Giant, Gooey and Utterly Epic NYC Chocolate Chip Cookies based on the famous Cookies from New York City!! 

Can we take a minute, right at the beginning of this blog post, to appreciate… that I have given you guys this recipe. I have finally given you all the recipe that you have been after, for such a long long time. QUEUE THE APPLAUSE. 

I’m joking – seriously. But anyway… I will say the reason they took this long to come to my blog, is because I only, finally, went to New York four months ago on my Mini-Moon, so I finally got to try some classic NYC Cookies for myself!

I wasn’t prepared or willing to post an NYC Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe before I had actually eaten some for myself! I feel like that is pushing the limit really… can you make a recipe for something as famous as this, if you haven’t even there and eaten them?!

Anyway. When I was in New York, I ate so. many. cookies. The best of all, for me personally, was the ones from Levain Bakery. Oh, holy geeeeeeee they were insanely epic. I heard lots and lots of talk about Levain Bakery on my social channels before I went, and my gosh they did not disappoint. 

My husband and I managed to get in when there was absolutely no queue, and we then trotted over to Central Park to enjoy them, and my gosh it was the best thing ever. Not only was I finally taking in the sites of Central Park, in actual New York City, but the cookies… wow. 

When it comes to making a recipe for them though, I will say that these are not authentic Levain Bakery cookies, as I just don’t think they can be recreated. I really don’t. There are many great NYC Chocolate Chip Cookies recipes out there – but I don’t want to repeat them. 

I have honestly made about 20 batches of cookies now, to get these right. There are so many factors when it comes to making these cookies – and jeez it’s hard to get them all right. 

When researching into recipes, what Levain Bakery and other bakeries such as Creme in London and so on do.. it is a bit of a mix. What flavours actually go into them, what order you put the ingredients in, and so on! 

I basically just wanted to create giant chocolate chip cookies, that resemble NYC Chocolate Chip Cookies, that are easier to make. They are definitely different from the rest of my cookies, but that’s what we want – NYC Cookies are a world of their own. I teased this post on my Instagram a little while ago and you guys went crazy for them… so I hope you are READY!! 

One key to these cookies is genuinely, as annoying as it’s going to sound… but trusting the recipe. If you want the cookies that are in the photos, you want to STICK TO THE RECIPE. Stick to the recipe for at least the first time, and then you can try altering it to different sugars and so on!

I use a mix of two sugars… light brown sugar (soft), and white granulated sugar. This is similar to my other recipes, such as my Mini Egg Cookie Bars – in the fact that it gives the best flavour and texture. You really want to stick to these if you can – but you can use all brown, or all white if you have to. 

Switch the sugars to caster sugar can really change the texture. I’m not the biggest fan of caster sugar in cookies anymore – and if you try this recipe as listed, you will agree with me!

Now when it comes to the flour… I stand by using cornflour in my other recipes. I really honestly do. I even think these are better with a bit of cornflour. The cornflour creates a softer texture in the cookie, without drying the cookie out. It’s perfection. However, a lot of you don’t like using it. 

I will admit, I don’t really get it… but hey ho. I purposely made this recipe to not use it, to simplify it for you guys. However, as noted below – you can use a bit if you can, and you’ll love the result. Promise! 

A lot of NYC Cookie recipes use a mix of flours, but again I wasn’t a fan… I wanted to make it be fewer ingredients. However, you can switch it up. You can easily use self-raising flour instead of plain, but you would then only use 1/4tsp bicarbonate of soda, and no baking powder! 

I use all plain flour and add in the baking powder to get the texture, and I love it. You want the rise from the raising agents to create the perfect texture.. and it really works! You want a decent amount of flour, and to help it raise to get the classic texture so that when you bite into it… heaven. 

I use salt in my cookie dough as I do in all my cookies, but it has to be the right kind of salt. I much much MUCH prefer to use sea salt in the cookies. Not only does it create a better flavour, but the salt is also just nicer in general. 

