The elusive best chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s been searched for high and low, experimented with since the dawn of time (presumably), and many claim to have the best and many do! This is MY best and, turns out, a fave of many family and friends, so I wanted to share it. These cookies are requested over and over again and it seems they are quite cherished when I deliver. Even more of a reason to share the greatness that is this chocolate chip cookie.
Searching for a recipe I could call my own in this great realm of chocolate chip cookie-ness started long ago, but reached its peak when I had my first cookie from Levain Bakery in NYC, courtesy of my ever-thoughtful husband. Those Levain cookies are epic. Gigantic, for one, super thick and cakey, baked just enough that they’re not raw, but you’re actually not sure if they are or not, and oozing with flavor and chocolatey goodness. They cost about $4 each which does not stop me for a second from buying one of every flavor. I’ve been back many a time and they never fail to impress in terms of size and flavor. I vowed after taking my very first bite that I’d try my darnedest to replicate this cookie to produce a version I could call my own.
