Chocolate cookies with sea salt

My latest mission has been to come up with a good cookie recipe. I had an idea of cookies that tasted good (obviously) and were kind of filling too. Like a perfect snack to go with your afternoon coffee. I thought of the classic Swedish pastry ”chocolate balls” and decided to turn them into cookies. They turned out exactly how I wanted them! A little chewy, with bits of chocolate in them and a little sea salt sprinkled on top. Mmhm! You’ll find the recipe below.

Happy baking!
