What are Levain chocolate chip cookies?

I was first introduced to Levain Bakery cookies 2 years ago. Whenever I travel, I always have a rule that I have to try the best chocolate chip cookie in that area. When visiting New York, Levain Bakery was at the top of my list as they are well known for being the BEST chocolate chip cookies in NYC.

I had read online about the huge waiting lines, and had mentally prepared to wait a minimum of 45 minutes to get my hands on a cookie. However, when Mik and I arrived- to our surprise there was not one person in sight! Before we knew it, we had warm chocolate chip cookies with oozing chocolate in our hands. They were truly incredible, and it got me thinking of making a copycat version that has less butter, sugar than traditional varieties.
