These are such happy cookies that they made me smile while baking them. :-)
It's an easy recipe, quick and simple, and the cookies come out exactly as expected.
I would note two things, though:
1. The kosher salt is a bit too much for most crowds (here at least, it was too salty for both kids and grownups ). I get the point of an added saltiness for a more complex flavor and to raise the cookies from being children's desert to something more sophisticated (which it definitely does!) however, it's a bit too much. In my next batch I will either cut on the amount of kosher salt or go for a finer grain of salt. Pun intended. Either way, be aware that the cookies end up with a salty bite to them - adjust to your likings.
And 2. While the texture was perfect when the cookies came out of the oven, by the following day they hardened quite significantly and lost the softness and chewiness that was so delightful when they were fresh. I would say that even in an airtight container they don't keep well and should be eaten immediately. Being so good, I expect that it wouldn't be a problem. *Do keep in mind that the recipe yields quite a lot of cookies so if you don't intend to eat them all right away or entertain with them, cut the recipe in half.
