Levain Bakery

The New York bakery known for its towering, thick-crumbed cookies brought its signature method to Larchmont Village, where the dark chocolate chocolate chip and walnut chocolate chip sell out daily by afternoon. Each cookie weighs nearly six ounces, with a crackling exterior that gives way to a dense, gooey center warm enough to require a knife and fork if you get one fresh from the oven. The Larchmont outpost has joined the neighborhood fabric quickly since opening. Order the dark chocolate chocolate chip cookie and arrive early in the day.
