Levain Bakery Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip Copycat Cookies

Course Dessert
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cold Butter cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Dark Baking Cocoa
  • 1 cup Cake Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/3 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 410 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a big bowl, let's start by creaming together the cold butter and sugars until it's light and fluffy – takes about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.
  • Time to bring in the chocolatey magic! Add the dark baking cocoa, cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Stir it all up until it's beautifully combined. Now, fold in those delicious semisweet chocolate chips.
  • Give your dough a little chill time – about 15 minutes should do the trick.
  • Now, let's shape the dough into some generous balls and place them on a lightly colored cookie sheet. If you're feeling fancy with a scale, aim for cookies ranging from 4.5 to 6 ounces. You'll fit 4-6 cookies on one large sheet, and trust me, it's worth it. This dough makes 8-12 extra-large cookies.
  • Into the oven they go! Bake for 9-11 minutes or until they sport a lovely golden brown on top. Once they're out, let these beauties rest for at least 10-15 minutes to set.
