Thick, bakery-style chocolate chip cookies inspired by Levain Bakery — made with semisweet and dark chocolate chips for gooey, golden perfection.
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 cold large eggs
3¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 410°F. Line baking sheets with parchment.
Cream butter and sugars until fluffy (3–4 mins).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
Whisk dry ingredients and mix into butter mixture.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop large (6 oz) dough mounds and place on sheet.
Bake for 9–11 mins until golden outside and soft inside.
Cool on sheet 10–15 mins before serving.
For authentic texture, use cold butter and don’t flatten the dough. Add nuts for a classic twist. Dough can be frozen and baked later.
