Give in to an ooey gooey confectionary craving with our Snickers Cookies (Levain Bakery Style) recipe. We took it over the top with these delightful (and quite large) cookies, by using a copycat Levain Bakery recipe as a starter. If you’ve indulged in the infamous New York-based gooey cookie, you understand the appeal.
What is Levain Bakery?
Levain Bakery started in 1995 on New York’s Upper West Side, a project of Constance MacDonald and Pamela Weekes. They developed their signature cookie while training for an Ironman Triathlon, knowing they needed an immense amount of calories. Their gigantic 6oz gooey chocolate chip cookie came out of that need, and it served the purpose deliciously. (Let’s hope they didn’t run the Ironman right after eating that cookie, for their sake…) Since then, it’s gone on to spawn many copycats, including this Snickers cookie, which you can make if you’re not lucky enough to live in New York. Just to note, the candy bars make this a very gooey cookie. You can cut back to 22 bars (approx. 3 cups) if you would like something a bit more crisp.
