Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

We’ve had snow day after snow day this Winter. Can you guess what next week’s forecast looks like? MORE SNOW. Other than games, reading, and movies – baking seems like another great thing to do on a cold, snowy day.

Gooey, chocolatey, straight-out-of the oven kind – Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies ( are also wonderful frozen dough balls :)) are just that. What a difference a little sea salt does with chocolate of any kind, especially when I’m not much of a salt person to begin with. I love the heartiness of the oatmeal. The crunch outside and the soft and chewy inside. For your next snow day or rainy day, add these favorites to the grocery list.
