Tasty Chocolate Chip Cookies from Neiman Marcus This is a story about a chocolate chip cookie recipe that became famous basically because of a communication problem. You may have heard it before because it is a famous "urban myth" of sorts. Some say it's true, others say it isn't, but it's a good story about tasty chocolate chip cookies just the same. One day while shopping, a woman and her daughter had lunch in a cafe inside a Neiman Marcus store. For dessert, they decided to split a chocolate chip cookie. (Neiman Marcus is known for the enormous size of their chocolate chip cookies--if you get one and don't share it, chances are you'll either be eating it for a week, or you'll get sick from eating it all at once.) The woman and her daughter had heard about these chocolate chip cookies but neither had ever had one. The woman thought they were the best chocolate chip cookies she had ever eaten, so she asked the waiter if she could have the recipe. The waiter said he could get it for her but she would be charged for it. The woman asked how much, to which the waiter replied, "Two fifty." Naturally, she assumed he meant two dollars and fifty cents, and told him to put it on her card when she paid for lunch. When she signed the credit slip, she didn't pay attention to the amount. But when she got her bill, she was shocked to see that it was $250.00!!! She assumed there was some mistake, so she called the store, and they said it cost $250.00 for the recipe! They would not adjust her bill, so in an act of revenge, she has posted the recipe all over the Internet. Whether that story is actually true or not, we may never know. Neiman Marcus's web site denies the story and even posts their recipe for those tasty chocolate chip cookies on the site--for free! It does have a couple of additional ingredients that may surprise you, but that's what goes into making tasty chocolate chip cookies--a secret ingredient or two and a little creativity! Our advice: Whatever chocolate chip cookie recipe you try, eat the cookies while they're warm and wash them down with a glass of cold milk. Tue, 19 Jun 2007 12:54:49 EDT
