Chocolate Chip Cookies...with a finishing salt (fleur du sel)
...what's not to like?
I was asked to bake a few cakes for a Halloween Party of approximately 20 kids and parents.
To bring it up a knotch, (like Emeril Lagasse would say) I placed the cakes in a decoration of sorts.
I bought a plastic caldron and put the cake in the caldron. Added black tissue paper and creature features. Voila! A decoration for a cake presentation.
Check out the Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe from Jacques Torres.
I baked this for Trick or Treaters.
Really delicious! You've got to try these!
Sprinkled on these cookies is a finishing salt...Fleur du Sel.Brand: Esprit Du Sel.
What's so great about adding the salt?
You experience the sweet, then the salty.
It's a YIN/YANG experience for your tastebuds.
His recipe calls for Valrhona chocolate. I used Ghiradelli. I also added walnuts.
Happy Halloween! Be Safe!
Peace in baking,
Carmen
