I made these last night. Great cookies--I love the crunchy on the outside but still chewy texture. Now, the oatmeal chocolate cherry chunk (from a rival...ummm...test kitchen, shall we say) are still my all time favorite. But these may rate second, and I'll definitely be taking these to the faculty. They'll go nuts over these. I have always loved the salt/sweet combination, but it never occurred to me to add salt to a sugar dusting. Great idea. Interesting note. I used my Chicago metallic half sheet pan and a stoneware pan to bake these. COMPLETELY different results. The stoneware pan needed an extra 2-3 minutes, and they were still a little doughy, w/ that slightly underdone texture and minus the crispy exterior.