When it comes to the chocolate chips, I, as always, use actual chocolate chips. I use a 50/50 mix of Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate. You get the sweetness from the Milk Chocolate, but also some bitterness from the Dark Chocolate which creates the balance. You can, of course, use all of one or the other. 

You can add in walnuts, macadamia nuts, so on and so on… but more NYC style cookies will be on their way to this blog soon… These really are the most adaptable and delicious cookies EVER so happy baking! x

Author: Jane's Patisserie

Ingredients

  • 125 g Unsalted Butter/Stork
  • 100 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 75 g White Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large/Medium Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla (optional!)
  • 300 g Plain Flour
  • 1 + 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 300 g Chocolate Chips (150g Dark, 150g Milk)
Grams - Ounces

Instructions

  • Add your butter and sugars to a bowl and beat till creamy - I use my stand mixer with the beater attachment!
  • Add in your egg, and beat again. If using vanilla, add it in now!
  • Add in the plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt and beat till a cookie dough is formed!
  • Add in your Chocolate Chips and beat till they're distributed well!
  • Weigh your cookies out into eight cookie dough balls - they're about 120g each!
  • Once they're rolled into balls, put your cookie dough in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or in the fridge for an hour or so!
  • Whilst the cookie dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 180C Fan, or 200C regular! If your oven runs hot, go for 160C-170c.
  • Take your cookies out of the freezer/fridge and put onto a lined baking tray. I put four cookies per tray!
  • Bake the cookies in the oven for 12-14 minutes. I don't personally flatten the cookies, as they flatten enough during baking - however, if you like flat cookies, flatten them a bit before baking.
  • Once baked, leave them to cool on the tray for at least 30 minutes, as they will continue to bake whilst cooling!
  • ENJOY!

Notes

  • These are best eaten on the day of baking, but can be revived by microwaving for 15-30 seconds, or putting into a hot oven for 2-3 minutes!
  • You can freeze the raw cookie dough easily, and bake from frozen if you don't want to bake the entire batch! 
  • If you are baking straight from frozen after some time, I usually bake for the same 12-14 minutes, at the same temp, but an extra couple minutes won't hurt!
  • Once baked, these will last for 4-5+ days!
  • You can use any chocolate you fancy, I just love the combination of milk and dark chocolate!
  • You can use chocolate bars chopped up instead of chocolate chips, just make sure the chunks aren't too big!
  • I use this dark chocolate in my baking!
  • And I use this milk chocolate in my baking!
  • If your oven runs hot you will want to reduce the temp slightly as mentioned in the method!
  • If you prefer your cookies flatter, you can squish them down slightly before baking but I don't do this personally!
  • If you want a lovely texture - you can add in 1 level tbsp of cornflour, and take out 25g of the flour!
  • If you can't access one of the sugars, use all of the other one - i.e. all granulated, or all light brown sugar. Using other sugars can change the texture.

    Tried these cookies today for Memorial Day. Made them yesterday and put in the freezer. I’m having a hard time with baking from frozen. We’ve tried up to 20 minutes at 375 and they still look like baseballs, no spreading and some rawness in the middle. Any advice?

      As you are in America, ingredients could be different – which could easily cause this! They can sometimes need flattening a bit, but the rawness does go away once cooled for the minimum of 30 minutes!

    I made these last night and, because I didn’t quite have enough chocolate, I chopped up a small Snickers and Twix (albeit Aldi’s versions) and O.M.G! Absolutely delicious! I made the Triple Choc cookies a couple of weeks ago and they were perfect too! Thank you!!

    Made these today and turned out great! However I used the same Callebaut milk chocolate chips as you from Amazon but mine don’t hold their shape, they spread out. Have used in another recipe and they did the same thing. Any tips on the chocolate chips to make them hold their shape?

