TWD: World Peace Cookies

The recipe this week for Tuesdays with Dorie was chosen by Jessica from cookbookhabit. Ha! maybe we should get her to join in on the bake alongs because it seems she has a crazy big cookbook collection too!

Anyhoo back to the cookies... World Peace Cookies on page 138. In short they are so named because one of Dories neighbors believed that a daily dose of these cookies "....is all that is needed to ensure planetary peace and happiness."

They are good and super duper chocolaty but I'm not certain they are world peace worthy, though some of the guinea pigs at work might agree.... I could have gone for a bit more saltiness in mine even up to a whole tsp of fluer de sel instead of the 1/2 recommended in the recipe. Or even use of the kosher salt would have been better because it would get that bite of salt I enjoy that this was missing.

    Eh, I wasn't crazy about these,I think they'd be better with less salt, not more.

    Got any ideas for the next bake along?

    Your cookies look perfect. I couldn't get mine to go so perfect when cutting! I liked them too but not sure they were the "it" cookie for me.
