Salted Dark Chocolate Cookies

Made with 2 types of cocoa powder for an intensely deep chocolate flavor, these salted dark chocolate cookies feature crisp edges and soft chewy centers just like chewy fudgy frosted brownies. A sprinkle of sea salt is the perfect finishing touch on each fudge-like cookie.
