levain bakery

 

In my opinion, the BEST cookie in NYC (or the world?) comes from Levain Bakery. It's huge, weighing in at 6 ounces, and has the perfect mix of textures. The outside is crisp and chewy, while the center is basically warm, almost-raw cookie dough. Their cult classic is a chocolate chip walnut cookie, but you cannot go wrong with any of their offerings. I’d happily eat any (all?) of them any day of the week, but my favorites are the dark chocolate peanut butter chip and the oatmeal raisin cookies! I only wish they were located closer to me, but it's probably for the best that they aren't! Of course, Levain, if you want to open in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, I wouldn't say no... YUM! I love these so much that I created a Levain Bakery Wannabe Cookie recipe, which I definitely recommend checking out to get your fix in the comfort of your own kitchen. You can also order them online if that sounds more up your alley! Either way, I hope you enjoy :)
