Coconut Oil and Sea Salt Brownie Cookies

By srumbel

these are crazy good. They are little fudge delights topped with sea salt. Which, makes the best topping ever. The sweet/salty combo is perfect. As for coconut oil, this is the first time I've used it. I loved it. It gives the the a slight nutty flavor, but, is really light. Definitely be using it much more.
