Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe

An urban myth is a modern folk tale, its origins unknown, its believability enhanced simply by the frequency with which it is repeated. Our signature chocolate chip cookies the subject of one such myth. If you haven't heard the story, we won't perpetuate it here. If you have, the recipe below should serve to refute it. Copy it, print it out, pass it along to friends and family. It's a terrific recipe. And it's absolutely free.
Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder
1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds)
2. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.
3. In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.
4. Using a 1 ounce scoop or a 2 tablespoon measure, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2 inch circle. Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.Yield: 2 dozen cookies
Oh. How I love going to Mr. Friendy's when Soft Shell Crabs are in season. Paula Deen's recipe is slightly different, but it sounds so simple I look forward to trying it soon.
Another thing I love to do is SHOP! Who doesn't enjoy getting their hands on a warm, chocolaty chip cookie and a big glass of milk. From Neiman Marcus, nonetheless.
A heavenly day in my world: Paula Deen with me at Mr. Friendly's dishing about recipes and kicking up our feet after a long day at Neiman Marcus, followed by bedtime cookies and milk. Sans Paula then, insert snuggling up with my sweetie. Mmmm. Sweet dreams!
