Neiman Marcus Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies 


Believe it or not, a $250.00 value. This was back in the year 2000...

(Recipe may be halved)
         Someone, let's call her Jane Doe... sent this in an email: The story goes... She and her daughter, after dining in a Neiman-Marcus restaurant, having cookies for desert, were intrigued and asked the waitress if the recipe was available, and how much was it? 
The waitress threw out a casual, "two-fifty"  so, signing the visa bill, they didn't even look at the final tab, thinking she meant $2.50. A month later when the bill came, it was a shock to learn the cost was $250.00 !! and of course they would give her no refund.
       So, to make sure she got her money's worth, she distributed this recipe by spamming an email on the internet...
