Cookies are one sweet treat that I have a weakness for ... chocolate chip cookies in particular. I figured why not enter five chocolate chip cookie recipes into battle to see which ones prevail as the best.
Up first, Levain-Like cookies. When I was in New York I tried a cookie from Levain Bakery.
It was pretty epic, and I have been looking to recreate it ever since.
