When I make chocolate chip cookies I always put in roughly double the salt. I love having a small salty taste present along with the sweetness of the cookie. IIN?

    It is advised to put a little salt in cakes to enhance the flavours.

    I did this once. It was so delicious I couldn't help myself. Then my blood pressure got so high I punched the daylights out of my wife. She's okay now though.

    Maybe try some sea salt? It seems that and Himalayan salt are very popular these days.

        That sounds delicious. I love nuts so I just put extra junk in chocolate chip cookies or oatmeal raisin cookies. Mmm....cookies.

    I really try to keep my salt intake down but this is definitely the kind of thing I'd do. I was talking to someone about porridge the other day and was saying how I like it both salty and sweet at the same time. It's just a really nice combination of flavours. I actually made chocolate chip cookies on Sunday night (which didn't turn out well. Grrr!) and they were way too sweet. If I'd dialled down the sugar and added a pinch of salt, I'd have liked them a lot more. I'll probably do this next time. Thank you, OP! :)

    Hmm, I don't know, I've never tried it. I do put a bit of salt in chocolate milkshake. Not enough for it to be obvious, though.
