Recipe :: Salty Choc Chip Cookies

These salty choc chip cookies are simply amazing. That's saying something coming form a savoury-tooth. I don't eat cookies, cakes or sweets, however I love baking and especially for others. The idea of combining the sweet with some salty was appealing, and I have to say, this was incredible. The salt really sets off the chocolate. I used 55% cocoa for this recipe - it was perfect.
