Notes
Recipe Notes Note #1- If using Maldon's Sea Salt (for its low iodine levels) grind it in a mortar and pestle before adding to the dry ingredients. Also, if using salted butter, eliminate the salt all together. Note #2- If using a soup spoon or cookie scoop that creates a larger cookie, the baking time will be approximately 13-15 minutes. Using the smaller teaspoon from your silverware set will create smaller cookies with a baking time of 8-10 minutes. Also, make sure to leave about 3-4 inches in-between cookies to allow for spreading while baking.
