A new season means a new cookie from Levain Bakery, the New York City based bakery beloved for its iconically gigantic, soft-meets-chewy 6-ounce cookies in myriad flavors.
For this week only, the bakery (which has an East End outpost in Wainscott, located at 354 Montauk Highway, 631-604-4123) will feature the newest addition to their already robust cookie cache: Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Chip. The decadent mix of creamy and chunky peanut butter with rich dark chocolate chunks was originally created to celebrate the opening of Levain’s Beverly Hills Bakery. While the window to get the cookies in-person at all bakery locations has come and gone, fear not, fellow cookie compatriots!

For those who can’t stop by in-person, the Peanut Butter Lover’s Assortment will be available on e-comm until Thursday, Oct. 9, so cookie lovers across the East End, and well beyond, can get their peanut butter cookie fix.
In other Levain news, the company is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, marking three decades since it started as a small bread shop on the Upper West Side of New York City. To commemorate the special occasion, co-founders Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald will be at BookHampton (41 Main St., East Hampton, 631-324-4939) this Saturday, Oct. 11, starting at noon, to showcase their book Levain Bakery: A Story of Friendship, Community, and Cookies, before its release date of Oct. 14.
Attendees of the talk at BookHampton are welcome to purchase the book in-person, otherwise it will be available for all on its release date of Oct. 14. Copies will be $45. Ten percent of the proceeds of this book will be donated to Hot Bread Kitchen, an organization committed to creating economic opportunity through culinary job skills training.
