We have made some changes in this version of the recipe from the one published in Issue 5 | January 2012 of Dialann. We added ¼ tsp salt to the list of ingredients—it really does help bring out some of the flavors—and we reduced the oven temperature to 350°F, which we think helps keep the cookies softer and prevents overbaking.
