, rich cookies combining cold butter creamed with sugars, dark cocoa powder, flours, and peanut butter chips. The dough is chilled briefly before baking to achieve a thick, chewy texture with a deep chocolate base enlivened by peanut butter chips. Baking at a high temperature yields a crisp top and a moist, set center after resting post-bake.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter cut into small cubes, cold
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 egg
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa dark
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cup peanut butter chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 410 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together cold butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Add cocoa, cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and stir until combined. Stir in peanut butter chips (or can substitute chocolate chips).
  4. Chill dough for 10 minutes.
  5. Separate dough into large balls and place on lightly colored cookie sheet. Lightly press on top of dough to smooth out. They are bigger than you think! You will fit 4 cookies on one large cookie sheet. The dough makes 8 extra large cookies.
  6. Bake for 8-11 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes to set.
