6 Ounces of Deliciousness...

...That's a little more than 1/3 of a lb (!!) After several people (including Oprah...on her show of course) recommended it to me, I decided to venture down to W. 74th Street to try the mountainous cookies at Levain Bakery. Levain is tucked away in the bottom of a residential building, identifiable of course by its store front but also by the delicious smell of warm cookies wafting out onto the street. Out of the four cookie varieties, I chose to try the chocolate chip walnut cookie, a dense mound of butter, melty chocolate chips and crunchy nuts. DELICIOUS!! There really is nothing like a fresh baked cookie, and it was this factor, along with the sheer mass of the cookie, that made Levain so delicious. Usually, if a small cookie tastes like heaven, it does not matter that there is not much of it. But after eating a huge, warm Levain cookie, I felt like I had made a conquest. You know what they say: size doesn't matter. But we can all admit, the more the better, right?

All around, Levain definitely makes it way up into my faves.
