Halva-Walnut-Chocolate
Cookie
cook: 1 h 0 min
4.9 (10)
Yo, Gingis! Brace yourself for a mind-blowing cookie experience
that will leave you begging for more! Picture this: just last week, I
had the pleasure of hosting my buddy Kevin at my humble
apartment in NYC. Little did I know, he had just visited the
legendary Levain Bakery and couldn't contain his excitement over
their famous cookies. Naturally, we couldn't resist the challenge
of recreating them with our own twist. And thus, the epic Halva-
Walnut-Chocolate cookie was born, destined to rock your taste
buds to the core. Get ready for a flavor explosion like no other as
we combine the heavenly crunch of toasted walnuts with the
irresistible crumble of halva and the sheer decadence of hand-
chopped chocolate. Oh, and let me drop a baking tip on you: by
chopping the chocolate ourselves instead of using boring old
chips, we achieve a mind-blowing melt-in-your-mouth
experience that will have you swooning. But wait, there's more!
We decided to take things up a notch by coating some of these
heavenly cookie balls in toasted sesame. Trust me, the result was
pure magic—a surprisingly delicious and ridiculously well-
balanced creation that takes your taste buds on an exhilarating
journey to the savory side. Don't just take my word for it, Gingis,
you've got to give this tantalizing twist a shot. Your palate will
thank you for the adventure!

These cookies were fine on day one... day two however?! I'm obsessed! I scooped and froze about half of them (I like to be
Z able to pop two in the oven whenever I want a treat) and they're even better! So, key takeaway is that if you can let your
batter rest for 12+ hours, they're going to be next level. This is now my go-to chocolate chip cookies! From a logistical point,
I did have to tinker with the timing, but if you know that going in, you're good.

Amazingly insane - did the 150g size cookie and baking time needed an extra 10+ mins - just gauge how they look.
