Has anyone else received the email about the famed "Neiman Marcus cookie" fiasco? I did the other day and thought it was interesting if true. The Cliff Notes version is that this woman was duped into purchasing the recipe for their delicious cookies at the famously expensive department store for $250. And according to her that is $247.50 more than what she was told she was paying for it. She tried to get her money back to no avail with the prominent retailer.
The lady encourages anyone and everyone to spread the word about the recipe in an attempt to at least "get even" with NM. While I don't know if it is even a true story I don't need an excuse to make cookies, do you?
I'll be trying these one day soon. I may wait until it is a bit cooler outside. I grew up not eating much out of the oven between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Just too darn hot to cook with this time a year! Although I don't think I'll be able to wait until September...the next cool rainy day we have will be a great time!
If anyone gives them a whirl, let me know what you think!

My friend, Heather, made them the other day and she brought me one! They were GREAT! You'll love them!
ENJOY! :) Kara P.
I looked up the story on snopes.com, an urban legend reference page, and they said it's not true and has actually been around for 50 years with the 'bad guy' changing. So, I wonder where the recipe really came from :) Glad to hear that they're good, though.
