Levain cookies

went over the top with this one. baked this at least 3 - 4 times cus i missed NYC so much. the last batch came out abit crumbly though.

there are so many ways to make it though but this one seems to be the best.



Things to note
cookie will be more cakey if butter is not fully melted when mixing in.
170g is too much for a cookie. Reduce to 150g.
Chill cookie overnight and let it rest after baking on baking rack.
