Three (top notch) (totally awesome) (majorly job applicable) (important!) skills Iโd like to add to my job resume. (Yesโฆ this is a place my mind wanders.)
โ Outrageous use of punctuation and constant abuse of sentence structure. While at first troublesome and awkward, the abuse does (over time) lend itself to a conversational and relatable tone.
โ Able to catch any cell phone as it falls through the air towards the floor. Itโs a super powerโฆ Iโve got it.
โ Adept at combining busy prints with colorful plaids in office wear outfitsโฆ without causing serious blindness.
Bonus!
โ Consistent cookies at work. I bring em. I mean, come on!
Waitโฆ do people still know how to write resumes? Is that still a thing kids learn in school, or is everyone just building the Internet these days? Whatโs going onโฆ and when did I start sounding like a kooky old lady!?
These cookies are full of everything you would expect: dark chocolate chips, pure vanilla extract, and sugars.
These cookies also have a few bonus ingredients: black sesame seeds and soy sauce.
I put soy sauce in cookies. Just a touch. I think it adds a really subtle earthy saltiness. Itโs the little thing in these cookies that make you goโฆ hm!!
Butter and sugar is where it all begins.
If you donโt have a stand mixer, feel free to use hand beaters or just a bowl and wooden spoon.
Either way you mix it, youโll want the butter and sugar to come to this creamy and fluffy consistency.
Add eggs and beat until thick and creamy.
Simple dry ingredients. Just flour, baking soda, and salt.
Sesame seeds and a toothsome and just slightly savory quality to these cookies. I like to add just a touch of coarse sea salt to the top of the cookies before they bake.
These cookies are chewy-salty chocolate-sesame studded-good times. Theyโre different. Theyโre prettyโฆ just like your shoes and your hair.
I have always been a major advocate of bringing fresh baked cookies to a job interview. Tell people they have soy sauce in them, but only if you want to show off.
Sesame and Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
makes 20 to 24 cookies
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 to 1 teaspoon soy sauce (donโt be scared)
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
1 cup dark chocolate chips
about 1/4 cup black sesame seeds for rolling and coarse sea salt for topping
Place racks in the center and upper third of the oven and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside and weโll preheat the oven after we chill the dough.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the butter mixture with a spatula. Add the egg and egg yolk and beat on medium speed until mixture is fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and soy sauce. Stop the mixer and add the dry ingredients, all at once to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until just combined. Stop the mixer, add the sesame seeds and chocolate chunks, and fold together with a spatula until well combined. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 45 minutes.
Just before youโre ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place about 1/4 cup black sesame seeds in a small bowl.
Scoop cookie dough by the heaping tablespoonful into your hand. Roll into a ball, and toss around in the black sesame seeds. The dough balls donโt need to be completely covered in seeds, just coated well. Place on prepared baking sheets. Bake for about 12 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven, allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container. Cookies will last for a day or two. The oils on the seeds can tend to go rancid. These cookies are best eaten within a few days. That shouldnโt be much trouble!

That was an amazing and easiest way of making chocolate cookies at home. I am definitely gonna try this very soon.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your cookie recipe! Someone I just met made the cookies and they were so delicious. So iโm going to try them also. Thank you!!!
just baked these. theyโre super interesting and delicious. definitely not your average cookie. the soy sauce is subtle and adds a nice layer of flavor. mine took a little bit longer to bake (about 15 minutes) โ but my oven has a mind of its own. i also needed more black sesame seeds for rolling the cookies than the recipe calls for โ about 1/2 C. thanks for the recipe!
I have these chillinโ in the fridge right now! Iโm not gonna lie..I tried some of the dough and it was delish!
Hello Joy, I just want to let you know that I made these Salty Sesame Chocolate Chip Cookies and posted them to my site, with full credit and link back. I found them deliciously intriguing and incredibly satisfying. Thank you so much for posting this recipe and for your beautiful web site. You can find my post at https://www.thefinercookie.com/salty-sesame-and-dark-chocolate-chip-cookies/2015/8/24/salty-sesame-and-dark-chocolate-chip-cookies?rq=sesame.

