It is time...



These are perhaps the best chocolate chip cookies that I have ever tasted. My mom and I found the recipe when she was out here in South Carolina right after I had Gus. She was watching Food Network and they featured a bakery in NYC called the Levain Bakery and made me look it up online. We did and found out that they don't actually give out their recipe but they do give links to other peoples blogs who have tried to copy their fabulous cookies and that is where we found this one. So if you love cookies and are looking for a new one to try this one is just the one!!

Enjoy!

Levain Copycat Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 Cup cold butter
2 1/2 Cup flour
2 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 Tsp. Salt
2/3 Cup Brown Sugar
2/3 Cup White Sugar
2 Large eggs cold
12 oz. Chocolate Chips
3/4 Cup Walnuts

In a bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Cut in the cold butter until crumbs. Add sugars and stir well. Add eggs and mix until dough forms. Stir in Choco chips and nuts and chill dough for at least 1 hour. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put 1/2 the dough on a cookie sheet and round it into 7 large balls of dough. Bake for 13-18 mins. (And when we made them we made the dough by hand, didn't use the mixer at all)

They are huge cookies and kind of cake like but super tasty.

Enjoy and happy baking!

PS I swear I miss so much when I go blogless for just a little bit. I missed the post of a week of Gus. So on this post, which I will have to try those cookies look super yummy (maybe we should make them while you are here), I am making a comment about how stinking cute Gus is. We are all so excited to see you...in a week you will be here. YEAH!
