Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies

I received an email years ago with this recipe and a story about the recipe. A lady was dining at a Neiman Marcus restaurant and love the cookie so she asked the server if she could buy it and for how much. She was told it was two fifty and had it charged to her credit card. When she got her statement she saw that she was charged $250, not $2.50 like she thought she should have been. She called the store and asked to have the charged reversed, but they refused because she had already seen the recipe. She was furious and decided to email the recipe to everyone she knew with the request to forward in on.

I have no clue if the story is true, but the cookies are delicious!


1 cup butter
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups oatmeal
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (8 ounce) Hershey bar, grated
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts, optional

Measure oatmeal into blender and blend to a fine powder. Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey bar and nuts. Roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.

  1. Funny story. I remember having and then buying chocolate covered potato chips. They were so good. I don't spend the money to buy them anymore - so easy to make myself. check this website out for some other great yummy treats. http://www.eatboutique.com
