My wife took me here to try cookies and I was like “meh sure why not” . I ate my first levain cookie (double chocolate chip) fresh out the oven and that first bite took my mind, body and soul somewhere I have not been before. My wife was with me talking to me while I was eating and I did not listen to more than 2 words out of her mouth. During the whole time I was eating this cookie, i gradually shifted my 👀 from my wife and had to be totally focused on how every ingredient in this cookie was possible. These cookies are GOAT status

Very humble & friendly ladies..considering their fame. Thank you so much for sharing this, ladies! God bless you 🙌

"First we start with some butter"....cut to: 3 tons of stone used to build the pyramids

I stood in a very long line on a Sunday afternoon (it moved fairly quickly considering the length) a couple of weeks ago to see what the hype is all about. Let me say I would wait in a line twice as long to get my hands on these cookies again. THEY ARE TRULY THAT GOOD!!! I'll be in NYC again in August & Levain's bakery is top of my to do list & this time I'm going to lay that $$$$ on the counter cause I want several to take home with me.

Ladies I first started going to your bakery in April 2001 when I moved from London to West 75th Street. I was just there 2 weeks ago (March 2023) & cookies still as good as ever. Well done & thank you. D

i try not to eat their cookies too much, but i really want one now! THEY'RE SO GOOD!

I've eaten a lot of cookies in my life and these are the BEST.

I have to say it’s a truly delight ❤ I love the texture and flavor of every single cookie I tasted. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Best cookies I've ever had. Hands down.

Every cookie video I’ve watched so far (looking for recipe ideas) - say that levain is the best... so I searched for u guys...delighted u have a channel! I subscribed , I don’t live in the states so gonna have a go at making the chocolate and walnut ones myself tomorrow 🙃😆

These cookes are beyond. I had one years ago felt guilty and couldn’t believe the size, softness and texture.

I was just there about 2 days ago. The NYT wasn't kidding! *YUM*

Live in the uk These cookies are all I think about. Never tried them but they look amazing

These were a game changer 😍

It is quite the understatement, your cookies are the BEST:. Your cookies are the ONLY "THE BEST COOKIES, EVER". Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah song all day long....😀🎶🇺🇸

I hate hyperbole, and in NYC, all people ever do is hype garbage, but these ladies are the real deal. My favorite cookies in the world.

I lived in the same street, 4 min away from the bakery and I used to get high on the cookies :) ... but I had to work them out in the gym !

I love the consistency of your dough that is how I remember my moms cookie dough just cant find a recipe to match yours look closer help

I freaking ❤️LeVain's Bakery.

@jerrycurl637

I don't think they refrigerated the dough. Usually the dough is refrigerated if the butter is "browned" or melted first. It is said that they use cold butter, so I doubt they refrigerate the dough before baking it. The only way you'll know what actually tastes better is to experiment yourself, that's what I'm doing.

The fact that they don’t roll it into dough balls I think is one of they key reasons it’s airy and cakey aside from the traditional creaming method and possibly aerating the batter when the eggs are in

These cookies are good but they are NOT the best I’ve had. But i will say i think it’s just a matter of preference. I’m happy that many people love them but it’s too thick for me and I’m not a fan of so much dark chocolate strong taste with the semi sweet. I like semi sweet and milk chocolate together. And i prefer a flatter crispier edge with the chewy gooey center. ❤
