But as i tried one, I thought, yuk, too salty, and went back and altered the recipe to half the salt content. If only I'd re-read this post first- or for that matter, amended the recipe at the time, twit. On a similar note, D and I have a new system. If ever we are cooking a recipe where there are lots of ingredients going into lots of different bowls and it's not clear which bowl needs to be the biggie as there's where everything will end up....we underline the mention of that bowl in the recipe. So you can see. Big bowl goes <em>here</em>. I made these cookies today, well over a year since last time (and in my lovely kitchen in our lovely flat, how times change) and they were scrummy.

Our chocolate was 70%. But maybe it was lacking the bitter taste of capitalism (it was Fairtrade). Could you have over salted? I felt hers were over salty, so if you'd over done it a little too....blech.. Hmm. Our chocolate was 70%. But maybe it was lacking the bitter taste of capitalism (it was Fairtrade).

The only thing I can think of is that I used chocolate with a very high cocoa percentage (I think it may have been 80%), and that might have made them too bitter. Anyway, yours look great!
