My wife took me here to try cookies and I was like “meh sure why not” . I ate my first levain cookie (double chocolate chip) fresh out the oven and that first bite took my mind, body and soul somewhere I have not been before. My wife was with me talking to me while I was eating and I did not listen to more than 2 words out of her mouth. During the whole time I was eating this cookie, i gradually shifted my 👀 from my wife and had to be totally focused on how every ingredient in this cookie was possible. These cookies are GOAT status
I stood in a very long line on a Sunday afternoon (it moved fairly quickly considering the length) a couple of weeks ago to see what the hype is all about. Let me say I would wait in a line twice as long to get my hands on these cookies again. THEY ARE TRULY THAT GOOD!!! I'll be in NYC again in August & Levain's bakery is top of my to do list & this time I'm going to lay that $$$$ on the counter cause I want several to take home with me.
@@cyresscarlton5612 they were better back in the day. I think they they expanded to multiple stores a few years ago and the cookies no longer taste the same.
Ladies I first started going to your bakery in April 2001 when I moved from London to West 75th Street. I was just there 2 weeks ago (March 2023) & cookies still as good as ever. Well done & thank you. D
It is quite the understatement, your cookies are the BEST:. Your cookies are the ONLY "THE BEST COOKIES, EVER". Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah song all day long....😀🎶🇺🇸
3:45 LMAO! that look of disgust the short hair lady gives the blonde lady for licking the paddle lol. At least we know that licking the paddles isn't a normal thing over there.
Monica H I seen white people do that every where. Go to a fairway where they offer bread with different selection of olive oil. You will see whytes double dipping the bread back in the oil olive
I baked a cookie similar to thisnin 2020. I caught covid got bored the state was in a shutdown. I made a triple chocolate chunk cookie., Im going tobtry adding caramel chips the next time I make cookies. Omgggg they looked just like these cookies. I had three pans of cookies to hand iut to my family. I forgot we all had Covid. They were just slightly smaller than Levain cookie. Think I will make some this week
The fact that they don’t roll it into dough balls I think is one of they key reasons it’s airy and cakey aside from the traditional creaming method and possibly aerating the batter when the eggs are in
@@orbeat6557 I don’t think so, if you recall the cookie was made to fuel their trainings, so they needed more protein or energy or gluten, it could be the flour.
@@luzgomez2843 what protein? If they use protein or more gluten the cookies will be dense and hard lol. If they need the cookie to retain the shape, like big and tall like that and not flat like most cookies, they do need to use both baking soda and baking powder. If only baking powder the cookies won't come out the way it did.
Every cookie video I’ve watched so far (looking for recipe ideas) - say that levain is the best... so I searched for u guys...delighted u have a channel! I subscribed , I don’t live in the states so gonna have a go at making the chocolate and walnut ones myself tomorrow 🙃😆
Amazing! They look incredible😊 I must try them lol and Connie....you are SO Irish!! If you weren't born here...your people must have left here not too long ago!! 😊💛💛💛
I don't think they refrigerated the dough. Usually the dough is refrigerated if the butter is "browned" or melted first. It is said that they use cold butter, so I doubt they refrigerate the dough before baking it. The only way you'll know what actually tastes better is to experiment yourself, that's what I'm doing.
Actually not a problem as long as she does not use the paddle or her hands again before washing them. I would imagine as well that she only did that for the camera.
These cookies are good but they are NOT the best I’ve had. But i will say i think it’s just a matter of preference. I’m happy that many people love them but it’s too thick for me and I’m not a fan of so much dark chocolate strong taste with the semi sweet. I like semi sweet and milk chocolate together. And i prefer a flatter crispier edge with the chewy gooey center. ❤
Hi ladies, omg I would love to come over there and see you make these beautiful cookies, I’ll be honest, iv have made these but yours do look better , yummy yummy, it’s a shame England is so far away 😢xx
To see that they dont even chill the dough and straight to the oven making me perplexed coz so many chocolate chip cookies recipes will tell you to chill the dough for few hours or even up to 24hrs
You guys need to add a bit more salt to your cookies, I tried them and they were amazing and gooey but just a little more slat would push them over the edge.
add more baking soda or try using baking powder. see which one gives you a better texture. Try refrigerating the dough for 1-2 hours (up to 24 hours) before baking.
Looks like a large brick of butter, a sack of sugar, a bigger sack of flour, like 2 cartons of eggs, a sack of brown sugar. And some walnuts if you want them.
me either im a fan of your Chocolate chips i have tried my own recipe almost like your cookies.. i hope i can Visit your bakery im from the Philippines.. I do love your cookies im craving for it everytime i see your cookies in you tube
Can u share your recipe?so I can try it at home.I’m from the Philippines!I just wanna taste it,know how this supestar Levain cookies are known all over the world
@@ceecee8757 That's not the point, they are dealing with the public and they should have on hair nets, mask and gloves dealing in food service. Also some lye soap, it kills everything. It's also a choice knowing this lady is licking the paddle to the mixer. I don't eat at restaurant and choose not to. Everyone has that right. I'm not replying out of disrespect.
its been months of me trying to figure out how da hack can their cookies stood up thick and not becoming old CDs without freezing them before baking yet the inside is kinda half-baked with all the melted chocolate and the outside turns to beautiful crisp land of hills
They probably run 6 miles daily before work..or have a great metabolism. I could Not work there....at all I love, love,love carbohydrates way to much.😣😣😒😒😒😔😔
What a tease! “We’re gonna show you how to make our cookies”. Yeah right! No details on flour mixture. Didn’t even mention baking time or temperature. Give me a break! Why bother making video at all.
