Ultimate Smores Cookies with Smoked Sea Salt

This delicious cookie is a summer time treat for kids with a sophisticated twist of salt for the adult. Toasted graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon add toasty warm notes and smoked sea salt gives the cookie a hint of smokiness as if toasted over a fire. The cookie is soft, chewy, gooey and chocolaty. Make an extra batch of dough for the freezer, as these will disappear quickly!
