by Priscilla Mead From the Daugherty Family Cookbook: "This was absolutely Paul's favorite cookie. he took a batch of them to his office on his first job after we were married. The girls loved them and asked for the recipe. I was flattered and sent it to them. Several days later, one of the girls came timidly to Paul saying her cookies were not like mine, but were like chocolate soda mints. Dismayed, on checking the recipe I wrote for her, I found that I had written 2 tablespoons of soda." --Eleanor Daugherty