All the best to you. Keep up the great work,

The Finer Cookie
Mmmmm I was so looking forward to the salty earthyness professed by othersโฆ instead these cookies taste like sugar. Recommendation: halve the sugar and you might get the benefit of the other cool ingredients ;)
I made these for the staff at work and they DEVOURED them! Everyone wanted the recipe and couldnโt tell there was soy sauce in there. Fantastic cookies!
yes! this is what the japanese do with their sweets. a LOT of japanese food (savory and sweet) has shoyo (soy sauce) and sugar together. teriyaki is basically just those two ingredients and you can add garlic, green onions, etc. i love eating fresh, homemade mochi with sugar and shoyu.
Just made these, so easy and really tasty! I couldnโt wait to chill the dough for so long, and though it made for sticky fingers, it was fine. Thank you for another great recipe!
Dear Joy,
Just made these tonight for my bfโs nut-free mama whoโs coming to stay with us this weekend. I had thought that the pistachio, smoked sea salt, chocolate cookie recipe was my favorite to come out of the cookie part of your brain but These. May. Top. Those. Lady, these are good stuff. Relatedly, I donโt mind not shelling lots of pistachios. Thanks for another winner.
Fondly,
d
Has anybody tried freezing these cookies since the sesame causes them to spoil rather quickly? They are AMAZING and I want to contribute them to a get-together but would need to make them a bit in advance.
Thanks
These were great. Played around with the ingredients based on what I had, but I loved the idea of adding sesame seeds and soy sauce. Funny to see peopleโs reactions!
I made these last night to take to a holiday party today. Delicious! I love the addition of soy sauce. They did spread quite a bit though โ I ended up cutting them into cookie strips and pretending I planned that all along.
This recipe intrigued me (yea, you had me at black sesame seeds, but the soy sauce was the final straw). These might be the best cookies Iโve ever eaten.
By the way, black sesame seeds can be found at low prices at many Asian markets!
Great recipe, glad I found this on Pinterest. Where do you get your black sesame seeds? I get mine from EatSeed.com
Great site. Thanks for sharing!
Haha. Iโm feeling you on the resume woesโฆ although I havenโt tried bringing cookies to an interview yet โ maybe thatโs my problem?
Iโm just about finished making these, though with balsamic reduction sauce rather than soy. Iโve eaten enough of the dough to know that they will be great! Awesome recipe, thanks for posting it :)
Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Hi โ I want to make these for a party โ do I sprinkle the sea salt on top of the balls before baking?
Thanks!!
Sarah
Thanks so much for this recipe Joy. My brother in law and I have a tradition of trying out one of your recipes every time he comes back home from University. We made these last night and they were incredible. The soy sauce was an inspired addition. You have very happy fans down here in New Zealand!
Just made โem- canโt stop seating the dough! Made some with chocolate and some without- YUMMO!
You are brilliant, Joy! I just made a batch and they are fantastic. So unique and so tasty! :-)
Baking these now. One word โ awesome !! As always, you rock. Thanks foe being you!
What a fun recipe! I was very excited to try these, but got mixed results. While baking, the cookies spread out to fill both the cooking sheets- not very attractive, but still very tasty. Not sure what went wrong since I made the cookies slightly smaller than the recipe suggested (32 balls). Love the taste, but wish they didnโt spread. :/
I had this problem too! Iโm fairly certain my problem was either 1) the fact that I used gf flourโฆand a blend Iโve never tried before, so I had no clue how it would bake up, or 2) I chilled the dough for just barely 45 minutes because my boyfriend kept stealing spoonfuls of dough out of the fridge. I seriously canโt wait to tell him the dough had soy sauce in it. :) But also, I know that accidentally adding too much sugar can cause cookies to spread, and the texture and flavor can make that pretty obvious.
