Every Ramadan, I bake these cookies and treat myself with one with a good cup of tea. It has become a tradition, and the flavours give me nostalgia now hehe.

I adore Sally! She’s so easy breezy in the way she teaches, if that makes sense. Quick and to the point without rushing. 💜

I've been trying to find a decent cookie recipe forever and you totally nailed it! I've made more than 6 batches already for friends and family and it's a success, thank you!

who else agrees Sally needs her own channel!

I love seeing the shop coming together and being on the channel! Sending my love to Jemma, hope she's feeling better 💙

Never been to NYC but these cookies are from far the best I’ve made! They are gooey in inside and crispy outside; almost like a sablé. It’s pure joy. Thank you for your beautiful recipe !

This recipe is next level and turned out as the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever eaten. Thank you.

Hey y’all. For all those asking, the ingredients are now in the description box! Sorry about that 😅. Also for those asking, of course you can use something other than walnuts. Or you can just leave them out entirely. Cookies are very forgiving in this respect. Go nuts! Or not, if nuts ain’t your thing 😂

I can wholeheartedly say this is by far the best cookie recipe! If you're debating whether to bake these cookies let me assure you that you will not regret it! They are fantastic. Thank you so much for the recipe!

Seeing all of those cookie samples reminds me of when Monica was trying to figure out Phoebe's grandma's cookie recipe 😂

This is it! The cookie holy grail! I’ve been trying for years to get cookies to turn out right but I could never find the right recipe or technique. This video has changed everything! My first batch just came out and they were AMAZING! Thank you so much ☺️

EDIT: The Levain cookies are chilled for 24 hours and besides letting the butter solidify, it develops the flavor of the cookies further. For those who can wait, I definitely recommend following the 24 hours cooling. Questions: 1. Dough weight: Each raw dough is around 6 oz each. Use a scale for even measurement and even baking. 2. Chilling: By chilling, it means in the fridge and not the freezer. Cover the tray with cling wrap so it doesn't absorb the fridge smell. Chilling keeps the butter from melting too fast when baked so this is crucial for keeping your cookies going flat. 3. Baking: Once it's done chilling, you can bake it right away without needing it to come to room temperature. It also keeps the cookies from spreading (i.e. wide and flat cookies) and yields a puffier/rounder signature Levain cookie shape. 4. Brown butter vs regular butter: You can definitely use brown butter, it's just not what Levain does to their cookies. 5. Reverse creaming: Levain does the more common method (i.e. creaming butter with sugars, then eggs, and flour.) Reverse creaming is a method you can try if you have issues with over-mixing the batter. Reverse creaming is the method where the butter protects against gluten-development. 6. Since it's rare that we want to have a dozen cookies in one sitting, you can leave the cookies in the fridge for 24 hours to develop flavor before transferring them to the freezer. If baking cookies directly from the freezer, baking time can go up to 19-21 mins.

I've never been to NY, sad fact is I've never left New Zealand! But I've made soo many of your cookie recipes over the past year or so that I now know them by heart, I keep coming back to watch you both you are so easy to follow and your energies are welcoming. Thank you.

These were incredible! My husband said these are the best chocolate chip cookies he has ever had and he is a self-proclaimed cookie connoisseur. Thank you so much! I substituted roasted pecans for walnuts and they were great..

I followed this recipe, but used 3 bars of Lindt chocolate and smashed them up into chunks (1 dark with sea salt, 2 60% milk) and they turned out INCREDIBLE. Thank you for sharing!!

Just made the cookies and they were a hit! Thanks for the recipe... I've been waiting for years to find one that looks good enough to try it... And they really came out amazing

I've made this and turned out the best cookies I've made.. thanks so much, you guys are amazing!

My entire family is obsessed with how these turned out!!! Although I didnt put them in the freezer, rather kept them in the fridge and baked them for about 20 - 21 minutes and they were perfect!

I made these today and I must admit they are delicious! I was skeptical about not using vanilla or dark brown sugar but the taste is amazing and this is now my favorite recipe to make going forward!

