Cookie Dough Pots

Our answer

Nigella's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pots (from SIMPLY NIGELLA) are, as the recipe title suggests, gooey in the centre with a cookie-like crisp crust. Salt helps to bring out the flavour of the pots, as well as tempering the overall sweetness.

Salt type and usage is very much a personal thing and Nigella prefers fine sea salt, but regular table salt, or other fine free-flowing salt, would be just as good for the pots themselves. However, Nigella mentions in the introduction that she likes to sprinkle sea salt flakes on top just before serving and if you do want to add extra on top then it should be salt flakes and not fine salt, as the flakes add some crunchy texture as well as extra saline flavour.
