Levain hack: Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Jump to recipe

Do you know about Levain Bakery in NYC? There is usually a line snaking around the block and a heavenly vanilla/chocolate scent in the air. Their cookies are a little different from your typical bakery cookie. Instead of being flat discs, they are tall mounds of melty goodness, chock full of mixins. These thicker cookies help ensure you will get a soft & chewy center. This recipe is very flexible – you can increase or decrease your mixins to fit your macronutrient targets. Bonus points if you make your own chocolate from scratch!

My recipe is adapted from this over at Modern Honey: https://www.modernhoney.com/levain-bakery-chocolate-chip-crush-cookies/

  1. So sad to read these ingredients. These are not remotely keto. Maybe low carb, diabetic friendly… But not keto. I couldn’t figure out why such beautiful cookies would have no reviews. And ps carb quick is absolute trash

    1. So you come on someone else’s page – someone who works hard to share their information – and you feel the need to use that tone: nice.

      How is this not keto friendly?
      1 Tblsp of molasses and scant carbs from the cornstarch and Carbquick? I love that there are recipes like this that allow me to enjoy something that resembles the original product without having to eat a ton of carbs. Thanks, Jackie, for this recipe!!

  2. Maybe you have an issue with the quality of the ingredients, but being in a state of ketosis is the only qualifier for being “keto”. So tell me exactly how this isn’t keto?
