Chocolate Peanut Butter Levain Copycats
Have you been to the Levain baker in NYC? We have been there several times to enjoy their thick, undercooked, HUGE cookies. With the pandemic going on, I do not foresee any NYC trips in the near future so I knew I had to try these when I saw them over at The Domestic Rebel. These are huge cookies so they they definitely can count as a meal!

The use of cold butter and peanut butter chips really makes for a delicious flavor. I can just imagine how rich and delicious the cookies will be when they come out of the oven.
