My mom made chocolate chip cookies every Sunday for the lunches she packed for us three kids for school. Though they were probably meant to last for five days, we only had CCCs until about Tuesday, after which we had to settle for some sort of store-bought cookie. I still make them about once a month for my husband and co-workers. This is the first time I have seen the recipe that calls for 1 t. soda mixed with 1 t. hot water. I just put my soda and salt in with the flour, give it a stir or two with my whisk, and add it to the creamed mixture.
