Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

This easy chocolate chip cookie recipe is founded deep in urban legend. It is supposedly a recipe produced by the department store Neiman Marcus. As such, they are known as Nieman Marcus cookies. 

The story that people tell is that a woman in Dallas loved the cookies so much that she asked for the recipe. The waitress told her she would have to buy it for "two-fifty". Thinking that the waitress meant $2.50, she told the waitress to put it on her tab. After receiving the recipe, she found out that the waitress meant $250.00. Since they would not let her return it to get her money back, she passed it to her friends and posted it on the Internet.

In response to this myth, Neiman Marcus did produce a chocolate chip cookie recipe, which they give away for free. You can find it at on their official web site. This recipe that has been passed around for years is a wonderful recipe, but is different than the one found on their site.
