They taste very close to the dark chocolate chocolate chip cookies from Levain Bakery in New York City. Preheat oven to 410°F. In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
I recommend chopping a block of chocolate by hand, instead of using chocolate chips. You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate or a mix of both. Levain Bakery cookies have walnuts in them. I have included walnuts in this recipe, but have tried these cookies with other nuts, such as pecans and almonds.
Si has an extremely thorough post on how she developed her Levain copycat recipe, which includes scouring videos and extensive flour trials. This recipe is similar to Modern Honey with some small changes–1/2 cup less cake flour, no cornstarch, added baking powder and 1/4 cup less brown sugar.
For those unfamiliar, Levain Bakeryhas achieved cult-status fame for what they call “New York’s most famous cookie”: oversized creations that are almost scone-like in appearance with irresistibly craggy edges and extraordinarily underbaked centers. They’re so popular that the internet has spawned dozens of copycat recipes.
