Hey cookie baker: this is the secret to the tastiest cookies

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the food lovers of online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat and what to cook. This time our chefs serve you: the tastiest homemade cookies.

We have all jumped on the ‘with sweetness comes a hefty pinch of salt’ bandwagon, haven't we? Chocolate ice cream with sea salt, half and half popcorn at the movies, caramel beurre salée just straight from the jar and that Ben & Jerry’s flavor: all amazing. So definitely make cookies with some of this surprising salty snack chopped up.

Because do you know what else you can do with this crowd-pleaser, besides nibbling it like a beaver millimeter by millimeter between your front teeth? Upgrade your cookies with salty sticks.

Sweet + salt = better
Not a crazy combo, considering that salt often makes things taste more ‘themselves’. It brings the properties of something more to the forefront, like bread without salt is really shocking, or cake without a pinch of salt is bland. Everything that is good about your sweetness can really in the park or the gym. be enhanced by a bit of salt.

Little stick, big effect
And what else do those humble sticks add to your bakes? Crunch! And crunch is delicious, period. Because virtually any texture that adds extra body is welcome in a dish as far as we are concerned.

How?
Just chop or break roughly and add to your cookie dough at the moment you might also mix in other goodies like chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, M&M’s or whatever. You know what? Just throw it all in. Guaranteed party.

Fancy sister
Of course, you can also go fancy and opt for pretzels (the small ones from the chip aisle, not those soft big rolls), if you happen to be very fond of the twists in them. But hey, you're going to smash them into rough pieces anyway, so what does it matter? Let's get to work, time to bake.
