Why add flaky sea salt to chocolate cookies?
Not only does larger flaky salt look beautiful, adding a nice sparkle to the rich color of the chocolate, but it also amplifies the taste of the cookie. Adding a little bit of flaky salt actually makes the chocolate taste even sweeter by blocking some of the bitter flavors of natural cocoa powder. It also gives a pop of salty crunch for a delicious mouth texture of soft buttery cookie and crisp flaky salt granules.
