Levain is a famous bakery in New York City that makes some of the best chocolate chip cookies in the world. They’re crunchy, extremely delicious, and full of chocolate.
Many bakes have tried to figure out the recipe for this heavenly dessert and many have failed. However, Melissa Stadler from Modern Honey was successful in this mission and she was so generous to share the recipe with all of us. So enjoy!

- Stir in flours, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
