#COOKING: FUNFETTI CORNFLAKE CRUNCH COOKIES RECIPE
Funfetti Cornflake Crunch Cookies. Okay, full disclosure, these are very similar to those amazing cookies you find at Momofuku‘s Milk Bar, but we’ve added a Funfetti twist to it, because if you’re pulling out all the stops already and going over-the-top, you might as well go all the way! As usual, I reduce the sugar because the originals are way sweet and nobody has any business eating that much sugar.
Ingredients:
5 cups Corn Flakes
2 cups flour
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter at room temperature, cut into cubes
36 miniature marshmallows
3/4 cup miniature milk chocolate chips
1/3 cup organic raw sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tbsps sweetened condensed milk
2 tsps sea salt
1 tsp organic vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 egg
4 tbsps rainbow sprinkles
Instructions:
1. Place Corn Flakes, 3 tbsps sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 tsp salt and half of brown sugar on a baking tray. Bake at 300°F for 15 minutes. Set aside.
2. In large bowl, use handmixer to cream 1 cup butter and half of brown sugar and all of raw sugar. Mix till creamy for 2 minutes.
3. Add egg and vanilla, cream with handmixer for another 5 minutes.
4. In another bowl, mix flour, 1 1/2 tsps salt, baking powder and baking soda.
5. Slowly add-in flour mixture to butter mixture using handmixer. Mix for 1 minute.
6. Using spatula, fold-in chocolate chips, corn flake mixture and sprinkles. Mix gently till combined evenly.
7. Using hands, form dough into 12 large balls. Stuff each dough ball with 3 marshmallows. Place on parchment paper-lined tray and refrigerate for one hour.
8. Set oven at 370°F. Arrange dough balls about 3-4″ apart from one another on baking sheet. Bake 13-15 minutes till golden. Transfer to cooling rack and store in air-tight container. Makes 1 dozen.

#COOKING: LEVAIN BAKERY KNOCK-OFF COOKIES RECIPE
Levain Bakery Knock-off Cookies. Levain Bakery in New York City has gained international fame for its droolworthy 6 oz. cookies. They’re dense and an entire meal’s worth of calories and literally people queue hours still to this day at their four locations. They reassure everyone that they never run out of stock – you just basically have to wait. Many a savvy New Yorker have figured out that if you order via delivery, you can bypass the wait entirely. I can’t take credit for this recipe but MODERN HONEY selflessly has deciphered an approximation of their recipe and I am just adapting it to my tastes, cutting the sugar and nuts, keeping all that gooey chocolate in.
Ingredients:
3 cups flour2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1 cup chilled butter, cut into small 1″ cubes
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup organic raw sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp corn starch
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions:
1. Pre-heat oven at 410°F.2. In large mixing bowl, combine butter with sugars using a fork till pasty. Finish and whip with handmixer for 1-2 minutes till creamy.
3. Add eggs one at a time.
4. Add salt, starch, baking soda and cream together.
5. Add flour and mix till just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Add nuts and chocolate and mix till even, again careful not to overmix.
7. Shape dough into 8 balls.
8. Grease cookie sheet lightly and bake in two batches, 10-12 minutes each batch. The originals are slightly under-baked but bake to the full 12 minutes if you like them firmer.
9. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature before transferring to cooling rack.
10. Store room temperature up to 3 days. Microwave 20 seconds to refresh.
