Recipe Dive: A Symphony of Flavors by the Sea
In the heart of this recipe lies the harmony of ingredients – the rich dance of unsalted butter, the sweet serenade of molasses, and the bold crescendo of sea salt. Begin your culinary symphony by blending the butter and sugars until they’re as light and fluffy as seafoam. Add the molasses, pumpkin, egg, and vanilla, creating a melody of fall flavors that will make taste buds sway.
Next, the flour, salt, and baking soda join the ensemble, setting the stage for the grand entrance of chocolate chips. As the cookies bake, they rise like ocean waves, and a sprinkle of sea salt crowns each one like a salty sea breeze. These easy fall cookies are a sweet homage to coastal living and a treat we hope you’ll take with you.