    • Liz
      May 23, 2020 at 9:54 am

      No I meant the chocolate callets spread out so they no longer look like chocolate chips rather like melted puddles of chocolate. Yours look like they hold up their shape like normal chocolate chips

    Hello I’m a big fan of your recipes and they always go well however I made these yesterday and found them incredibly salty. I out in 1+1/2 TSP baking powder and 1/2 bicarbonate and 1\2 salt.
    I think it may predominantly be the baking powder that I may have put too much off but did measure it out. Just want to see if the above was correct for when I make them again. Thank you!

      Hey! The measurements are definitely correct – they need to be level (As all measurements should be unless otherwise specified) but what type of salt did you use? If it was a table salt or a fine grain that could be it as that is often a lot stronger! And did you use a butter with added salt it?

    My daughter and I made these for her home learning today, and here is her review:

    In my own opinion I would say they are very chocolaty but not sickly and I advise children to eat half a cookie. They are very easy to make, they only take 14 minutes to bake and 30 minutes to cool. I think you should make the mixture a bit bigger so you can make about 20. I really like the vanilla essence, it gives it a lot of flavour. Rose (age 7)

    I have made these twice now and they have gone down like a storm! Heavenly! The sea salt adds such a nice and slightly different touch to normal choc chip cookies. I froze my second batch and only been taking them out as and when. I found if frozen for more than the 30mins time (like properly frozen) they don’t flatten much and need a slightly longer bake – I added an extra 4 mins (rangemaster oven) – still absolutely gorgeous cookies. I didn’t have light brown sugar – so I used light muscovado sugar which worked beautifully. I also made mine slightly smaller at 100g just so I could get more cookies out of the batch. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.

    Tried this recipe today – bloody loved it! Thankfully we only baked 4 so we won’t eat them all at once.

    Followed the recipe to the T and they turned out great. Also used my KitchenAid and one thought I had was, it would be helpful in the method if you included what setting you put yours on as it took a while to beat the butter and sugar but I didn’t want to put the mixer on too fast and ruin the mix.

    I am a very limited baker, but I found this recipe really easy and simple to follow.

    The cookies are soooo yummy. We only used 250g of chocolate which was plenty, so don’t worry if you don’t have the full amount. It was also a mix of dark choc chips and broken up Cadbury bar. Worked well!

    Can’t wait to bake some more, really boosted my confidence.

    Hi Jane,

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’m planning to make these awesome cookies today. I usually follow every step and ingredient in your recipe including the cornflour in the cookies. Did you recommend to add any cornflour for this recipe? I’m not fussy about the texture, but does it help in binding the ingredients?

    Hands down the best cookie recipe I’ve ever made. I replaced 100g of choc chips with peanut butter chips as we love peanut butter in this house and they are amazing.

      Amazing recipe Thank you! These are the best cookies I’ve made. I didn’t have any baking powder or bicarbonate so used all self raising flour, taking out a bit and adding some cornflour as suggested in the recipe and seemed to work ok, they tasted great! Thanks again.

    Fantastic recipie! The first time i made with chopped up milk and white chocolate bars and they were delicious. I’ve written the recipe down in my book (which only the best ever make!). The first batch me and my husband ate within 2 days! Tonight I’ve made another batch with chopped up milkybar and some giant chocolate buttons (it’s all we had). Can’t wait to see how they turn out. Thank so much for the recipe 🙂 x

    Hi! There seems to be a shortage of light brown sugar in the supermarkets at the moment, if I substituted it, would I have to use all of what I substituted , so 175g of it or would I still do the 100 and 75 g? Sorry I hope that make sense xx

      Ideally, you would use all granulated, which would be a total of 175g.

    Love this recipe! I kept the little dough balls frozen and bakes them fresh for people birthdays to drop on their doorstep! Nothing like a home baked cookie 🙂 I have one question! I just cannot get hold of flour at the moment! I just have self raising left in the house now- I read your section on the blog how some recipes do half and half etc, would these work using 100% self raising? Thanks Chelsie 🙂

    These cookies are definitely the best I have ever made! I split the cookie dough in two – froze half for another day and cooked half – absolutely delicious!
    I do have one question – as I froze half the dough in one big ball (rookie error!) if I were to bake this in one go, rather than splitting into four, do you think this would work? I’m dreaming of a massive cookie! Thank you!

