Levain bakery - chocolate chip walnut cookies

A few years back when we were visiting NYC, Mr. S’s cousin insisted we visit the Levain bakery. A hole in a wall kind of place, with a long line outside, I waited patiently to get my hands on the delicious gooey amazingness called their chocolate chip walnut cookies. It was worth the wait for sure. 

Many years later, back at home, I went looking for a copy cat recipe online. And I found this. It works and what comes out at the end is plain deliciousness.
