Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe

A while back I was scouting out a good Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe for the cookie challenge on October 7th when I stumbled across this recipe.

A few years back I got a recipe in an email for Neiman Marcus Cookies that the recipe made 112 cookies and it had some story about a lady paying $X for it and now she’s getting revenge… you may have even seen it.

Now when you see a recipe like that in email… I’m not sure about you but I’m a little skeptical to try it, but I did and absolutely Loved them!  Well then I ran across another Chocolate Chip cookie recipe for Neiman Marcus Cookies and this is on their website… free for all :).  So I grabbed it and tried it.  Let me tell you, they are so worth it!

Neiman Marcus Cookies

Yield:	2 dozen cookies

Ingredients

	1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened 1 cup light brown sugar 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 large egg 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1-3/4 cups all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Directions
1.	Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds)

2.	Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.

3.	In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.

4.	Using a 1 ounce scoop or a 2 tablespoon measure, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2 inch circle. Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.
