Levain Bakery Black and White Cookies
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!
Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cold Butter (or barely softened, cut into small cubes)
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Dark Unsweetened Cocoa
- 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour (or 1 cup cake flour + 1 1/2 cups ap flour)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- (1) 11-ounce bag White Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream 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. Stir together just until combined. 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.
Notes
Substitutions and Variations:
*Optional: Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
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.