    Hey Jane!
    These look delicious! I will be trying them out tomorrow. However I have been unable to find Baking Powder anywhere for ages now! I do have bicarbonate of soda though. How do I make these without the baking powder? Would I need to use self raising flour instead or can this recipe be done without the baking powder? I did read your comments on using self raising flour and 1/4 bicarb but I wondered if there was any other way and I’m also running low on self raising flout! 🙁 x

    Brilliant recipe. I have tried soft bake cookies before but have been disappointed. These cookies are amazing, just what I hoped they would be. Slightly crisp in the outside, lovely and soft inside. Be warned they are huge! I froze 4 cookie balls and cooked them a few days later from frozen, they cooked perfectly. I this recipe has made it to my recipe tin (only my faves make it there). Thanks Jane

I used a mixture of milk, dark and white chips and oh my goodness, delicious! I’ve baked 4 cookies and have had to keep the rest in the freezer to avoid devouring the lot in one hit!

      How are you mixing it? And what butter did you use? The mixture is quite stiff and it is meant to be, and I typically make it with my stand mixer and it does come together, it just takes a while so mixing by hand for example would make it seem drier!

    I made these cookies for the first time and OMG they are amazing!
    I’ve never been into baking but after searching your site and baking a few other things I have found a new love and can’t wait to get baking this week!
    Thank you!

    All hail Jane the baking queen!! I’ve used a few of your recipes before and they’ve all turned out perfect (this is down to your skills not mine!). I want to have a crack at these today but only have three types of sugar in the house, I’ve seen in your comments that caster sugar isn’t recommended (I have regular caster and golden caster, so that’s those two out! Eeek!) but I also have demerara (from Tesco so it’s not actually as coarse as Billington‘s or Tate & Lyle. Do you think this would work?
    Thanks xx

      I would recommend using the 2/3 of the Demerara and 1/3 caster sugar. It’s not the best solution, as ideally you would just all light brown sugar, or all granulated – but it’s probably better as a combination!

    • Jane's Patisserie

      It will make a difference – because bicarbonate of soda is different to baking powder. It helps create the best cookie which is why it’s in all of my cookie recipes! However, you can try it with another 1/2tsp of baking powder on top (so 2tsp total) but the texture will be different!

    Jane, I’ve baked 3 batches of these over the last fews days, sharing them with friends and colleagues, so many of whom have commented on how these are ‘the best’ cookies they’ve ever tasted! I only wish I had enough ingredients left to have a batch frozen just for me in the freezer because I completely agree with the team, they are utterly scrumptious!

      Best cookie recipe I’ve ever tried, fab and so easy to make. I’ve made the recipe a couple of times now, I reduced the milk and dark choc quantities and added some white chocolate chips to the mix. I’ve also froze spoonfuls of nutella and wrapped them in the cookie dough before cooking to give a chocolate chip cookie with a gooey chocolate centre…a big crowd pleaser.

    Thank you for this incredible recipe. I think I’ve tried every other cookie recipe there is and none have turned out as what I would consider a proper cookie. I followed your recipe to the letter and used the cornflour as suggested.
    I rolled the dough into a sausage and froze for 30 mins before baking; sliced and baked for 14 mins. They came out huge and incredibly tasty.
    As with all of your recipes, these were quick and easy to follow and worth every ounce of effort.
    Thank you 🙏

I read the recipe, mentally checked that I had everything in the kitchen and started baking. I was expecting good, I was not expecting this – these are AMAZING, FANTASTIC, MOORISH, RICH chocolate chip cookies! I have spread the word to my friends to give them a try.

      I tried converting the 300grams of flour (on a few different online sites) and got 2.4 cups but that seems too much and looks like well more than what you used in the YouTube video. The mix does not look like cookie dough. Do you have a measurement in cups for the flour?
