Merry Christmas 2009 ~ Cookies for Santa


Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

Did you leave Santa a glass of milk and a plate of cookies?
No time to bake...hope you picked up a few cookies from
LEVAIN BAKERY in New York City.

Levain's trademark: Each cookie is approximately 6 ounces each! Enormous!


Levain Bakery sells four varieties:

Chocolate Chip Walnut
Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip
Oatmeal Raisin
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip

Pam Weekes & Connie McDonald are owners of Levain Bakery.

I stopped by and tried the Chocolate Chip Cookie.
It is like a meal, so huge!

Connie McDonald took a minute out of her busy day to take a pic with me.
Connie and her employees were very friendly. They were very busy too.
Lots of orders going out.
Enjoy the photos of Levain Bakery.
Visit Levain Bakery soon!
