This Levain Bakery Black and White Cookie is a soft, thick, and chewy dark chocolate cookie with white chocolate and milk chocolate chips. It is a bakery-style triple chocolate chip cookie recipe for chocolate lovers!
As soon as Levain Bakery releases a new cookie flavor, you know that I get into my test kitchen as soon as possible to recreate a recipe to make at home. Levain Bakery just released their new Black and White Chip Cookie to celebrate their new store and it is absolutely heavenly. The first recipe I ever posted on Modern Honey was my Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Since this is a black cocoa cookie, you could even call these Solar Eclipse Cookies since a solar eclipse will be happening tomorrow, April 8th. If you love chocolate, you will love these rich dark chocolate cookies with white chocolate and milk chocolate chips to make the perfect bakery-style triple chocolate cookies.
Levain Bakery Black and White Cookie Ingredients:
What makes these cookies special is a dark cocoa powder which can also be called black cocoa powder. It is super rich and what is used to make recipes such as homemade OREOS or a rich, dark chocolate cake. The contrast of the sweet white chocolate and milk chocolate chips pairs perfectly with the dark chocolate cocoa powder.
- Butter: Use cold or barely softened butter, cut into small cubes. This helps the cookies keep their thickness while baking.
- Brown Sugar
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Since this is a triple chip dark chocolate cookie, I suggest using dark cocoa powder also known as black cocoa powder. I use Guittard Dark Cocoa Powder. You can also use any type of Dutch processed cocoa powder or even Hershey’s special dark cocoa powder.
- Flour: May use all-purpose flour or 1 cup of cake flour and 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flavor for a more tender cookie.
- Cornstarch: This helps to thicken the cookie while still keeping it soft.
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- White Chocolate Chips: My favorite white chocolate chips are Ghirardelli and Guittard.
- Milk Chocolate Chips: I like to use Callebaut, Guittard, or Ghirardelli milk chocolate.
Weigh your cookie dough!
For accurate and consistent baking, I suggest weighing your cookie dough with a kitchen scale. These cookies weigh 6 ounces each before baking but you can make them smaller.
How to make Bakery-Style Triple Chocolate Cookies:
Start by creaming together cubed butter, sugar, and brown sugar for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl halfway through to ensure even creaming.
Add in eggs and vanilla, if using. Mix for 1 minute longer to ensure it is smooth and creamy.
Fold in unsweetened cocoa powder, flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Fold in white chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips.
Roll into 6-ounce balls. I suggest weighing the cookie dough with a food scale to ensure even baking. Place on a light colored baking sheet. It is important to use a lighter colored baking sheet or the bottoms may become too browned.
Bake for 9-11 minutes. After baking, let set-up for at least 10 minutes.
Can I freeze these cookies?
Absolutely! These Levain Bakery Black and White Triple Chip Cookies freeze well in a freezer-safe bag for months in the freezer.

Substitutions and Variations:
This recipe calls for dark or black unsweetened cocoa powder but you can use your favorite type of unsweetened cocoa powder. The cookies may be lighter in color but will still taste absolutely delicious.
These cookies aren’t overly sweet and perfectly rich, decadent, and full of chocolate flavor. If you desire a sweeter cookie, you may add 2 more Tablespoons of sugar. This will create a slightly sweeter and thinner cookie.
Instead of milk chocolate chips, you may use semi-sweet chocolate chips for a darker chocolate cookie.

This has been by far the favorite cookie I have made for family, friends, and coworkers!!! I have swapped out and added a variety of chips! Tonight I tried it leaving out the dark cocoa powder and adding 3 TBSP flour and it was the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve made. So many Levain dupes I find had walnuts and I didn’t want to use those. Again, recipe is amazing! Thank you for your blog!
Can I bake them frozen or chilled?
What type of sugar should I use?
