Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies

The Famous Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe

With Neiman’s being based out of Dallas, we have all grown up hearing this story:  Who knows if there is any truth to it or not, but ask anyone and somehow it happened to someone in their very own family!

A lady, while visiting New York, stopped in to Neiman Marcus and visited the Cafe’ where she enjoyed Tea and a Chocolate Chip Cookie.  She enjoyed it so much that she asked for the recipe.  The waiter told her that the cost would be two fifty, and she happily agreed to the price (assuming that it was $2.50).  Later, when she received her charge receipt she realized that Neiman’s charged her $250.00 for the recipe!  She vowed to get even for the rediculous price by giving it away to anyone that wanted it for FREE!!!

The Famous Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe

Well, there’s the story, but honestly it is a very BASIC cookie recipe!  Who Knows Where The Truth Lies???   But here it is:

Neiman Marcus' Chocolate Cookies...

Ingredients:

This Recipe makes 112 Cookies, so it is usually halved:

2  Cups          Butter

24  Ounces   Chocolate Chips

4  Cups           Flour

2  Cups           Brown Sugar

2  tsp               Baking Soda

1  tsp               Salt

2  Cups           Sugar

1  (8 Ounce)  Chocolate Bar (Hershey’s), grated

5  Cups           Oatmeal

4                        Eggs

2  tsp                Baking Powder

2  tsp                Vanilla

3  Cups            Chopped Walnuts  (Or Use Texas Pecans Honey)

Let’s Make NM Cookies:

Using a blender or food processor, pulverize the oatmeal in to a very fine powder.  The idea here is not to make Oatmeal Cookies, but rather to hide the texture in a fine Chocolate Chip Cookie!

Using a mixer, cream the butter with both sugars.  Add the Eggs and Vanilla.

Mix the creamed mixture with the Flour, Oatmeal, Salt, Baking Powder and Soda.

Add the Chocolate Chips, grated Chocolate Bar and Nuts.

Roll in to balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 Degrees (F) for 10 minutes.
