I went on my first trip to NYC last month and had LOTS of yummy food! One of the BEST things I had were the cookies from Levain Bakery. We went to both locations and bought all 4 kinds of their giant $4 cookies. The chocolate chip walnut was my favorite. As soon as I got home, I went through cookie withdrawals. Sooo...I googled a copycat recipe and found this one. Thank you Melissa at Modern Honey for making my at home Levain cookie dreams a reality. She put in lots of work to figure out this recipe and I am reaping the rewards. One recipe makes 8 cookies, so do yourself a favor and double it. They do great in the freezer!

1 cup cold butter cut into small cubes
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp cornstarch

2 cups walnuts roughly chopped
1. Preheat oven to 410 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes or until creamy.
3. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each one.
4. Stir in flours, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined to avoid over mixing. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
5. Separate dough into large balls, 5 oz each, and place on prepared cookie sheet. You will fit 4 cookies on one large cookie sheet. The dough makes 8-10 extra large cookies.
6. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes to set.
