    Cookie Lab Cookie #199 Culture Espresso Copycat Cookies

    Send us a text The NYC Legend: Culture Espresso Copycat Cookies! 🍪☕ This week on Cookie Lab, we are tackling a legendary recipe from one of the most iconic coffee shops in New York City: Culture Espresso! Known for having one of the best chocolate chip cookies in the world, we’re putting Jill’s copycat version to the ultimate test. Join us as Jill tells the story of her trek through the busy streets of Manhattan to find this award-winning shop and the moment she realized she had to recreate that magic in her own kitchen. We’ll be doing a live taste test of her homemade version to see if it captures that perfect balance of a crispy exterior and a gooey, chocolate-heavy center. But the secret to this cookie isn't just the chocolate—it's the finish! We’re diving into the Science of Maldon Salt. We’ll explain: The Geometry of Flavor: Why the unique pyramid shape of these sea salt flakes creates a "crunch" and a flavor profile that regular table salt can't touch.The Clean Finish: How the mineral content of Maldon salt enhances the sweetness of the chocolate without leaving a bitter aftertaste.Whether you're a New Yorker or just a cookie enthusiast, you won't want to miss this deep dive into a coffee shop classic!
