I'm not a big CCC-maker, so please forgive this question if inane...
do they _call_ for baking powder? I don't recall a lot of cookies
that do, offhand. I think most of their puff comes from steam and
gluten expansion... however, before I go speaking ex cathedra, I
should think about looking at a recipe...

cookies, but never gave them too much thought
