Levain Bakery-Style Super-Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies

are a copycat version of the famous cookies from Levain Bakery, known for their gigantic size and gooey, decadent texture. These cookies are the epitome of indulgence, boasting a thick, chewy center and slightly crisp edges. What makes them stand out is the perfect balance between rich, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chips and a soft, buttery dough. The dough is made with plenty of butter, brown sugar, and a hint of vanilla, resulting in a sweet, rich flavor that complements the large chunks of semi-sweet chocolate in every bite. The cookies are baked to create a golden, slightly crisp exterior while maintaining a soft, doughy interior that stays gooey long after baking. Perfectly sized for sharing (or not), these Levain Bakery-Style Super-Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies are a treat you’ll savor with every bite—ideal for satisfying your chocolate cravings or enjoying with a cold glass of milk.

Ingredients:

– 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 410°F (210°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the cold cubed butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out 1/4 cup of dough for each cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
