Happy Christmas Eve you guys, that's what it is here! But the cookies, oh my gosh !I love it when you do this. And I should have been paying attention to where you were getting the chocolate chip cookies but I definitely know that one that was not chocolate chip was Janie's and I love the fact that she had a story behind her sweet shop we will call it. But it's the blueberry ...kind of reminds me of like cobbler cookie. There's no way I could pick a favorite chocolate chip cookie without actually tasting it but I like The Buttery chocolate filled moist almost cake like would have definitely been my favorite. Feel free to send me your favorite lol, just kidding. It was good to see you guys. You look great! And Isa you are not aging one bit. And Kai? Again still growing I bet he's a lot of fun. Kids are fun especially when they get a certain age. You told me when baby number two was coming but I guess I already forgot. But as always I love you guys and I love your videos .I hope you have a fantastic Christmas. I was not paying attention to when you filmed this but where I live we just had minus 27° wind chills, and crazy snow. And I guess the whole U.S. is dealing with it. But you would know because you live in New York. And I think you had your first snowfall what a week ago? It's just been such a dreadfully long hot summer I kind of felt like this was coming. But we need to get over this hump and hopefully the winter won't be so bad. Anyway God bless you all and have a merry christmas. Sorry I ended up writing a book. Stay well take care of each other.
Levain Bakery's Two Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies that come with no nuts. I like nuts but when i want a chocolate chip cookie i don't want any nuts in there. They are so fking good!!!!
Oh yay! I discovered this channel through your original cookie video, it's fantastic seeing a part two! Where has that time gone?! Anyway, great work!!
I tried Janie's today because of this video. The pie crust cookies were AMAZING! But I think Levain's chocolate chip is better. I like a goey cookie and I didn't really get that from Janie's. But mad respect to her (whoever she is) for turning her life around. Def worth supporting her business.
The problem when eating out is consistency, some days chip's cookies are gooey and other days dryer, some days levains cookies are gooey and some days dryer. It really depends on the daily circumstances and especially in the moment, it depends on the person, dough temperature, temperature in the room, oven temperature, etc. even humidity. So much goes into baking... and cooking too. So you probably went on a bad day unfortunately. Levain sometimes is really good, and sometimes I dislike it. Way too much chocolate anyway... the one with walnuts is alright. Chip, I don't like the chocolate chip at all when it's warm, just not very good, but at room temperature the next day its alright. Jacques torres, i did not like, feel like the cookie lacks flavor but the chocolate is excellent. Gooey on the inside, horrible, tastes like crysco dough. Funny face is much better now than it was 1 year ago, pretty good buttery gooey inside dough with crispy outside but lacks some sweet in the dough, their smores is insanely good yep. Seven grammes to me is actually very good, but i think too much chocolate now, need to re try. I need to try Janie's 😍 it looks amazing! I had a cookie company online, but it is on pause right now, and I am a NY'er who tries cookies all the time lol. I definitely think we have the best cookies ever, but I have to try Janie's. Would love to send you some if you want cookies from a stranger haha (I won't be offended if you don't lol). Awesome video guys! Very fun and love your energy and personalities. Be well 🙏
I ordered a dozen of Levain Bakery's Two Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies that come without nuts hence the extra two chips in the name. They were the most delicious cookies i have ever eaten in my life. I recorded a mail unboxing taste test Review and they were so fking good!!! Crispy on the outside and doughy and warm melting chocolate chips in the inside. I recorded a few videos of getting these in the mail and Taste Testing them and other videos of the two chip chocolate chip cookies zoomed in 4k breaking the warm cookie down the middle for a "food porn" video. I'll be uploading them soon i want them up around Xmas.
@@lucanolallo1776 True but for some reason they come out more like a flat pancake but sometimes they bake just right and are nick and thick for me. I just also got my 3rd dozen from Levain and this time ordered with the chocolate chip cookies there dark chocolate peanut butter chip cookies and those were amazing as well.
Tried Janie’s today and it was just ok. Little too sweet for my tastes. If you guys are in the LES, try Banh by Lauren. Their cookie is my current fave. Looking for another to top.
Just discovered your channel.. My question is what place you guys visited that wasn't good. Me and my wife are beginningers travelers now that our kids are grown
I assume you're talking about cities and not cookies (specific to this video), right? I think every place has its charm and reasons to go there. We've never had a place where we really didn't like it and never want to go back. There are a few we visited on our USA roadtrip that were fine, but not really worth _traveling specifically to,_ like Oklahoma City or Madison, WI. But honestly, all the big, famous cities with lots of tourist attractions are famous for a reason, and we've loved them all.
We had a baby recently so I've been a little too busy to edit. But we've got lots coming up soon. I'll post a video tomorrow from Georgia, then London and Iceland soon!
Funny enough, Levain started as an alternative to power bars. They wanted to make something delicious that could power you through long runs. So, I think the answer is 26.2 miles. :)
I've had Janie's, Chip City's, Jacque's and Levain's cookies and the best for me is Levain. Had Levain in Los Angeles and New York and the quality is consistent. I love the story of Janie's Bakery but definitely not the best cookie.
Which cookies did you get from Janie's? You're right about the consistency in Levain's though, that's been pretty impressive through all the years we've been going there.
I bought janies chocolate chip cookies and had it shipped....warmed it up....9 out of 10....gr8 cookie but don't think it's better than levain...2 different syles....traditional vs scone like
Oh wow, 9 out of 10 is pretty amazing for shipped and baked. A friend just sent me Levain and we baked them at home and they were nowhere near as good as when they're fresh from the store. Have you shipped Levain?
We're ok with our kids being on film a little bit (because they love to see themselves in the videos), but we keep it to a minimum. Thanks for calling that out just in case!
@@ldenorio Partly because we're sharing them, partly so we can show you what it looks like on the inside faster than taking a few bites and then showing you, partly to see if the chocolate chips are melted, and partly to see how soft or crunchy the cookie is.
Definitely true, the thicker the cookie, the more flour it has compared to wet ingredients like butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla... which takes away flavor. Then most places with thick cookies, just underbake it so it gets more taste than if it was dry, but still lacking all those flavors. If they did this test with all cookies without chocolate in it, then it would really say something about the actual doughs.
That would be an interesting battle, and I'd have to agree. Based just on the dough, Levain likely wouldn't be in the top 10. Janie's would still be up there, probably still number 1 for me.
"The best cookies in NY, it's not Levain." That is just YOUR opinion, based on YOUR taste buds. You know that, right? Not any more valid than anyone else's.
Italy is always on our mind. We've got all our travel planned for 2023, but maybe next year? We have a new baby that has not yet been to Italy, and our now 5-year old hasn't been there since he was 1, so it's definitely time to go back.

