Chocolate in combination with salt is a real insider tip for many connoisseurs. Thus our chocolate chip cookies today also combine a classic pastry with a salty snack. The preparation is really easy and the delicious cookies with the cute little pretzels are really nice to look at. We use organic superior dark chocolate with 70 % cocoa from the world’s leading organic cocoa origin, the Dominican Republic – a real high-class chocolate with unique taste.