Joy, do you have any other ideas?
Do you use dark or light soy sauce for this?
I totally used to dip my fortune cookies into soy sauce as a kid. This recipe was made for me!
I just baked these. Yummy!! But I think Iโll add just a bit more soy sauce and salt. The flavour didnโt really come through.
Oooh, sweet and saltyโฆIโm sold. You are so darn creativeโsoy sauce in cookies? My adventurous side is verrrry intrigued. This is happening.
Also, you should totally add the brings-cookies-to-work thing to your resume. I may have mentioned I secretly possess the ability to toss pizza dough the other day in a job interviewโฆand they told me I should put THAT on my resume. True story. So there. You should do it!
Those really are top notch!
I wonder if made thicker they would work well as a base for Filthy Brownies โ cookie dough, Rolos and brownie mix, layered, baked and served warm.

I made these cookies Saturday night and my raw food-obsessed roommate could not get enough of them! She never eats sweets, so it was a pretty big deal for her to eat 5 cookies fresh out of the oven (oh, and she helped me lick the bowl clean, too!). They were such a hit that I made them again on Sunday, took them to a party, and everyone ADORED them. Thank you for the amazing recipe!!!
Hi,
just made the cookies yesterday for a danish easterlunch โ and they were great! Forgot to frezze them, but they turned out really good anyways!!
Thank you for some really good recepes!
Tanja, from Denmark
Salty, sesame sassiness all rolled up into one globule of goodness. Another epic wonder!
Cheers
You always have the most unique recipes. Thanks for being such an awesome blogger!
Yum, another food blogger friend posted about miso sesame cookies, which also work amaaazingly with honey and chocolate chips in place of sesame. Soy sauce would perform a similar function to the miso, so these look like a real winner!
Joy!
I ran out to scrounge up some black sesame seeds and dark chocolate disks for these cookies and they turned out amazing. Perhaps my favorite recipe of yours so far. These definitely inspire me to play around in the kitchen!
Also your book stop in PDX was great โ donโt let the road wear you down too much!
Iโm so glad you made these and loved them! Youโre favorite recipe yet!? Amazing. That makes me so happy!
I trust you Joy, completely
but why am I terrified of the idea of putting soy sauce in my chocolate chip cookies? >.<
I just have to tell youโฆ
I think you are a wonderful person. I have not met you but i love your writing, your honesty as much as I like your recipes. You are your name ,and I wish you all the sucsess with your book and the many more I expect to come in the futureโฆ. Yay
thank you for such kindness!!
delightful as ever!
Wowsa! Love this ideaโฆ.
How fun!!
Yum! I love, love, love this idea. Sesame is awesome, of course. And putting soy sauce in cookies is so daring! Like the skydiving of cookie baking!
Kooky old lady or not Iโll love you forever and ever!
I love lots of salty in my sweets so these cookies looked like theyโd be right up my alley. I was right. They are SO GOOD. I made a batch last night, and knowing I would eat them all myself otherwise, I brought them in to work to hand out. I think my job security just increased by 1 tsp or so of soy sauce. Good decision all around. Another good decision: having a fourth cookie today, which Iโll go do now. YUM.
P.S. Iโm very proud of you.
These sound utterly amazing! I canโt believe I missed your book tour in northern California. So disappointed. (Unexpected illness in the family) I hope you come this way again.
I just discovered your blog for the first time and I was put to tears of joy just reading your blog and watching your videos. I love your storytelling of how your baking starts out with your Dad and became a passion and part of your life. I love how you continue to bake as a tradition for your Dadโฆhis love for pies. Your Dad must be proud of you and he should be proud of himself for raising you up well. You are such a good daugter. Thank you for your blogging and sharing your stories, your life and your recipesโฆand congratulations on your first cookbook. I will be purchasing one today!
