Copycat Levain Bakery Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
These decadent double chocolate chip cookies are thick, soft, and rich. They taste very close to the dark chocolate chocolate chip cookies from Levain Bakery in New York City.
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted cold butter cut into small cubes
1 cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup graulated white sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder try to use a premium brand for richer flavor
1 cup cake flour
1½ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp cornstarch
¾ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks or roughly chopped chocolate
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 410°F.
In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add in cocoa, cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and set mixer on lowest speed setting to stir until dough is just combined (please note in the video the mixing is sped up to keep the video short). You want the dough to be smooth and uniform in color, but you don't want to overmix it. Stir in chocolate chunks.
Place the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes to chill.
Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats. Measure out about 4.3 oz of dough and roll into a ball. Place several chocolate chips on top and adjust chips until the dough weighs 4.5 oz. Place dough ball onto baking sheet. You will place four on each baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. You should have enough dough to make 8 cookies, but it is best to weigh the balls so that they are all the same size and will cook evenly.
