Ok ok, bear with me on this SECRET INGREDIENT.
In the Philippines we have a dried anchovy we call dilis. Here, I’ve used it as a topping to a gorgeous chocolate chip walnut cookie. It adds a bit of saltiness like flaky salt as well as an extra crispy texture.
PLEASE don’t knock it before you try it!