What if I added a little citrus kick to these? Would that be acceptable, too?
Joy, you have this crazy ablity to make your recipes look so easy and doable which makes me want to make them all! Iโm loving this crazy combo of soy and sesame seeds.
These look amazing and I love that youโve used sesame in these cookies!
You are like the coolest person Iโve never met. Who else has the confidence and creativity to post a recipe for cookies that has soy sauce and get a hundred loyal fans dying to try it as soon as possible?
can i be just like you when i grow up?
Oh Dear God. I need these. Iโve been thinking about chocolate chip cookies all day โ and then this happens. Chocolate and salt and sesame. Yum.
love,
Shalan
You know, soy sauce isnโt so strange. Iโm a Classics scholar, and the ancients used Garum (fish sauce) as a form of seasoning . . . even in desserts! It doesnโt taste like fish, in case youโre wondering . . . it just adds a bit of savory-ness and umami, dare I say?
Umami in my cookie! Yay! Lol.
Umami. Itโs not just for steak any more.
These are genius!
I would think saying โUm Iโm Joy the Bakerโ would do for a resume. Seriously love these cookies and your cookbook too!
These look so nom! I canโt wait to try them.
I used to work for a little indie coffee shop and we had a frozen blended drink made with black sesame seeds. It had that wonderful toasty sesame flavor. I alway thought it tasted sorta like the milk left over at the end of my honey nut cheerios bowl, lol. Delish. Iโll have to look up the recipe and send it to you. :-)
Mmmmm, those look yummy. Iโm gonna have to go out and buy some black sesame seeds.
These sound so good, must try!
Considering I love all these ingredients, I not opposed to try it!! Joy, U are so fun, and I havent even met YOU!!!!
I think consistent cookies at work would be a welcome addition to any resume. Thatโs one thing Iโd look for in a job candidate. These cookies are out of control.
Joy, Thank you for being you and for sharing your 3 awesome resume skills. It brings a smile to my face.
soy sauce in chocolate chip cookies.
MIND BLOWING.
Wow. Iโve never heard of using soy sauce in a cookie and I never would have thought of it! Thatโs so interesting. Iโll definitely have to try it. :)
Ohhh, those look amazing. So creative!
When I first saw your opening picture, I definitely thought you made muffins. Then you totally blew my mind saying they were cookies! Gosh, I love surprises : ) Thanks for the great post!
Wow! I feel like I HAVE to make these! So, I will! Love the creativity!
OMG!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMโฆMIAM!
Is this chocolate/soy sauce combination adapted from your idea for popcorn with soy sauce, or just another ingenious creation entirely? (P.S., I got the wonderful privilege of meeting you in Chicago and you answered a question about a recipe youโre trying to make work.)
Speaking of that recipe: what if you did a salty/sweet caramel corn and incorporated the soy sauce by roasting peanuts in a sugary/soy saucy mixture? And then adding the peanuts to the popcorn and dousing it all in ridonkulous amounts of caramel and course sea salt and maybe a few chunks of dark chocolate(????)
Thanks for this wonderful recipe! Best wishes :)
I never would have thought to add soy sauce to a cookieโฆwhat an interesting idea! I do think the sesame seeds make these especially pretty.
Ooh la la, these are simply too chic! Itโs like Coco Chanel is stopping by for tea.
Girl, you KNOW sheโd approve.
Wow, I love this idea! Will try these out for sure!
I love sesame in cookies, it gives a nice flavor to them!
These are a really cool idea โ itโs just a touch of soy, so I can see how it adds that โhmmโ and not โeww.โ I just need to hunt down the black sesame seeds for it!
Hey ! Your cookies look wonderfull !
More than this cookies, your book is realy great ! I love it !
Your are an inspration for my and many other person !!!
If you come in France a day to sign up send my a email !
