Merry Christmas friends! You may have heard this story. This recipe has circulated for years, claiming a Neiman-Marcus Cafe customer asked for it and was charged $250, so she made it public. Whether it is true or not, this cookie is really delicious. I didn’t add chopped nuts to mine, but you can if you want. The picture above is Lucca, Italy, at Christmas.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups oatmeal, blended (measure 2/12 cups of oatmeal and blend in a blender or food processor until a fine powder).
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
12 oz chocolate chips
4 oz Hershey bar, grated
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts, optional
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit.
Cream butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add chocolate chips, a Hershey bar, and nuts (optional).
Roll into balls and place them two inches apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 11 minutes.
