Levain Bakery Style Cookies - Baking with Tray ep. 2

Hello again! 

Yesterday on my "Baking with Tray" live bake session on instagram I made Levain Bakery Style Cookies! I haven't actually been to Levain Bakery before ... so unsure of what the cookie is supposed to taste like... but I've seen so many videos and posts of these style of cookies that I wanted to try it out!


I have to say... these cookies were delicious! Big, chunky, chocolately, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle!

There are so many recipes out there but I decided to go with a recommended one by Cupcake Jemma! 


Levain Bakery Style Cookies
Recipe adapted from Cupcake Jemma

Ingredients
(Makes 6 Large cookies)

115g cold butter, cubed
80g caster sugar
80g light brown sugar
200g choc chips (I used 100g dark and 100g milk)
50g walnuts, roughly chopped
100g self raising flour
150g plain flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp bicarb soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 large egg, beaten

1. Place butter in a large bowl and beat to loosen butter.
2. Add sugars and beat again until just combined.
3. Add chocolate chips and walnuts and mix to combine. 
4. Add dry ingredients (flours, salt, bicarb soda and baking powder) and mix until a breadcrumb like consistency.
5. Add the beaten egg and stir until just combined. 
6. Form into rough balls weighing 125g each. Cover in cling wrap and freeze for at least 90 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 180oC and place a lined baking tray in the oven. Put frozen balls at least 2 inches apart (to allow for spreading) on preheated baking tray and bake for 17-20 minutes (depends on your oven).




Great thing with this recipe is that you can bake from frozen! So you can always have stash in your freezer :D 

Happy baking! Till the next episode.... :)
