Description
These Levain Bakery two chip chocolate chip cookies are inspired by the famous Levain cookies. These buttery cookies are made with both semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips. The cookies are crispy on the outside, thick, chewy and loaded with melty chocolate chips. The cookies can be made in one bowl and only take 12 minutes to bake. No dough chilling required.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, beat the cold butter and sugars until creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
3. Add in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips. Mix JUST until combined. You don’t want to overmix the dough as it can make the cookies tough and dry.
4. Scoop the cookies by heaping 3 tablespoon measurements. You should get 8 large cookies. Roll into a ball. Place the cookies on the prepared parchment paper. Add a few extra chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough balls.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes. If you want a more gooey cookie, bake for 12 minutes. If you want a cookie that is a bit more done, bake closer to 14 minutes. Keep an eye on the cookies so they don’t over bake! Allow the cookies to set for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire cooling rack. The cookies will be soft, so be careful!
6. Allow to fully cool before storing. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Storage: After the cookies completely cool, you may store these in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature. You can also store these in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Freezing Instructions for Cookie Dough: If you would like to freeze a few of the cookie dough balls, you certainly can do so! Unbaked cookie dough balls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months. To bake, add an extra minute or two to the baking time (I would lean on the longer end of baking time). No need to thaw.
