If you Google for Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes, chances are, you will end up like a kid in a candy store. Or for a more rip-roaring comparison, like Alice in Wonderland. For the baker in us, that means pretty exciting news. There are enough recipes to put us into baking marathon 24/7, 365. Never mind that there will be an oversupply of cookies at the end of it because everyone, young and old, knows and loves CCC.
I have stopped searching for CCC recipes ever since I found this one nearly a decade ago, which by the way, is a famous urban legend. If you're serious about baking your own CCC, you would probably have heard about it too. It made its round in the virtual world community circa mid 1990s. A pretty enthralling tale that is not without the sweet smell of revenge. If your memory hasn't been jolted yet, let me give you a clue. It's the notorious $250 cookie recipe.
Ok, enough said. It's time for you to sift the flour and decide on macademia, pecan or hazelnut, white or dark chocolate because I am going to spill the secrets of this confectionery urban legend (albeit I modified it a little for convenience without compromising on the cookie texture and taste). Try it and you'll cast aside all other CCC recipes you had before.
Be warned though that addiction to these yummy cookies has no therapy or cure!

Preparation:
1. Pre-heat oven to 170*C. Cream the butter and sugar. Add egg yolk and vanilla; mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt and baking soda.
2. Add Milo powder, chocolate chips and nuts and mix until all ingredients are combined.

Tips:
- As cookie will spread during the baking process, do not roll a big dough if you plan to have a small cookie and there's no need to press the dough down before baking.
- Different ovens have different heating capability. Keep an eye on your cookies while baking is in progress to ensure they do not overbake and become bitter.
