About the Recipe:  The cookie is a chocolate staple, a French shortbread cookie., It has brown sugar, making it chewier. It also has a generous amount of chopped bittersweet chocolate and an immediately discernible amount of fleur de sel (salt).

PLAYING AROUND Rolled-and-Cut World Peace Cookies. WPC dough has a mind of its own and it’s hard to corral it into perfect rounds no matter how you handle it. If you’re on a quest for a neater, rounder cookie, roll the dough to a thickness of 3/8 inch and refrigerate or freeze as you would for logs. If you have 2-inch baking rings, use a cookie cutter that’s slightly smaller than 2 inches, cut out rounds and center the rounds in the baking rings. (Muffin tins won’t work for these cookies.) Alternatively, you can cut out the dough and bake it on lined cookie sheets — it’s how we made the beautiful cookie in the photograph. The baking time remains the same no matter how you cut the cookies.

About the Dough for this Cookie:
A word on mixing, log rolling and patience: This dough can be different from batch to batch — it always seems to turn out well no matter what, but the inconsistency can be frustrating. I’ve found that it’s best to mix the dough for as long as it takes to get big, moist curds that hold together when pressed and then knead if necessary, so it comes together. When you’re rolling it into logs, keep checking that the logs are solid. Again, the dough can be capricious, and it may not always roll into a compact log on the first (or second or third) try. Be patient.
