Indulge in the warm, gooey delight of Levain Bakery’s famous chocolate chip cookies, featuring a crispy edge and chewy center packed with chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 410°F (210°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the cold cubed butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, if using.
- Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, ensure your butter is cold and avoid overmixing the dough.
