When a friend told me these cookies were heavy, I had no idea.
Two of each flavor made for the perfect souvenir, meant to be shared between family, friends, and colleagues.
Wow, what a weight. In the words of my dear friend Jeff, “Are these cookies or are they muffins?”
The box weighs the same as my entire carry-on, no joke, but those chocolate chip walnut cookies were well worth hauling across the country. The walnuts are super light and the dough is just sweet enough to satisfy. Every cookie is incredibly dense but also light enough that you can still eat one in its entirety…as a meal. Kudos for the peanut butter chips as well, best with a chocolate cookie base. There’s also one with toasted coconut and little bits of caramel which is probably my favorite, and even the oatmeal raisin isn’t a throwaway.
Like it or love it, Levain once created a whole new level of cookie. Now they’re everywhere, even in LA, but it was a pleasure getting them where they were born.
