Dessert / Cookies: The Original Neiman Marcus $250 Cookie Recipe

From Shelly Carey

Ingredients
2 cups butter
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
5 cups blended oatmeal (measure 5c. then put that in the blender. Blend to fine powder)
4 cups chocolate chips or 24 oz.
2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
8 oz Hershey bar grated
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice, but we like pecans best)

Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

In large bowl, beat butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy.

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Add all remaining ingredients. For each cookie, drop ¼ cup of cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set. Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
