Neiman-Marcus Cookies....The $250 chocolate chip cookie recipe. Have you ever heard of these? Legend has it a lady had lunch at Neiman-Marcus one day and loved these cookies so much that she asked her waitress for the recipe. The waitress said she couldn't give it to her but she could purchase it for a great deal...only "two fifty". The lady assumed she meant $2.50 but when she got her credit card bill, she was charged $250 for the cookie recipe. To get her revenge on Neiman-Marcus for not being more specific, she started sharing the recipe in all the places so that Neiman-Marcus couldn't make another dime off of it. It's an urban legend, but a fun story. And the cookies are suuuuuuper yummy! Oh, and the recipe makes A TON!
2 cups butter, softened
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups sugar
2 cups blended oatmeal (measure out 2 cups and blend them into a fine powder in a blender or food processor)
24 oz. chocolate chips
2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 8oz. Hershey bar, grated (any chocolate bar works great)
4 eggs
3 cups chopped walnuts
2 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cream the butter and both sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla until well incorporated.
In a separate, large bowl, mix together the flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, baking soda.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
Add chocolate chips, grated chocolate bar, and nuts. (You need a really big bowl for this recipe.)
Roll the dough into 1" balls and place on a baking sheet 2" apart. Bake for 10 minutes. Makes approx. 112 cookies!
