Hillary,
ReplyDeleteI made these the other day and they are delicious (though, I regret not buying a bag of chocolate chips to put in them!) After I made them, I was thumbing through the cookie recipes in the BHG cookbook and noticed something funny. Hardly any of them call for salt. I always thought salt was an important cookie ingredient. I just thought it was mildly interesting to point out.
Just saw this, a year and a half later... this has plenty of salt from the peanut butter. I'd have to look to see if the other recipes have similar salty goodness in another ingredient.
