It must be written somewhere in the food bloggers handbook that everyone must blog about Neiman Marcus Cookies. I think have seen this recipe on nearly every blog I read, but I have never tried this recipe. So now it's my turn. I will not bore you with the folklore, only the recipe. This recipe comes from Neiman Marcus' website.
Neiman Marcus Cookies
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
3 tbs granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 & 3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 & 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder
1 & 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. In the bowl of a mixer cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until well combined. In another bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. Add to the butter mixture and beat until just combined. Then stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by the heaping tablespoon onto a cookie sheet three inches apart. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the edges are browned.
I would tell you that these were the best chocolate chip cookies, but I say that about every batch I make. What can I say, I like them all.

Love it- Never made them but am familar with the folklore!
ReplyDeleteI think it's the season to make cookies!
Well, I must be the only one that has not heard or read about these famous cookies. Thanks for the heads up. They look scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteWhat I find interesting is how this recipe has changed! I first heard about this like 10 years ago and I made them. It was NOT this recipe, I know it had shaved chocolate because I remember thinking, "Really, what is the difference between shaved chocolate and chocolate chips!" Sure, they were good but I have not made them since. Actually, I don't think I've ever been to Neiman Marcus either! :-)
ReplyDeleteI can have a few of these with my coffee right now!
ReplyDeleteHi Bo,
ReplyDeleteThose cookies are so tempting...Lovely...:)

Ohhh these sound amazing! I can't wait to try them.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I had one of these amazing cookies. Yours look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI make these cookies every year during the holidays - they're a big hit!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that everyone blogs about these cookies just attests to how good they must be. I have yet to try them but seeing them so often must be a sign.
ReplyDeleteThey look so good, I love chocolate chip cookies.
ReplyDeleteHaha, whenever a new batch of chocolate chip cookies comes out fresh from the oven, it always taste the best and meks us forget about the rest, for the moment ;)
ReplyDeleteBo, Thanks for sharing this popular cookie, if you did not blog it, i will never know this yummy cookie, will try soon. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteBo, these really look very good. Diane
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Nieman Marcus cookies either. They look great though. I like the idea of putting espresso powder in them. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThough I have heard the "legend" of the Nieman Marcus cookies, I have never actually made them myself either. They do look delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I were a baker I'd make these. In the meantime I'd like one or two or yours.
ReplyDeletethese look fabulous. I have never heard of them, however I doi have a recipe for nm cake, it's to die for. I'm back in cooking mode, starting tomorrow on mandish:)
ReplyDeletehugs
LOL so true about these cookies, love the last picture
ReplyDeleteVery similar to my Chocolate chip cookies; love the addition of coffee; must try that next batch.
ReplyDeleteThey look so yummy and well loaded with chocolate chips.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week ♥
BO is back!!
ReplyDeleteNever met a chocolate chip cookie I didn't love.Love that you made them - I never have even though I remember the early days of e-mailing when the silly Nieman Marcus chocolate chip cookie story-hoax landed in my box. They do tempt...
ReplyDeleteWait...you aren't going to charge me $250 for this recipe are you? ;)
ReplyDeleteHa - funny! Well, I'm one of the few bloggers that hasn't made them yet, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time............
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to say which ones are the real Neiman Marcus cookies since there are several ones out there claiming to be the original but how can you go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie? These look divine.
ReplyDeleteDebbi,
ReplyDeleteSeveral people have already told me that this is not the recipe they remeber...and a friend of mine has given me another recipe...I think the one you are talking about since it has grated chocolate...I'm going to try it too.
Great cookies! I used to make them quite often and will have to again after seeing this.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I've never made them, either...always "meant" to, though. They look fantastic :D
ReplyDeleteThis is one I haven't made...yet! But I'm always on the search for that elusive 'best' chocolate chip cookie - these look pretty darn irresistible!
ReplyDeleteI have what I thought was the neiman-marcus recipe, but it has oats and no espresso powder. Yours sounds even better, but I am like you; I don't think I have ever met a chocolate chip cookie I didn't like:)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a winner! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have read about this recipe on other blogs, but your pictures of the cookies are the best I have seen. The other post didn't tempt me to make a batch, yours does.
ReplyDeleteGreat cookies Bo. I remember Neiman's had wonderful tea rooms and fabulous food. I wonder if this is one of Helen Corbett's recipes. She was in charge of the restaurants there for years and I have one of her cookbooks.
ReplyDeleteSam
Oh yummy!
ReplyDeleteI finally tried this recipe and it is Ah-mazing.
