Now when it comes to the flour… I stand by using cornflour in my other recipes. I’m not the biggest fan of caster sugar in cookies anymore – and if you try this recipe as listed, you will agree with me! Switch the sugars to caster sugar can really change the texture. You really want to stick to these if you can – but you can use all brown, or all white if you have to. This is similar to my other recipes, such as my Mini Egg cookie bars – in the fact that it gives the best flavour and texture. I use a mix of two sugars… light brown sugar (soft), and white granulated sugar. Stick to the recipe for at least the first time, and then you can try altering it to different sugars and so on! Sugar If you want the cookies that are in the photos, you want to STICK TO THE RECIPE. One key to these cookies is genuinely, as annoying as it’s going to sound… but trusting the recipe. They are definitely different from the rest of my cookies, but that’s what we want – NYC cookies are a world of their own. I teased this post on my Instagram a little while ago and you guys went crazy for them… so I hope you are READY!! I basically just wanted to create giant chocolate chip cookies, that resemble NYC chocolate chip cookies, that are easier to make. What flavours actually go into them, what order you put the ingredients in, and so on! Lots of recipes use a mix of two flours, but I like to stick to just one!

When researching into recipes, what Levain Bakery and other bakeries such as Creme in London and so on do.

There are so many factors when it comes to making these cookies – and jeez it’s hard to get them all right. I have honestly made about 20 batches of cookies now, to get these right. There are many great NYC chocolate chip cookies recipes out there – this recipe from Modern Honey is great, so is this one from Cupcake Jemma, or this one from Kirbie Cravings! When it comes to making a recipe for them though, I will say that these are not authentic Levain Bakery cookies, as I just don’t think they can be recreated. Not only was I finally taking in the sites of Central Park, in actual New York City, but the cookies… wow. I managed to get in when there was absolutely no queue, and then trotted over to Central Park to enjoy them, and my gosh it was the best thing ever. I heard lots and lots of talk about Levain Bakery on my social channels before I went, and my gosh they did not disappoint. Oh, holy geeeeeeee they were insanely epic. The best of all, for me personally, was the ones from Levain Bakery. I wasn’t prepared or willing to post an NYC chocolate chip cookies recipe before I had actually eaten some for myself! I feel like that is pushing the limit really… can you make a recipe for something as famous as this, if you haven’t even there and eaten them?!Īnyway. But anyway… I will say the reason they took this long to come to my blog, is because I only, finally, went to New York four months ago, so I finally got to try some classic NYC cookies for myself! I have finally given you all the recipe that you have been after, for such a long long time. Please see my disclosure for more details!* Giant, gooey and utterly delicious NYC chocolate chip cookies based on the famous cookies from New York City!!Ĭan we take a minute, right at the beginning of this blog post, to appreciate… that I have given you guys this recipe.