Since I go to Bastyrโฆ which is hippie food centralโฆa friend used fish sauce to make her vegan cookies taste betterโฆ So yeah, soy sauce in cookies, yes! Although I canโt have soy since its not a-f, Iโll have to try it with coconut aminos some time!
You had me at salty!! I LOVE salt and chocolate, but youโve definitely taken it to another level with the soy sauce. Iโm so intriguedโthese look fantastic!
xoxo

I am completely fascinated by these. For one thing I love sesame seeds, and I love chocolate chip cookiesโฆso for me these cookies are like a โvoila!โ moment. The soy sauce is a little freaky, but I trust your baking sense and your tastebuds. Now I want to try making these. As for bringing cookies to job interviews, I totally almost brought some to an interview the other week but it just feels so much like a bribe- lol! WellโฆI guess it kind of IS. Oh well, next time. :P
I just love the combinations you come up with, these look so good! And I wish I could have seen you when you were in St. Louis. You should come to Springfield, MO too, someday โ even if you just come to my house and eat my inferior, boring food.
These cookies look wonderful! What a great twist on chocolate chip cookies, YUM! :)
Haha, I totally get the three skills thing! I always think that when Iโm writing out a cv or cover letter. My skills may not be standard, but I have some random ones that might come in handy :)
These cookies look delicious, I love the idea of adding in some soy sauce. Sounds fantastic!
As someone who also uses a LOT of punctuation in her writing, Iโve always had the belief that as long as you have and follow a style guide (even if itโs your own personal style guide that uses two spaces after periods and colons, made-up super-long-hyphenated words, lots of nested parentheses, and puts the period outside the quotation mark unless it was part of the actual quoted text, in which case you use a period both before and after the quotation mark!), your writing is totally correct.
Ironically, I almost typed โyouโreโ instead of โyourโ in that last sentence. Just goes to show you can have all the MLA or non-MLA style you want and still make dumb mistakes.
Also, these cookies: awesome!
At first I was like, โewโ. Then I was all โwhoaโ. Youโre brilliant!
Whoa! Totally making these tonight!!
Joy, I love all your creations, but this is outrageously brilliant. Seriously, go you.
Joy, youโre the best! I love how grounded you are. I know that when you meet the public eye, you necessarily put the best foot forward, but you also bring yourself very uniquely and very honestly to each encounter. Itโs a wonderful quality to haveโฆ keep cultivating it!
i like how you wrote โdonโt be scaredโ next to the soy sauce on the ingredients list. because when i saw soy sauce as an ingredient, i said to myself, โthese look totally awesome โ but thereโs no way iโm making them with soy sauce.โ howโd you know iโd be scared??! mind reading. another superpower to add to the rez.
Love the cookies โ also love the list of skillsโฆI think I need the superpower that lets you catch your phone before it smashes to the floorโฆmy poor phone well letโs just say itโs met my tile floors one to many times.
Salty and sweet?! Amazing. As a big fan of sesame seeds and cookies, this combination is absolutelyโฆ divineโฆ *dreamy sigh*
As for the resume, I think people are mostly moving to LinkedIn now. The nice thing is that they DO have a pretty awesome skills section, so you can totally add those in ;-)
ummmm i have a job interview this afternoonโฆ..i did not make cookiesโฆbut i shall let them know that their office will never lack fresh baked goodness!
Woah there, Joy. These look and sound incredible. Never seen a cookie quite like these!
These are so creativeโฆ as per usual. Love the little touch of soy and seeds. Nommmm.
Whenever I think, โOkay, sheโs done. thereโs nothing more that Joy can dream up that Iโve never heard ofโ you come out with something totally crazy and new. Go you! These lookโฆ interesting? But in a good way!
Aw Joy, youโre not kooky, but a cookie old lady (aha, pun..)! Youโll be one hellofa grandma someday. And I mean that in the best way possible.
Hey cookie woman! These look speck-tack-u-lure!!!
