Indulge in the rich flavor of Nutella combined with a hint of sea salt in these delightful thumbprint cookies.

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/3 cup cocoa powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1 egg yolk. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup Nutella. Sea salt flakes, for topping.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix well. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the baking sheet. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create an indentation in the center of each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are set. Once out of the oven, gently re-indent the centers of the cookies if needed. Allow the cookies to cool completely. Warm Nutella slightly and fill the indentations in the cookies with Nutella. Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the Nutella-filled centers. Let the Nutella set before serving.

With crushed sweet potato chips, chocolate chips, and a sprinkle of sea salt, these cookies strike the perfect balance of sweet and salty.

Ingredients: 1 cup sweet potato chips, crushed. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 large egg. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips. 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts. Sea salt, for sprinkling.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the crushed sweet potato chips, semisweet chocolate chips, and chopped nuts. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Gently flatten each cookie with a fork and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
