Blue Ribbon Recipe
A sprinkle of sea salt elevates these delicious chocolate chip cookies for the perfect salty-sweet combination. The soft, crumbly chocolate chip cookies are rich and buttery. We used the optional pecans and loved the crunch they added. But with an ample amount of chocolate chips, these salted chocolate chip cookies would be just as delicious without them.
