Puffy Chocolate Chip Cookies – Levain Copycat Recipe

Have y'all ever heard of Levain Bakery in New York? They make the biggest, fattest, puffiest cookies around. They're a bit expensive and hard to get if you don't live near their bakery. Sure, you could order online, but I'm not one to shell out $22.00 for four cookies. I'll just make my own, thankyouverymuch.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat together the cold butter and sugar until barely combined, about 1 minute on lowest speed. Do not beat until creamed or fluffy! Add the egg and vanilla and continue to beat until combined.
  3. Mix together the dry ingredients and add them to the butter and sugar mixture. You should have a very stiff, lightly sticky dough. If needed, add another tablespoon of flour. Add the chocolate chips and nuts and mix until combined.
  4. Measure out the dough in equal portions depending on the size you want them. Levain Bakery makes 6oz cookies, I made 3oz cookies. Place the cookies on your baking sheet and place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to chill the dough again. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading.
  5. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the outsides are lightly browned and the insides are mostly done. Cool on a wire rack.