About resumes. Yes, they do. Write them. Our 10th grader just finished her very 1st resume last night. The assignment was to to the resume for her future age 30 (!) self! And Gabe did his first resume as a Junior in High School for an event called Job Shadow Day.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxox,
jk
Wow. I think I may have heard of sesame seeds in a cookie, but never soy sauce. This looks really interesting, and Iโd be willing to try it (plus I really like the taste and texture sesame seeds bring to foods :P )
ooo those have to be good!!
Hmmmm, these sound really intriguing! I love the combination of sweet and salty together in one bite, so I definitely am going to give these a try. If anything, itโll be so that I can figure out what a cookie with soy sauce tastes like. They look great!
Hold the phoneโฆ Hold. The. Phone. Missy. These are coolโฆ Really cool. Like superhero cool. Sesame seeds and dark chocolateโฆ. In cooooookies?
Wow. Justโฆ. Wow.
These sound awesome!
OMG! I canโt wait to try these and amaze my friends with their deliciousnessโฆ. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes!
whoa craziness! I just posted a recipe for black sesame cocoa brownies with salted caramel ganache and black hawaiian salt today! Apparently chocolate, sesame and salt are a winning combo today! Those cookies look droolworthy!
these look so good! i canโt wait to try veganizing them!
Joy!
Iโm super interested in various alcoholic beverages as of right now.
& the one Iโm most interested in is Melomel!
& brewing delicious homemade fruity mead sounds like you.
Please do it & show me how easy it is for you so I can work up the courage to do so!
Iโve had sesame and chocolate together, but not with soy sauce. I love it for the extra salt.
Wasabi next time?
Woah! Crazy and delicious looking. Pure Joy, as always.
Wowza! No more need to dip a chip in ice-cream! Yep, thatโs right! Satisfying my crazy salty-sweet cravings right in a cookie!! Who knewโฆ.soy sauce!? They sound magical and for that reason, Iโm baking some up today!
Love your great stuff!
Wish weโd see you in NCโฆ.maybe somedayโฆโฆ
โI have always been a major advocate of bringing fresh baked cookies to a job interview.โ
Wow, I guess I have been living under a rock; why the EFF did I not think of thatโฆโฆ.sheesh. NEXT TIME!!
Thanks for the tip!!
I have been on a sesame seed kick lately so these are right up my alley. Also kudos on the whole soy sauce thing, kind of genius.
what an interesting combination! :-) Iโll have to try these out!
For the record- proper sentence structure is totally overrated (I might also feel that way because I hail from Pittsburgh). Yesterday I found myself looking up how to use a semicolon vs a colon and then realized that there is life to be lived insteadโฆ and apparently cookies that need to be baked!
this is soโฆodd. But somehow I really want to eat them! Sometimes I wish I could taste things over the internet!

I am intriguedโฆ. first by the sesame seeds (love them), then by the soy sauce. OH, and by the dark chocolate, but dark chocolate always intrigues me. I can picture how these babies taste, but I think I might have to make a batch just to confirm my suspicions that they are as delicious as they look!
Now this I need to try!
This cookie looks amazing. Soy sauce? Seriously? I gotta try it!
Yum! These look delicious and perfect! I love flat, perfectly round cookies that have the crunchy edge and soft center. And I love sesame seeds too โ such a unique combo.
These sound so wonderful!
This is like the sweet/salty combo taken to a whole new level!
I use soy sauce all the time but never in cookies.
Interesting idea. Iโll have to try it
soy sauce huh?? wow!!! i so canโt wait to try this out!
I LOVE the sound of these! Intrigued by the soy sauce but can imagine it works as I love all that salty sweet flavourโฆI SO have to bake these this weekend.
Iโm not even a baker โ and I can tell you that these are the next cookies Iโm going to make!
