Recreating Levain Chocolate Chip Cookies Feat. Binging with Babish

[@brulll1176]

Cakeflour doesn’t exist in some countries so here is a substitute Step 1: Measure 1 cup all-purpose flour. Remove 2 Tablespoons. Step 2: Measure 2 Tablespoons cornstarch. Add to the flour. Cornstarch contains less gluten than flour, so it’s a wonderful tenderizing ingredient to help make cake flour. Step 3: Sift together TWICE. Basically, sift into a mixing bowl once. Then run it through the sifter one more time. Sifting not only mixes the two ingredients together appropriately, it aerates the mixture so the consistency is similar to real cake flour. Step 4: Measure 1 cup from this mixture. You’ll have about 1 cup anyway, but sometimes sifting can produce more volume since it’s adding air.

[@lavibele]

OMG thank you!!! I was thinking: what on EARTH is cakeflour??? now I know

[@elenArmonico1317]

maaike verbeke I just looked it up because in Italy it’s all labeled differently. Apparently cake flour is the most common one, very refined and with low protein content, we call it farina 00. All purpose seems to be the one with more protein, for us is farina 0, that I usually use when something needs to rest and rise, like brioche, bread, babbà,... all things with b (no, joking, sorry)

I just made them. I have a shitty electric Whirlpool range so the oven just has the heating element in the bottom. I measured everything in grams to be as precise as possible. At 13 minutes, with 6 oz cookies, I ended up with burnt bottoms and undercooked insides. I suggest making them smaller for "normal" shitty range appliances.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!, I followed this recipe, the cookies were delicious. I didn't have cake flour, so instead, I used self raising flour. I also used 125 g of walnuts instead (I didn't have more) of 165 g. The dough was 1360 g, which means 11 cookies at 170 gr/ 6 oz each with that fascinating rustic look. I used 2 spoons to weigh each cookie, I never touched the dough. The cookies were amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I chilled each cookie dough for 48 hrs before baking. Taste, color, flavor, texture, were incredible!!!!!!!!!!, rich, tall cookie, crispy from the outside and melts in the mouth from the inside. Thank you very much for the recipe!!!!!!!!!!!, the best cookies I've ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a very small oven 30 cm x 30 cm, I only bake one cookie at a time, I preheated the oven for 11 minutes at 220C and baked one cookie for 16 minutes at the highest rack of my oven, it came out perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I followed the recipe and they were delicious. I love taking a good recipe and modifying it to my own preferences, so here's my changes. I used chocolate wafers instead of bars and only 1 1/3 cup roughly chopped, no corn starch, instead of walnuts I used sliced almonds (sweeter then walnuts) that I then crushed and I used half the amount that was called for, also added 1/2 tsp imitation vanilla for more flavor in the dough since these are so fluffy and kind of rely on good chocolate and nuts for flavor and I took some of that out. Lastly and I think this is the most important "change" (uncle Joshua did this good but it can be better) after melting the butter (just barley letting it brown ands more flavor) and mixing it with the sugars, eggs, and vanilla, you gotta keep mixing until the butter is back to room temp. He did this by letting the melted butter rest, but the importance of this step being done correctly was understated. If the butter is to melty and liquid when you add the dry mix in you will have no air and this is why ppl get dense pancake cookies. As the butter starts to harden back up from cooling down, this is when the air can get trapped inside the creamed butter, and we want to preserve the air in this dough, so when we add the dry to the wet creamed butter you only mix/stir/fold as much as you need to to combine them. Over mixing can squeeze the air out and your back to flat cookies. I also don't want 6oz cookies so I used a 2oz scoop over filled and the dough sat over night in the fridge. Cooked at 350°f for about 13-15 min top rack, pull them as soon as the edged are golden ( thats after edges are yellow and before they go brown). This is the best cookie (imo) I have ever made. Lmk if u try it! Edit: I don't buy cake flour cuzzzzz I don't make cakes🤷, not about to start just for cookies. I bet it is better, but I ain't got time for that or space to store it. SO I just used all purpose flour. Whatever the sum of the 2 flours was, that's how much I used. Also weigh ur flour, its just better. Don't use measuring cups for flour....ever.

Ive tried baking these cookies like 4-5 times now and it is sooo goooddd But i have a few changes. - I add around 300g chocolate, thats enough. (Side note: i am a chocolate lover, even for me 300-350g is enough) - I add around 1 cup of crushed wallnuts. I am not sure how much it weights before crushing. - I add around 230-250g butter, i found 280 to be too much. - I add just a little bit more baking soda compared to the recipe. - I havent done it yet but i am planning to add 1.5 or 1.75 cups of white sugar next time instead of 2. - My cookies tend to be smaller as I usually get 18 out of this recipes but they still come out huge imo. So i guess mines are 3-4 oz? -Before shaping the cookies, I chill them for 1-3h and then shape them. After that i chill them in the fridge for another whole day. Also instead of making them like balls, i make them like ellipses to make them taller. - I preheat the oven for 5-10 mins and cook for 20-25 mins on 170-180 degrees. (Note: if u have a small oven, they tend to get hot faster. So maybe skip preheating or lower the temp to 160 if you wanna bake for 20+ mins)

