I followed the Times recipe to a T and concluded that there's too much coarse salt in the cookie dough. In fact, the salt so overwhelmed the dough that I couldn't bring myself to sprinkle sea salt on top. I will try these again with much less coarse salt in the dough. I found the Valrhona chocolate feves in Whole Foods and loved the way they melted in the cookies. What a difference from the usual nonmelting chocolate chips/chunks!
