I like these cookies a lot- made them three times so far. I've found that they're best if three things are followed:

First, the chopped chocolate/chips should be 53-60% dark chocolate, as the cookie base isn't very sweet and anything with a higher cacao percentage makes them too bitter and unbalanced.

Second, they really are better with the fleur de sel, as the crunchiness remains in the finished cookie and somehow the quanitity is perfect. When I made them with fine sea salt the amount wasn't quite right, tastewise, and they lacked that special crunch.

Third, beg, borrow or steal a scale, because they also have a better texture if you weigh ingredients. The volume measure for the brown sugar is not an accurate translation from the weights that this recipe was originally developed with, but rather a next-best-thing approximation.