I followed this recipe. I split the mix and made two different cookies: one with 70% Cacao chocolate and walnuts, and another one with milk chocolate (I know, Joshua advised against milk chocolate, but I already had those two Hershey's bars) and M&M's. However I found three things to consider: 1. I discovered that the milk chocolate and m&m's cookies flattened significantly more than the other ones (dark chocolate and walnuts cookies). I am not sure if it was because of the kind of chocolate, but my guess is that the walnuts helped avoiding more mix from melting, hence maintaining the thickness. In any case, y couldn't get very thiccc cookies, at least not as thick as Joshua got. I'm gonna experiment with proportions to see if something thick-wise changes. 2. I could get lightly thicker cookies by making them half the size (3 oz ea) and baking them the next day. Probably longer refrigeration times helps with that. 3. I had a bad time with the first batch: I am not sure if it is because of my oven, but i couldn't cook the cookies properly with the 425°F/220°C and 10/13 minutes setup. It overcooked in the outside and remained way too underdone in the inside. It was a total mess cause they couldn't even keep their shape while holding them with my hands. My solution was to change the temperature-time setup to 360°F/180°C and 20 minutes... and the results are amaziiinnggg. Damn I am so proud I could make such majestic cookies, I never thought I would be able to do it. Thanks Joshua!

@@taranwalia1070 you can do that by combining all purpose flour and cornstarch. So for any quantity of cake flour needed use 85% APF & 15% cornstarch. Make sure to sift it well together before adding in any other ingredients

Hi guys for anyone new trying to recreate this. This recipe is spot on! So a couple of things i found. After you make the cookie, let it rest in the fridge for 3hrs then put them all in the freezer overnight (after you have shaped them into 6oz balls) i got a better height and structure and it’s cooked perfectly brown on the outside and not burnt all. If you want to bake it, pre-heat your oven for 5-10 mins and then directly from the freezer bake the cookie. Mine turned out insane i got a bit of a higher rise compared to the video. Please make sure you let the dough rest and stayed in the oven overnight

[@MemoirofaKitchenGirl]

Baked these and so glad I did. Hits left, right centre. I browned my butter because I am extra like that! Also cut down on the brown sugar by 1/4 (used only half a cup) and was still intensely sweet. Definitely a new fav. Thanks Josh

[@cherrybomb3098]

i did the same! when recipes include more than one types of sugar though (good recipes usually do), i tend to follow the original ratio when reducing the sugars, it helps to keep the flavour and texture intended in the original recipe

[@MemoirofaKitchenGirl]

@@cherrybomb3098 yes, true!

[@dcvillanueva3951]

Hey hi, may I ask if you used only 1/2 cup of brown sugar instead the original ratio which is 1 1/4 cup (285g)? Or just reduced 1/4 cup and used only 1 cup of brown sugar? Thanks

[@MemoirofaKitchenGirl]

@@dcvillanueva3951 I used 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 granulated sugar and it was still quite sweet. Perfect for a sweet tooth.

[@Pat_Omar]

Question if I may ask, I used light brown sugar to the grams as said by Josh. The ones I baked seemed to be a little less sugary then I thought they would. Any tips to help with the sweetness/flavor? Like dark brown sugar?

I feel like vanilla extract might be that last little missing component to get them the rest of the way there? Never had the original, haven't made these, but that's just a gut feeling from me - the best chocolate chip cookies I've had have always had just a little splash of vanilla extract to really make the chocolate stand out.

[@jimmyje5608]

Add 1.5or 2tsp of vanilla and espresso powder to compliment the chocolate. They may not be in levains cookies, but it makes them taste better.

[@jimmyje5608]

If u want the texture of these but want to amp up the flavour even more, you can brown your butter (make sure to add water to it because it cooks off some moisture) you could also add cinnamon, but I dont know how dark brown sugar will play with keeping the height. It will probabaly be fine though. So if u add 1tsp espresso powder, 2tsp vanilla ext., .5tsp cinnamon, browned butter, and dark brown sugar you will have a flavor bomb on your hands

They are amazing- it's worth all the ingredients involved and you feel legendary once you made them... I even stirred it all by hand.

I made these cookies with white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate and walnuts. The bottoms of my cookies completely burnt while the centers were still raw. If anyone is reading this, I recommend you drop the heat and increase the bake time to get an even bake.

Portion them when the dough is soft and individually wrap the portions in plastic wrap. Then freeze for longer term storage or chill to make later. Easier than trying to portion cold dough.

I've found that this recipe is great, browning the butter ruins the texture. I personally cool the entire dough for 2 hours then portion and cool for another 2 hours. I then cook them for about 25 minutes at 335 F and they come out perfectly.

I liked it more than I typically like dark chocolate on it's own and gives the cookie a lot of depth but there's an element of bitterness I didn't love. If you want it to be a little sweeter but keep the complexity I might try a weaker dark chocolate (20 to 30 percent?) or mixing dark and milk half and half so you can still have that sweetness.
