A piece of the tahini CC cookie from the new Turkish joint. Very nice. I also had a bite of the pistachio kadaif, which I found a bit too sweet.

I’m not a huge sweets person, but now that we have a few Levain bakeries that have popped up locally, I went for a cookie last week. I didn’t grab a photo sadly, but this cookie was divine! They have special winter cookies, and I grabbed a “limited edition” dark chocolate toffee cookie. Moist, not overly sweet, but still with plenty of toffee pieces and good cocoa flavor.
This is a site shows you what the cookie looks like (and for those who want to bake these at home).

Here’s a personal closeup 
The OG CC & walnut cookies are decadent, and massive enough for several afternoon coffees. At least in our household.
I remember taking the train up to the NYC Levain bakery many years ago. Getting the cookie warm out of the oven takes it to another level. Of course, one could always heat up the cookie in the oven or MW for a few seconds.

Different in my house. I had two cookies that afternoon.

There’s a cookie recipe I’ve made of browned butter, dark chocolate chunks, chopped Skor bars, really delicious.

Ooh la la monsieur Pedro! C’est très appétissant 
OMG! That sounds incredible!
Color me impressed! I’d pass out from hyperglycemia, I’m afraid.
A chocolate almond cookie and an almond cookie from the Turkish place. For those keeping track, this is the third time in three days we’ve gone there for their lovely baked goods 
I had half of the chocolate almond one & a quarter of the regular almond. Liked the former better, the latter was a bit bland.

And we’ll be back. Tonight’s dessert was their Dubai chocolate cheesecake.
Not too sweet & much lighter than expected.

Spekuloos ice cream garnished with a toffee.
We were a little impatient so it was on the softer side, but delicious nonetheless. The toasted pecans were a great addition

Those look loaded, like a magic seven layer bar atop a cookie!
Decadent, right?

Yes, it was real decadent. The recipe was really for a coconut cookie, but Mrs. P added the chocolate chips to it, which brought it over the top.

I missed the coconut part when I passed over your description to focus on those gorgeous cookies
Now that I know what the white things are I want the whole tray! Are those walnuts or pecans? Oh, my!
