The $250 Chocolate Chip Cookie

Merry Christmas friends! You may have heard this story. This recipe has been circulating around for years claiming that a Neiman-Marcus Cafe customer asked for this cookie recipe and was charged $250 so she made the recipe go public. Whether it is true or not, this cookie is really delicious. I didn’t add the chopped nuts to mine but you may choose to do so.

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 Farenheit.

Cream butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey bar and nuts (optional).

Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Bake for 11 minutes.

Ardenwood Oatmeal Crispie's

This is the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever tasted. Many years ago, I went to Ardenwood Farms in Union City, California, to watch a civil war re-enactment. Everyone was dressed up from the civil war era, it was quite amusing. They had many recipes sitting out and this is the one that peaked my interest. I have since made them many times for my family and while stationed at the fire station. Everyone loves them. They are my children’s favorite.
