THE $250 COOKIE RECIPE



The $250 Cookie Recipe image

Almost everybody has heard the one about the woman lunching at the Neiman Marcus Cafe in Dallas, who enjoyed the chocolate chip cookies so much that she asked for the recipe. For "only two-fifty," the waitress said, it was hers. But when the credit card bill arrived, the woman found the total near $300. Turns out the recipe cost $250, the story goes. In 1997, after years of enduring the myth, Neiman Marcus came up with a recipe - and gave it out for free. It's a delicious variation on chocolate chip cookies, using ground oatmeal, nuts and adding extra chocolate with a grated Hershey bar (you can use any brand you love).

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are available in the fall and winter months, while frozen cranberries can be found year-round. If using fresh cranberries, rinse them well before using.
  • Chop the cranberries finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cookies and prevent them from becoming too tart.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

These Neiman Marcus cranberry cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their tart and tangy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So, what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
