Salty Chocolate Chip Cookies
Salty Chocolate Chip Cookies
Like most people in this world, my kids just love a good chocolate chip cookie. While they like traditional sugary cookies made with milk chocolate chips, as a family we prefer these rich and decadent ones made with dark chocolate chips and flaky sea salt. With each bite, you get loads of chocolate flavor from the higher cocoa content in the dark chips
and
a burst of salt that brings all the flavors together. Simply magical!
