So because I am generally awesome (and also a loyal customer), FreshDirect sent me these frozen, ready-to-bake cookies for free. [NB: If you are considering buying these, I highly recommend just making the cookies from scratch—the frozenness means they have to be thawed for 45 minutes…and you could just make cookies in that time.]
Anyway, my frozen cookie objections aside, they were free, so I took them. And baked some. And they were… well, just okay, really. A little bland, really. I was mulling this over while slowly making my way through the tub of frozen cookies (I’ve been cooking them four at a time), when suddenly the solution dawned on me.
Today, after I’d thawed the dough, I sprinkled all the cookies with a nice dose of kosher salt. Then I baked them.
They were delicious.
Yes, I am extremely pleased with myself right now. [Though, to give credit where it’s due, the idea was inspired by this recipe.]
