The ingredient list and instructions are really simple --- it's essentially a chocolate shortbread with bits of chocolate and sea salt strewn throughout. I typically follow the recipe as written, as I think it's perfect as is. My baking notes:
Chocolate: I used Valhrona bittersweet mini-chips and cocoa powder
Sea Salt: I used fleur de sel. I also sprinkled additional fleur de sel on top of the sliced dough before baking --- it adds just a touch more saltiness, which is so unbelievably addictive with the chocolate.
Dough: Instead of shaping the dough into a round log, I shaped it into a 2" square log. The shape makes it easier for me to slice the dough. As my cookies are slightly larger, I ended up with two dozen cookies (versus the three dozen indicated in the book).
My favorite way to enjoy this cookie:

Great photos! I love these cookies!!! Glad you enjoyed them with milk, that is the best way!
My dough logs yielded about 2 dozen as well.
If I'm going to eat a cookie, I want more than a nibble.

Beautiful job! I always have trouble keeping mine round, so your square solution sounds perfect.

Dipping that cookie in milk looks perfect!
They may have been dry in the log, but they did make good dippers. Great job.
You must be gifted at baking cuz your cookies and desserts and stuff just turn out better than everyone elses. Or at least based upon your pictures they do
