I read an article about CC cookies in the Dallas Morning News about the perfect chocolate chip cookies. They went into the science of the process by interviewing professional bakers who sell highly-lauded cookies. The tip which I found most interesting and intriguing (and had never heard of or tried) was that chilling the dough for 36 hours is the secret key to a better cookie, in texture, taste, and appearance. The reason put forth was that the 36 hours gives the moist ingredients more time to incorporate into the dry ingredients. I thought it was weird, but could be true, so I just HAD to try it! I am pleased to tell you that I achieved a much better cookie with this tip. Just thought you would find this interesting!

Lisa!

I stumbled across your site while looking for the Levain Cookie recipe, and I have to say that what you’re doing here is AMAZING!!! I made your original Levain copycat cookies, and my husband and I agree that they are the BEST CC Cookies ever!!! Thank you. I’ve just started browsing your site, but have you thought of venturing in to the world of cheesecakes? I’m always looking for the ultimate cheesecake recipe, and you look like an amazing baker!

- Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Chrissy! I’m so flattered that you and your hubby find my cookies to your liking. I’m still not satisfied as far as the ‘Levain’ clone goes, so I’ll continue to work on them.

  As for selling cheesecakes, that would definitely be part of my baking repertoire when I start up a business!

Now that the Levain Copycat Choco chip walnut cookie is amazing; I have a new Challenge for you. You guessed it another Throw Down with Bobby Flay.

The “Sugardaddy’s Sumptuous Sweeties” Blondie recipe. It looks so good. They did win with this recipe.

I love your posts. i just found you because I was looking for a cookie recipe for Levain’s. I am a chef but haven’t enjoyed baking until recently. I think it has something to do with following directions… Anyhow. There is a bakery near me in Oakland, CA that makes THE BEST CHALLAH IN THE WORLD!! The baker is not the nicest man, a bit of a “Challah Nazi”– he will NOT share his recipe with anyone, but he makes the freshest, sweetest, softest and chewiest challah. It is Grand Bakery on Grand Ave. Any idea how he gets the crust so chewy while the rest is so soft? He also has the perfect balance between sugar and salt. Do you think you can try to replicate? I’d be happy to send you a loaf!

I just wanted to thank you for your amazing blog! I too was in such of the Levain cookie recipe after watching Throwdown. I agree with letting the cookies sit in the frig for a few days. Everyone in my family talks about these cookies. They can’t wait until I make them again so thanks for being a test kitchen for those of us who don’t have the time!!

Coming late to the challah party, but better late than never! My blog post threw up a link to you so thought I’d come over and see this unique twist! And, it’s exactly what I was thinking last night, how lovely this bread would be with a filling in the middle. I too have read that the yolks only dough will be denser and I am going to try that next as the ones I made yesterday, were very light and airy, nothing like the challah that I remember from my childhood. Anyway, this is a great post and I will look forward to having a go at your unique twist soon. Many thanks Joanna

I tried your chocolate chip cookie recipe and they were just what I was looking for! Delish! Was wondering if you have a bagel recipe?

Thanks!

Just finished my second batch of the Levain copy cat. Didn’t have dark brown sugar or milk cc the first time. I have not had the orginal but these were amazing. My daughter gave these her highest compliment which is “That’s Legit”!! How about the Double Tree Hotel cookies, any luck with these? Thank you for sharing!

Hi there, simply become aware of your blog thru Google, and located that it is really informative. I am going to be careful for brussels. I will be grateful should you proceed this in future. Lots of people will probably be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!