Petit Chou has the best chocolate chip cookie i've ever had
Absolutely wonderful and you two look so happy together ❤
It's hard not to be happy when you have this much sugar in your belly. :)
I live for Schmackery. Yum!
SAME
Oh yay! I discovered this channel through your original cookie video, it's fantastic seeing a part two! Where has that time gone?! Anyway, great work!!
Thanks for still being here all these years later! :)

Which chocolate chip at Levain is your favorite? The original one with walnuts? Or the new Two Chip one with semi-sweet and dark chocolate?
@@PerfectLittlePlanet The one with walnuts. It adds another layer of flavor
The problem when eating out is consistency, some days chip's cookies are gooey and other days dryer, some days levains cookies are gooey and some days dryer.

That’s so cool the last cookie shop you went to. I watched a video on how she started her business. That’s so awesome that she’s in your video.
Cool that you'd heard of her before. Yeah, Janie's cookies are amazing!
the original video was my comfort video for years I’m so excited :’))
We're honored! We hope you like this one, too. :)
I just rewatched your old cookie videos last night and got this one suggested to me today. Love your channel :)
Thanks so much! We love cookies! :)
whenever i am in nyc i always go to culture and get a cookie very exciting seeing it here in your video!
There's some hidden gems outside of the well known places :)
Love the episode! Thanks!
@@VeilandArmour Thank you!!
@PerfectLittlePlanet can't wait to visit New York!
Love this! Was such a big fan of the original video you did years ago :)
Thank you! We were so excited to make a sequel and go around and eat more cookies. :)
What a great way to spend the day.🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Agreed!
Yay for Janie’s! I definitely wanna try it :)
Yes! I hope you get to eat some soon!
Tried it today. I didn’t really love the chocolate chip cookie… 🤷 the pie cookies were out of this world though omg !

Nice videos, Golden. Thanks for sharing!
They are very easy to make. The difference is in the technique so follow the directions closely. Super good super easy.

