Sea Salt secret in Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Cookies Recipe

Don’t forget the little sprinkle of sea salt added on top before they go in the oven… it’s a flavor pop that can’t be beat. That’s a little tip I learned from Maria at Two Peas and Their Pod during my internship with her.

In fact this recipe is adapted from her so let me tell you these cookies are completely AHhhh-mazing!

Helpful baking tips for higher elevations

• If you live 3,000 feet above sea level or more it is considered high elevation and may take longer to cook/bake. 

• Adjustments are needed for 5000+ feet and above:

• Reduce baking powder: for each teaspoon, decrease 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon.

• Reduce sugar: for each cup, decrease 2 tablespoons.

• Increase liquid: for each cup, add 2 to 4 tablespoons.

• Increase oven temperature by 25 degrees F.

• Check if it is done a little early.

• This takes some trial and error to get it right for you.