Great version of the Levain Bakery Cookies guys! Really makes me want to go back to NY just to have a bite of the absolute best cookies in world 🤤🤤

I’ve watched this video at least 40 times and I am just loving the dynamic between Sally and Dane. I’ve mentioned it before but they are both so satisfying to watch and listen to and in fact, I’m making these cookies again as we speak. Get well soon Jemma and please see about keeping Sally and Dane as regular guests. They’re absolutely amazing x

I made these cookies a week ago and they are probably the best cookies I have EVER made! They taste like heaven! Even better than the ones I eat at subway! But yes as you can see these aren’t the flat ones if you are looking for. The cookies were thick and dense just like in the video and they definitely taste the best.

I JUST MADE THIS AND THEY WERE DELICIOUS PERFECT THANK U

These are so brilliant, specifically that you can prep ahead and bake fresh. Thanks for doing the researching and testing for us, can’t wait to try these!

dane is such a pure soul and sally is lovely, such a great vid

Thanks for sharing this! I’m a first time baker and I made this yesterday. I baked them in small batches just to test it out. The first two tries, my cookies were burnt underneath. Good thing you had another video answering all our cookie questions. I adjusted my rack and doubled my sheet pan & baking paper as well as adjusted my cooking time. It came out really perfect!! I’m planning to gift these to friends & family for the holidays 🌲

Thanks so very much for this recipe & video. It's Father's Day weekend here in Singapore & I got my husband to bake these amazing cookies. It was his FIRST attempt baking cookies from scratch! He loved the simplicity of the recipe & the instructions were easy to follow. It was the best batch of cookies we have ever had ever!🥰👍❤❤❤❤❤

Fab video guys - smashing it in Jemma’s absence!!! Really enjoyed the idea of the it not just being a how to recipe but more of a how you got to the end result and explaining why (the science!!!) Keep up the good work and get better soon Jemma, even though your team are doing a fab job we still miss you!!!

You’ve smashed this Sally and Dane! Dream team!

I have viewed this video over and over again before trying it out - it did not fail me! Your recipe is true to the actual outcomes shown in the video, and also, it was that easy to make with your help. All the best to Cupcakejemma and the whole team, Sally & Dane 🥰

Made em, delicious. Thank you Sally and Dane for all your effort and sharing.

Okay, I'm making them this weekend for sure

Dane is a natural in front of the camera. I’d listen to him explain anything

I’ve been trying a couple of levain style cookie recipes and yours works most perfectly! They stay thiccc, perfect crunch and goooo

I tried these cookies and they are the best cookies i ever baked ! , do it with exactly the same amount of chocolate cuz its amazing 😍! Thank you sally and dane for sharing this wonderful recipe 🥰!!

Go Team! The cookies look delicious. However, I especially love your dynamic duo! More videos like this! And get well soon, Jemma!

I just made these and they are delicious! I used 300g semisweet and 100g dark chocolate instead of the milk chocolate and they taste great. Also they look soo impressive!

I made these tonight and they are UNREAL. Thank you so much Jemma and everyone at Crumbs & Doilies!

I have to come back and say thank you for this recipe - I've made it again and again and it's loved by all!!

They work so well together. It was like watching a choreography 😍

I made these straight away and have to say, the best I’ve ever had in my life!

They really are the best cookies I've ever had! Amazing recipe!

You two are adorable, thanks for all your hard work figuring out this recipe. ❤️

Someone finally cracked it! Looking forward to try it ♥️

I've made this countless of times and it's easily my favorite cookie recipe!!

I got a new KitchenAid and decided to try this recipe out for the first time, and it turned out heavenly! It's that rare cookie where just one leaves me more than satisfied 😋

I’ve just made this now and it is the best chewy cookie I’ve ever had!! Thank you!!!!!!

This will be my mum's dream cookie!!!

I love this video - have seen it more than 10 times 🙂

Awwww!!! You guys are Too CUUTTEE!! Love how y’all are Matching with ur Strips!! 💜💜😘😘

I baked these today and they were delicious!! Thank you for sharing your recipes ❤❤❤❤

Im shocked at how beautiful and delicious these cookies turned out because Im a mediocre baker at best and they came out picture perfect! My mom prefers white chocolate so I subbed those in and added a bit of cinnamon, which is something I learned from a pro baker I used to work with. The house smells incredible. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Looks so yummy ! Reminds me a lot of the one of William's Kitchen he shared a couple of months ago, I am always looking for the best cookie recipe and more now that Christmas is coming !

love Sally and how she explains everything so well❤

I just found this last night! Got my dough waiting in the freezer now! I cant wait im so excited😂

I just made these...it's 11pm here...I ate 2 already and I'm very tempted to eat another one #help lol They are so goooood!