Kai is definitely LOVING THIS video! (Don’t remember if I’ve asked…is he a big brother yet?)
Yes!! We're keeping the baby out of the spotlight for now, but he was born on Halloween!
Can't wait to get my cookie fix when I travel to NY
One of the best to get cookies!! 😋
Great Job!
Thank you! And thanks for watching. :)

Thanks for adding a new shop to our list! We'll check it out.
The best cookies are the ones you bake at home. ❤
Mmmm, yeah. Can't beat my mom's recipe fresh out of the oven (and the cookie dough, mmmmm)

Hay muchas tiendas de galletas en NY
So many!! That's what makes New York so delicious!!
Where have you guys been? I need my fix!
We had a baby recently so I've been a little too busy to edit. But we've got lots coming up soon. I'll post a video tomorrow from Georgia, then London and Iceland soon!
@@PerfectLittlePlanet Congratulations !!!!
How far can levain post there cookies???
They ship in the U.S. only. Fingers crossed that one day it'll be further!
Curious…how many days was this split up between? I’m hoping at least three or four or you guys woulda have a SERIOUS sugar hangover!
I'd have to count our outfit changes. 😂 It's either 4 or 5 days over a two-week period.
Nay, best cookie is at Bourke Street bakery. Get their Sour Cherry Chocolate.
Hadn't heard about that. Thanks for the tip! We'll go try it for sure.
@@PerfectLittlePlanet You better
The S’mores from Funny Face is Soooooooo Good!!!!
AGREED.
How many miles do you have to run to burn off one cookie?
Funny enough, Levain started as an alternative to power bars. They wanted to make something delicious that could power you through long runs. So, I think the answer is 26.2 miles. :)
Mui bueno el vídeo
@@carolrodriguez9693 Gracias!!

@@PerfectLittlePlanet I got Janie's cookies as a present from my aunt when I visited her in NewYork. I tried the apple, pecan and chocolate.
Do levain heat your cookie for you?
They don't heat them for you, but usually they're still warm since they go through the batches pretty fast.
You guys should do a pizza comparison
We would LOVE to do that! Thanks for the suggestion.
Great idea ! Would love to see that.
Greetings from Buffalo New York I love chocolate chocolate cookies
Hi! We would get along great. We love them too.
I bought janies chocolate chip cookies and had it shipped....warmed it up....9 out of 10....gr8 cookie but don't think it's better than levain...2 different syles....traditional vs scone like
Oh wow, 9 out of 10 is pretty amazing for shipped and baked. A friend just sent me Levain and we baked them at home and they were nowhere near as good as when they're fresh from the store. Have you shipped Levain?
Bravo on this video! New sub here! I recently made Chocolate Chip Cookies on my page too and *your dish looks amazing!* Hope to stay connected! 😁
Thanks for the support! Can never have too many delicious cookies. :)
I see you guys are particular about your kid being on cam. Maybe you wanna edit 3:06-3:08 out?
We're ok with our kids being on film a little bit (because they love to see themselves in the videos), but we keep it to a minimum. Thanks for calling that out just in case!
why is breaking the cookie in half a thing?
@@ldenorio Partly because we're sharing them, partly so we can show you what it looks like on the inside faster than taking a few bites and then showing you, partly to see if the chocolate chips are melted, and partly to see how soft or crunchy the cookie is.
I like them thin and crispy. Those looked like muffins
Yeah, New York cookies are definitely not for you, then.
Spot's caramel miso
Mmm, next time. Thanks for the tip!
Culture #1
Wait, you think Culture Espresso is the best cookie? Which one?
Levain ain't that good to me. The actual dough lacked flavor
Definitely true, the thicker the cookie, the more flour it has compared to wet ingredients like butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla... which takes away flavor. Then most places with thick cookies, just underbake it so it gets more taste than if it was dry, but still lacking all those flavors.

Agree. Levain is way overrated
Crap there goes my diet
@@TravelingThruLife Worth it.
I don't think Insomnia make good cookies. It's only good if you have the munchies.
Which is the case more often than not. :)
"The best cookies in NY, it's not Levain." That is just YOUR opinion, based on YOUR taste buds. You know that, right? Not any more valid than anyone else's.
@@d.lawrence5670 Absolutely. This entire video is completely subjective and we highly encourage you to try them all and find your own favorite.
When you come back in Italy?
Italy is always on our mind. We've got all our travel planned for 2023, but maybe next year? We have a new baby that has not yet been to Italy, and our now 5-year old hasn't been there since he was 1, so it's definitely time to go back.
