Ingredients:
– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
– 1 cup packed light brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F, which is about 175°C. Then, take a large mixing bowl and cream together the cold butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until you have a smooth mixture. Next, add in the eggs one at a time, ensuring you mix well after each one. Don’t forget to stir in the vanilla extract for that delicious aroma.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually incorporate these dry ingredients into your wet mixture, mixing until everything is just combined. Now, scoop the dough in heaping tablespoons onto a baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between each cookie.
Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the edges have turned a lovely golden color, but the center is still soft. Once they’re baked, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your homemade Levain Bakery NYC Cookies!
