This recipe for salty-topped chocolate cookies ran in the Boston Globe a couple weeks ago.  They come from A-Frame, the Los Angeles restaurant owned by Roy Choi (of LA food truck fame). Pastry chef Beth Kellerhals sandwiches the cookies with Sichuan black pepper ice cream.

I started making the cookies, which are gigantic, in a much smaller version and sprinkling them with only a few grains of Malden sea salt -- a little goes a long way. If you shape heaping tablespoons of batter onto baking sheets, you get about 3 dozen cookies (bake 12 minutes only or just until the tops crack).

The salt with the fudgy chocolate is pretty spectacular.

If you want to contribute a recipe to The Recipe Box Project, please write it below. Also tell us where you got it (package box, cookbook, mom, friend -- include the name). We're looking for the kinds of dishes that people grew up on, that were served at family suppers, that tell a story, that are typically New England, or that you brought with you from a far away place to New England. We will print one of the recipes in the Food section once a month. To ask any questions, write to Debra Samuels, who is overseeing this project, at recipebox@globe.com.
