# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • The sea salt creates this incredible sweet salty moment that makes these cookies impossible to stop eating

02 -
  • Taking the cookies out when the centers look slightly underdone is the secret to keeping them chewy for days

  • The coarser your sea salt the better because you want those little bursts of salt on your tongue
