A recipe purported to be from the Levain Bakery (who has never, to my knowledge, *had* a double chocolate coconut-walnut cookie). When I first baked these cookies, according to the recipe I'd found, I had been interrupted between the creaming butter & sugar step and the rest of the recipe, and the cookies never flattened out. We sat around gobbling them up and analyzing them. My thought-train ran thusly "Hmmm...needs salt, but not too much salt because then they'd be chocolate salty balls instead of cookies, and who wants chocolate salty balls?" Needless to say, the name stuck, and it is how we have referred to these incredibly rich and decadent cookies ever since! I hope you love them as much as our family (and subsequently all of our guests, too!)
