I have been looking forward to these cookies for a long time! I had some sea salt flakes from Cyprus, that I've been itching to use. These cookies are the perfect medium for the salt...I reduced the recipe by half and used dark chocolate (62%) chunks. These were easily the biggest cookies I've ever made, but oh so good! (I used a 1/4 c. measuring cup to portion them out.) I had one for lunch....that was plenty! ;-) Make these...I dare ya! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, muddwife!
