Arguably the most famous cookie in New York City, Levain Bakery has once again made a list of must-try winter treats in New York City. During the month of December, peppermint lovers are spoiled with a gooey, minty, star of a treat.

The cookie is made with their double chocolate chip dough recipe and little peppermint chips are folded into the mix, giving off a cool winter flavor with every bite.
