Have you ever had a cookie that was so delicious that you stopped eating it?
Well, get ready to taste what you’re going to taste with this recipe, first created by Pierre Hermé nearly 20 years ago in Paris.
The biscuits got their unusual name when a neighbor of culinary expert and cookbook author Dorie Greenspan said that if everyone could try these cookies, world peace would finally reign.
The brown sugar gives the cookies a chewy, delicious texture. Plus, the chocolate chunks add a gooey texture that few can resist.
If you have any chocolate lovers in your inner circle, this might be just the treat for them.
At the time of its creation, this recipe was considered a blend of French and American baking traditions, as brown sugar was not widely used in French cuisine at the time, and adding sea salt to desserts was a French trend that had yet to gain popularity around the world.
The original recipe used French sea salt, which wasn’t a common ingredient in desserts until about 10 years ago.
This was long before salted caramel ice cream and salted chocolate bars hit grocery store shelves.
