Cyn and Melissa - what kind of salt did you use? [NT] - cheezz - 3:01am on 01/15/13

I have a tin os Sicillian sea salt and used that. Any coarse salt would be fine. Took Melissa's advi - CynUpstateNY - 11:49am on 01/15/13

I used kosher. [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 1:10pm on 01/15/13

I have kosher, and it's the only coarse salt I have right now. - Michael in Phoenix - 4:12pm on 01/15/13

It's fine Michael. You could even use non-iodized table salt in the dough. [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 5:47pm on 01/15/13

It almost looked flaked, which is why I was wondering - thanks! [NT] - cheezz - 2:13am on 01/16/13

I googled to see a picture of them and I see that there are 2 versions - DawnNYS - 7:22pm on 01/15/13

Penny's makes really good cookies but I wouldn't consider it a flat cookie - cheezz - 3:03am on 01/15/13

I was answering based on "flat" as in "not puffy" :-) These can be rolled super thin - - LisainLA - 4:52am on 01/15/13

Yes, flat, as in easy to write on. Not bumpy :o) [NT] - DawnNYS - 7:42pm on 01/15/13