These are by far the best cookies I have made and tasted. Everyone I have baked them for has nothing but compliments and demands for a batch to take home for themselves. Keep up it people 💙

definitely the bests cookies I've ever ate !! AMAZING

I love Sally and Dane tandem! I find myself smiling when I watch them.

the thin one looks soooo appealing

I made these and they came out nicely, but I used 1/4 milk chocolate and 3/4 semisweet. Next time I would use all semisweet. I would also definitely use roasted pecans instead of walnuts, which pairs better with things buttery and salty. I would also add vanilla, which is usually in chocolate chip cookies. Without the vanilla the cookie flavor minus the chips is predominantly "walnut."

I made this recipe today. Following one of the comments, I let it rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then kept them in the freezer until I was ready to bake it. Cookies came out perfect! I used two trays, so the bottoms were not burned and the cookie wasn't undercooked. Very good recipe, it is different from everything I ever tried. Will definitely make it again.

tried this, work an absolute treat. Cheers guys they are amazing

I am so making these with my son while we are in lockdown!

Finally been to crumbs and dollies today! Had a couple of cupcakes and the cheesecake brownie was like heaven 😊

Omg!! I never had this much delicious cookie ever! Thank u for sharing this fabulous recipe!!! You guys are awesome!! 👍🙌

Best cookie recipe. They came out really good. Loved them.

Loved when Sally counted down so she & Dane could break open their cookies together 😊😊 Also, please, please 🙏🏽🙏🏽 share the recipe/ technique for the flat, giant cookie at 1:40. I'd love to bite into that saucer.

I've seen some cookie recipes where they put in like cream cheese to make it soft. Never got around to making them...but just throwing it out there. Love the experimenting from your adventures again. ❤️❤️❤️

I just Baked These cookies yesterday and they came out so delicious, thank u so much for this amazing recipe ❤️❤️

I really love their chemistry!

OMG YESS. ps I literally just finished baking gemmas shortbread recipe. wooop!

Thank you all, for your hard work and for sharing this recipe! I made these with 500g King Arthur AP Flour (and the adjusted 1TBL baking powder 1 tsp salt), Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips (large), and no walnuts... froze for 2hr... AMAZING! These beat Mrs. Field's IMO! If you like CC cookies, don't pass up making these! Best to you all.

Tried it and family said it’s their new favorite! 🤤❤️

I made half this recipe and half the chocolate one. I used almonds in this recipe! Omg it was delicious. ❤️ Probably my new go to recipe

Those look amazing. You two are fab on camera 😊

I didn't have a stand mixer so I just used my hands and they turned out amazing, first time ever making cookies, 100% recommend the recipe and technique

Just tried this recipe, sooo delicious! Thank you :)!

I made these cookies and they came out perfect everytime!! Love them and cant wait for a different flavour!🍪🍪😍👍🏻

Got these in the oven right now!! Super excited 🍪 💕

Just want to drop by and say that these cookies are sooooo delicious!! I’ve made both these and the nyc double chocolate ones and they’re both so amazing! I finished them with a sprinkle of crystal sea salt for that extra pizazz hehe thank you for the recipe!

We (my daughter and I) love baking these together! They taste fantastic with dark chocolate, too!

These were the most delicious cookies ever! So decadent. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped bittersweet chocolate bars (what I had on hand) and the cookies turned out AMAZING. Thank you!

I had to bite my tongue when you said “rubbing the nuts” 🥜 #suchachild 🤣🤣🤣 amazing videos guys and get better soon Jemma x

Hands down the BEST chocolate chip cookies!. I Make these at least once a month for the family. Thank you for this recipe!.

Made these today. They are the best cookies I have made till date!

You can put the walnuts in boiling water for a about a minute to get the skin off and they lose the bitter taste.

"So what I'm doing is just kind of rubbing the nuts..." Glad I'm not 12 anymore and definitely didn't laugh out loud when Sally said that. Phew!

Will definitely try this one! Thanks for sharing the recipe😊

Omg these cookies are amazing!!!! Made it this afternoon and the hardest part was waiting 5/10 minutes to let them sit and cool down..can't promise they resist till after breakfast.
