New York’s Levain Bakery chocolate chip cookie copycat recipe to enjoy making these delectable cookies in your own home.

This Levain bakery recipe is to die for.  Yes, its a copycat recipe, but I’ve been told this is super close to the real thing.

SO, SO, good.

You all know how much we love our chocolate chip cookies, so I feel like a bit of an expert at this point.  This will be about the 8th chocolate chip cookie on Five Silver Spoons.

This levain bakery recipe if different.  The texture is lighter and fluffier, the inside is a bit doughier and the rise is higher than other recipes.

If I had to say what the secret to Levain bakery cookies is I’d have to say the addition of cake flour.  Cake flour in conjunction with all-purpose flour is the perfect combination.

The cake flour fluffs up the cookie dough to create a unique texture to nestle the two cups of chocolate chips and two cups of freshly chopped walnuts in.

I made these for the first time about a month ago, and again this week.  I just had to add this to our recipe vault.  The reviews were wildly positive for the recipients of these delicious treats.

As always, hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
