Hello  & Happy Tuesday!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let’s talk cookies!

 

If there is one style of cookie I’m currently obsessed with, it’s the Levain style cookies! Levain is a widely loved NYC bakeshop that features all the baked staples. It’s so good you’ll see it on tv left and right and everyone raves about this shop. So how did their cookie become so iconic? 

 

I’ll tell you!

 

Everyone loves a classic chocolate chip cookie, but this approach is just next level. It features cake flour, which adds a lightness, lots of butter (needed), more brown sugar than white for more of a softer cookie texture, and the one strategy I love most is that they make the height of the cookie sky high. By adding height the inside cooks slower making it more of a doughy center. Last but not least, the temperature is key as its higher than traditional cookies at 410 degrees, giving you a crisp outer edge and just a slightly soft center. 

 

The combination of all these variables truly delivers a fab cookie that will make you say, wow, I’m never going back to traditional cookies! With fall around the corner and thinking of the next best variation of this cookie, I knew we had to do a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip!

 

Believe it or not, while I love all things pumpkin.. cookies can be a total miss. If you add too much of it, it becomes more cake like. If you don’t add enough, it looks like every other cookie lol. While pumpkin itself doesn’t offer much flavor, you have to throw a little in as it really brings the flavors full circle. This cookie, does just that without that typical cake like texture! If you loathe those, this cookie is for you!

What’s fab about my vegan version? Everything! It’s modeled after the most sought after Levain cookie recipe, features just flax eggs, you don’t have to sift in the dry ingredients, uses vegan butter and stevia sweetened chocolate chips, rich notes pumpkin and cinnamon, compromises nowhere with texture or flavor, requires minimal chill time (thank goodness), it’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and just hands down, everything you need in a cooking going in the fall!
