The REAL Neiman-Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie
From NeimanMarcus.com: "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 cookie is 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."
Makes about 151/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-3/4 cups flour
1-1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder, slightly crushed
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Cream the butter with the sugars until fluffy.
Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract.
Combine the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop by large spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or 10 to 12 minutes for a crispier cookie. Makes 12 to 15 large cookies.

Would make this again.
I, too, prefer the blended oatmeal and shaved hershey bar recipe. This recipe has enough sugar, my kids can do without the espresso powder!

I have tried several "Neiman Marcus Cookie" recipes. This isn't the greatest one. Try the one with the blended oatmeal and shaved Heshey bars! It is sooo good!

I'm new to baking and these were my first cookies that turned out just great. Thanks!
I wanted these to be dark chocolate chip cookies - so I made the following variations:
I added only 1 cup flour instead of 1-3/4th cup as written in the recipe. I added 1/2 cup baking cocoa instead of the espresso. They were soft chewy just like how I wanted them to be. wonderful recipe. I would definitely make this again (and again :) )

PERFECT! The entire family loved them. I don't think the espresso makes a difference in taste, but it did make my little sister a bit hyper. Anyway, this recipie couldn't be better!

This is my families absolute favorite chocolate chip cookie! Rich, decadent but not too sweet. They don't last very long around here.
