Makes 100 very tiny cookies

Resist making the cookies larger than ½ teaspoon. This recipe mimics the original as closely as possible.

Butter (for the baking sheets)
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, cut up and at room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar (lightly scooped into measure)
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon hot tap water
14 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into pea-size chunks
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped

1. Set the oven at 375 degrees. Butter 2 baking sheets.

2. In a bowl, whisk the flour and salt to blend them.

3. In an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the butter until creamy. Add the granulated and brown sugars. Continue beating for 3 minutes. Beat in 1 of the eggs.

4. In a small bowl, whisk the other egg. Beat half the egg into the dough with the vanilla (save remaining egg to scramble).

5. In a bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the hot water. Beat the mixture into the dough. Beat in the flour mixture just until a few floury streaks remain. Beat in the chocolate and nuts.

6. Drop the batter by ½ teaspoon onto the sheet, spacing mounds 1 inch apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Set the pan on wire racks to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to the racks to cool completely. Let the pans cool before baking more cookies. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

That IS newsworthy!!!!!!

Even the BBC hasn't picked up on this breaking story yet.

I am your humble random reporter. This is the original.

Cc cookie invented in Boston in 1939. Recipe sold to Nielsens' for $1.00 and printed on the back of packages of c-chips.

Before chocolate had always been melted before adding to food.

I might find one for hash brownies eventually. But alas, cookies.

I suppose the Walnuts could be substituted with "buds". Happy CC Cookies.