Soy sauce in cookies!!?? I was going to bake some regular old chocolate chip cookies this weekend but youโve got my interest piqued. Iโll be trying these instead. :)
Just made these. They were fabulous! Soy sauce is an excellent addition. Thanks for the recipe :)
I love, love, love, love black sesame! Thereโs a black sesame smoothie at a restaurant in the Philadelphia Chinatown that I consider my favorite dessert on the planet. I canโt wait to make these cookies!
This sounds so interesting! Iโm very curious how they will taste. Canโt wait to try these!
Thanks for the continual tips and tricks (amazed by the soy sauce)! Youโre a natural!
I can relate to the outrageous use of punctuation! I use exclamation marks way too much! I think it makes me sound super excited though, so itโs all good. Iโm just enthusiastic! Love the cookies!
Letโs hope this is the secret to landing a job/internship for the summer! Bonus: if not, I get to keep the cookies. Canโt wait to make these. Thanks again Joy; canโt wait to see you in NYC!
These cookies are defiantly something I have never encountered? Soy sauce and sesame seeds? You come up with the best concoctions. I have to try them because I am so curious.
The thing I love about blogging is not worrying about grammatical stuff. My 12 year old actually corrects my writing quite often, Oops!
Hm, my interest is piqued! I love soy sauce and I love chocolate. Think I have to make these soon! Thanks, Joy!
Soy sauce huh? Sounds very interesting!
beautiful! want.
oh, joy! you never fail to supply us with creative recipes. soy sauce + black sesame? i gotta try it! xo nicole
Soy sauce in cookies โ I am intrigued! Thanks for another totally unique recipe!
These cookies look delicious! I love sweet and salty combosโฆ in fact, there are some days when I crave corn chips and chocolate together. These cookies are right up my alley. P.S. I made your poppy seed crackers with the half and half and your orange cream cheese pound cake. Delicious beyond imagination! You are awesome!
Soy sauce?! Thatโs wild and crazy!
What the what?! Soy sauce in cookies? I HAVE to try it! And when are you coming to Orange County for a book signing?!
Yum, these look so good. I love the look of a sesame covered cookie. These are now next on my โto-makeโ list.
Looks delicious! I canโt wait to try them :D
So awesome!
i love blog writing because i can just talk aloud and type, add punctuation wherever.i.want, make up words, type sounds, and most of all ignore all rules regarding capitalization.
and I love your writing!
and that cookie idea, soy sauce is sure to impress!
Excellent looking cookies! Sweet, savory, and tons of texture..all in one.
And blog writing is not like writing a term paper or a thesis. Itโs conversational, itโs fun, and it involves rampant use of punctuation errors and grammatical errors that would make one flunk out of college English but that makes your readers love you and be able to relate :)
Um, I totally told my current boss and coworkers that if they hired me I would bake for them. I should have put it on my resumeโฆ I maintain that the promise of butter and sugar on a regular basis is why they hired me to be a big fancy website designer.
These look totes amazing. I love the idea of savory ingredients with my sugar โ I can pretend that it is a real dinner :)
I want these now. Like, makethemtonighteventhoughitโs11:07 now.
Yum!
Wow, I want soy sauce in my cookiesโฆ I used to joke about attaching a cookie to my resume, but now that doesnโt seem like such a bad idea.
These sound crazy! I canโt wait to try โem!
I often think that my constant cookie supply should be enough to hire me anywhere. Google? Apple? Wieden+Kennedy? Are you listening?
Seriously though: these look awesome. Iโm all about them. Iโm also all about your book tour, which makes me sad because this little town doesnโt get your lovin! No harsh feelings: I wouldnโt stop here either.
Keep up the yummy recipes and hilarious anecdotes!
Stop it. Sweet and salty?? Youโre killing me! This is my dream cookie right here. D-R-E-A-M. Do you know what Iโm saying? I going to need you to apply at my job and bring these. Iโd hire you to do anything.
And Iโm super sorry I couldnโt make it to the Chicago book tour stop. But know that you were in my heart of hearts and I was cheering you on out here in the Midwest.
Love your face, Joy!
