Did you half the recipe or did you half the cookie dough

[@QueenStyles28]

I tried this recipe almost exactly 3 years ago and it was THE BEST double chocolate chip cookie recipe I've ever had in my life (just so perfectly gooey and chocolatey--exactly what I'd want from my favorite type of cookie). I finally got to try an actual Levain double chocolate chip cookie this year and I can confidently say that they don't even come close to this recipe. This recipe is ABSOLUTE PERFECTION and I'm sooooooo glad I tried it back in 2020!!!

[@cheeseck7205]

Ive made these cookies quite a couple times, and ive recently made your chocolate chip and walnut laevain cookies and let me just say, your recipes never fail! These have been my go-to cookies for weeks now, and just the other day i was considering making chocolate chips levain cookies from someone elses channel, but i just knew yours wouldnt dissappoint. Thank you!

[@HijabsandAprons]

Thanks so much for your feedback and support!! I really appreciate it!

[@kostasstav]

I’ve been looking for a good copycat recipe for Levain cookies and I can’t stress enough how great this recipe actually is. They come out super gooey and last for at least 2 days like that. I made this recipe twice in the past 2 weeks and everybody asked for the recipe. Thank you for sharing it.

[@HijabsandAprons]

Thank you so so much for your comment/feedback! I'm so happy to hear you and your loved ones enjoy my recipe for these cookies 🤗

[@orbeat6557]

I made this 30 minutes ago. And I actually had to increase cook time by 5 more minutes coz my first batch turned out like in the video, and to my own preference, I don't quite like it, so I bake it a little longer and it's in the right texture for my 2nd batch. Definitely tastes very heavenly. It's the most gorgeous chocolate cookie I've ever seen and tasted. 🍫🍪

[@TelasDiary]

thanks making these after work

[@TheAnderiaJ]

These cookies are amazing. I made some for Christmas and they did not last. Super fudgy and soft. I'm about to make more now.

[@parmeet7932]

Hey do they stay gooey from the inside even after they’ve cooled. Like maybe the next day ?

[@yuihirasawa5351]

@@parmeet7932you can reheat them

[@smjjcollins4865]

Tried it and wife, kids and family and they love it. I have to make a double batch every time I make it, they don't last. The only thing I did different to add another taste was add butterscotch chips to it with the choc. chip. So I used 400 grams of choc. chip and 200 of butterscotch chips (for 2 batches) in order to keep more of the chocolate flavor . I used Selbourne brand for butterscotch chips which is rich in flavor, not to promote there product, but was one of the better brands that I saw and can smell the difference in quality. I also use this same recipe to make a special cookie for my daughter, minus the choc. chip and cocoa powder and added 300 grams white choc. chip and sprinkles (40 grams of sprinkles) and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. That was a big hit as well

[@orbeat6557]

I made this cookies every single month now and the fact that the dough is so thick it makes handling it so much more easy and that's what I like the most with this recipe. And the cookies turned out so beautiful! The taste is just heavenly!!!

@@HijabsandAprons hi, just wan to ask, this is 83% sugar based on total flour weight.. is it not too sweet? and to note that it also has sweet inclusions like the chocolate? please educate me

[@micah1754]

Looks like an awesome recipe. Personally I'd love to see a bit at the end where you taste test and review the finished product. Feels a bit like the final step is missing! Really nice footage and editing style

[@slb159]

Very nice. As I am allergic to nuts, it is hard to find a Levain Recipe without walnuts.

[@sharmindinahrahman3621]

Followed the recipe and did half peanut butter chips & half milk chocolate chunks instead of just chocolate chips. Oh my they are so so beautiful!! Didn’t realise the peanut butter chips I used had salt in them, in which case i would probably reduce the salt I put in the dough, but other than that they were divine! So glad I came across this recipe!

I think just leave them in for less time. Maybe check it at 7 minutes.

Is using a mixer mandatory?

[@HijabsandAprons]

A stand mixer or hand mixer is highly recommended for ease and thorough mixing because this is kind of a stiff dough. But you're welcome to try by hand 🤗

[@olieb.5490]

Did you used convection oven for this? I tried but i think its still raw inside after 10-13mins

[@HijabsandAprons]

No I didn't! If it's raw inside, cook it longer. If you feel it's browning too much on the outside but isn't cooked through inside, then lower the temperature and cook a couple minutes longer. To check for doneness, break the cookie open after letting it rest for 10 minutes after taking out from the oven. The cookies are meant to finish cooking/set fully as they cool down.
