The Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
by AndiatBettyCrocker  1/15/2008 8:28:00 AM

There has been a lot of hype lately about the famous Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe—probably instigated by the Neiman Marcus department store chain since they are celebrating their 100th anniversary. I'd heard the urban myth for years that someone had to pay one million dollars for the recipe. Maybe you've heard a similar story?

The Neiman Marcus recipe calls for coffee powder and since I love coffee and coffee-flavored desserts, I really wanted to try it. Here's a photo of my results.

 

Chocolat chip cookies

These cookies have a darker color than a typical chocolate chip cookie, due to the coffee powder in them. Maybe for that reason, they are baked at the very low temperature of 300°F. for 20 minutes—so that they won't overbrown. The result is an evenly dried-out cookie without the crisp sides and chewy center—the texture that most of us have come to love in a really good chocolate chip cookie.  

Would I make them again? No! But I might try putting a little coffee power in the Toll House recipe that's on every Nestle package of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

i have a completely different NM cc cookie recipe. this one has blenderized oatmeal, chocolate bars, nuts, and chocolate chips. this one must be a part of the myth and presented as the true NM cc cookie! i got it the year about 25 yrs ago.funny thing about myths and legends- you just dont know- and mine must be a hox, besides i like yours, it is easier and looks like it would taste better. the one i have is hard and the freshness doesnt last long
