new york times chocolate chip cookies...with a twist!

Let's face it: the chocolate chip cookie needs a bit of a revamp.  

I chose a recipe I have been itching to try, the much-discussed New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookie! Frequently lauded in taste tests, the NY Times recipe calls for dark chocolate and a sprinkling of sea salt, which adds an unexpected zing to a very sweet cookie. Inspired, I raided my pantry for an assortment of ingredients that could inject some pizzazz into this classic, familiar dessert.  

1. ghirardelli dark & mint

2. ghirardelli milk & caramel

3. ghirardelli dark 60% cacao

4. milano melts boston creme cookie

5. peanut butter

6. nutella

Yum!
