NYT Chocolate Chip Cookies
One foodie swears by the New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. “The first time I tried the NYT chocolate chip cookies, I was in love. I've made them countless times (remember to add the flake salt on top!) and am in awe. Every. Single. Time.” You can’t underestimate the power of a pinch of salt in cookies and other sweets. It provides the perfect balance between sweet and savory, and the salt helps bring out maximum flavor from the chocolate.
