These salted dark chocolate biscuits are absolutely delicious. I would be tempted to always have some of the cookie dough in the fridge to keep our glass jar well stocked. And I think once you have tried these, you will agree. Use the best quality chocolate you can afford when you make these. And if you do, let me know.

Everything I love about blogging
Every now and then I think I should stop blogging. It is a lot of hard work, and for ages all I did was create recipes for this space. When my creative juices stopped flowing, I started printing off recipes that I thought looked good to me. Last year I worked my way through the file in the order they were printed off. If something was not in season, I just skipped the recipe. Then in December I really got stuck in to baking and cooking what I had saved. It is being able to spread the love and share other blogs, that makes this space something great for me. It is why I love blogging. And sometimes I see a recipe somewhere, and am inspired to create something unique, and to my style of cooking.
Salted Dark Chocolate Biscuits
Karen (Back Road Journal) has shared two iterations of these salted dark chocolate biscuits. I only realized I had printed both off when I came to making them in December. I decided which of the two recipes I preferred, and think I struck gold with this one. The biscuits were amazing, and everything about this recipe worked for me. And, the added bonus was I could create an ice cream sandwich with them. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time, just to experience the texture sensation of eating one. It makes for a very generous dessert, and a great treat for a hot day. The biscuits kept very well in an airtight container which meant we could indulge in one a day.

They’re so enticing!!!
Thanks Mimi 🙂
I would love to try it! Quality ingredients do make a difference. These look and sound fantastic, Tandy.
Thank you so much! Hope you decide to make these 🙂
Dark chocolate and salt is a winning combination. Lovely biscuits; I love the caramelization on the edges – probably thanks to coconut sugar.
Thank you, the colour and combination were both amazing 🙂
These sound incredible! Turning them into ice cream sandwiches would be phenomenal.
Thank you Pattie!
Hi Tandy, these biscuits look divine. Stopping blogging is not something I’ve considered to date, I enjoy this community, especially the poetry community, a great deal. A lot of the writers have disappeared recently but the poets and bakers go on. I think it depends on your reasons for blogging.
I blog for my own record of recipes, but sometimes it can be so hard to get on top of things 🙂
I love a salty sweet treat. Salt goes so well with chocolate. I often think about giving up blogging too but i guess it gives me a lot of joy for all the hard work involved 🙂

Oh yes please! Dark Chocolate and sea salt combination is lovely!
I agree 🙂
