Name: Chocolate Chip Cookies with Salt
Yield: Makes about 50 cookies
Ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; About 2 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, divided; 10 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature; 1 cup vanilla sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 12 ounces bitter chocolate chips, or bitter chocolate cut in very small pieces

I made these cookies for my son's class at school as part of France's annual week of taste, or semaine du gout. The idea was to show how sweet and salty flavors complement each other.
