Levain Bakery Cookie Recipe

There are lots of recipes out there, and I took some of the most important tips from each one and use ChatGPT to confirm techniques. Some important steps:

-using melted butter to help dissolve the sugars
-leaving the ‘rough edges’ on the cookie balls for crispier textures
-chilling for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) for the flavours to come together

If you don’t like dark chocolate chips, you can raise the milk chocolate ratio or just use semi-sweet entirely.

Here’s my Walnut & Chocolate ‘Levain’ Cookie recipe:

1 ½ cups cake flour2 cups AP flour1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ baking soda
1 ½ tsp salt1 ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted1 ¼ cup packed brown sugars½ cup white granulated sugar1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips
½ cups milk chocolate chips1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, lightly toasted2 large eggs
3 egg yolks

P.S. Happy Birthday @laiiners & Pat!
