Salty Sesame and Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

Winter 2013 update: This is now our favorite chocolate chip cookie. I just have to accept that cookies have a lot of butter. the soy sauce gives these an amazing flavor, and the sesame flavor also delivers. Its like dessert with a hit of umami.

I am a fan of sesame seeds and salt. But when I saw that these cookies also contained soy sauce, I knew I had to make them.

The dough came together quickly, and I formed the cookies with my new oxo cookie scoop. The recipe says it only makes 20 - 24 cookies, but I probably got 40 or so out of this batch.

I loved the salty sesame flavor. But the cookies felt a bit greasy - most of them were very shrunken and oily (photo shows a few exceptional ones).

I'd make these again, but would have to figure out how to cut the fat.
