Fact or Fiction – Copycat Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies. Soft, chocolaty and delicious! These Copycat Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies are probably the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had (and I didn’t have to pay $250 for the recipe!)
Regardless…they are amazing!
You may have heard the story where a woman was at Neiman Marcus for lunch and had their amazing chocolate chip cookies. She asked the waitress for the recipe and she was told that it would cost her “two-fifty”.
Well, $2.50 seemed reasonable for a recipe, so she said okay. When she got her credit card bill, she was charged $250 and they would not refund her – so now she has made it her mission to spread the recipe to all ends of the earth to get her money’s worth.
Neiman’s has responded that this story is no more than an urban legend and there is no truth to it.
So the other day, me and some girlfriends went out to celebrate our friends birthday and we had a wonderful lunch at Neiman Marcus – it really was wonderful – such a special place to celebrate a special occasion.
So this story came up and we HAD to order the cookies – OMG, let me tell you, they really are crazy good – I know why people everywhere are trying to copycat them.
My girlfriend, Erica, and I decided we had to try this – we had to try to make copycat Neiman Marcus chocolate chip cookies! Erica is one of my best cooking buddies – she taught me to make Grandma Gail’s Ice Cream Cake and the very loved Left Over Candy Cookie Skillet (biggest problem here is who ever has candy left over!)
So Erica and her adorable son, Brandon (who was off of school) came over and we got to work. Let me tell you, we nailed it! These cookies were amazing and the best news is that I have a new cookie tester – Brandon owned that job!!!
