$250.00 Neiman-Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies

Someone I know learned an expensive lesson regarding this recipe.  While having lunch at Neiman-Marcus in Dallas Texas, she inquired and purchased their famous cookie recipe.  The waitress said it was two fifty.  When her VISA statement was received, it was not the two dollars and fifty cents she thought it would be – it was TWO HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS!

She now shares the recipe with everyone she can, for free. And now, I'll share it with you--  Here goes!
