Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for later use.

6. Add Sea Salt: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie for added flavor.
7. Let Set: Allow the chocolate to cool and harden at room temperature. You can also place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to speed up the setting process.
