Thickness
7
Controls flour ratio + cold butter vs. softened. High = Levain tower. Low = thin & lacey.
Thin & CrispClassicLevain Tower
Chewiness
8
Brown sugar + bread flour + extra yolk = chew. More = longer, satisfying pull.
Tender & CakeyBalancedMaximum Chew
Gooey Center
8
Underbake window + cornstarch + extra yolk. The molten center that defines a great bakery cookie.
Fully BakedSet CenterMolten Core
Crisp Edge
6
White sugar + higher temp + longer bake = snappy, caramelized edges. Contrasts gooey center.

Butteriness
7
Higher butter ratio = richer, more spread. Brown butter unlocks nutty, caramel depth.

Brown vs. white sugar ratio. More brown = darker, chewier, molasses-forward. White = crisp, pale.

Chocolate Load
8
Chip-to-dough ratio. More chips = gooier, more pooling. Too many = less structure. Levain goes heavy.
RestrainedGenerousMaximum
Salt Punch
6
Salt amplifies everything. Finish salt (Maldon) hits different than baked-in salt. Both controlled here.

Chill Time
5
Resting hydrates flour, deepens flavor, and firms the fat. 0 = bake now. 10 = 72hr cold proof.

Cookie Size

Weight per ball changes bake time, edge-to-center ratio, and drama. Levain = 6oz. Standard = 2oz.
