COOKIE LOVERS REJOICE! HOT OUT OF THE OVEN, GIANT COOKIES WITH A CRISPY OUTSIDE AND A GOOEY INSIDE ARE ALL THE RAGE AND NOW YOU CAN MAKE THEM AT HOME! Giant, crispy-on-the-outside, gooey-on-theinside cookies have brought worldwide fame to bakeries like Levain Bakery in NYC. While drooling over the images on social media knowing that I couldn’t partake in this trend (Levain is not kosher), I knew we had to create our own versions. A follower actually shared the original Levain Bakery chocolate chip cookie recipe with me and it inspired this feature. I reached out to Rosa Seidenwar, baker extraordinaire based in Israel, and asked her to create original versions for Fleishigs Magazine. The results were spectacular. Try out all three varieties of these decadent, easy-to-make cookies and you’ll be transported back in time to the once-busy streets of Manhattan.
