The (not-so) Original Neiman-Marcus Cookie Recipe

By Cheri O'Kelley

Ingriedients:
2 cups butter
24 oz. chocolate chips
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 18 oz. Hershey bar, grated (Oh! The chocolate! )
5 cups blended oatmeal
4 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:
Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender to a fine powder. Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and soda. Add chocolate chips, hershey bar, and nuts (if you so choose). Roll into balls, and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees (Farenheit). Notice: This makes 112 cookies, so, unless you have either a huge sweet tooth or a exceptionally large family, I would suggest halving the recipe!
