Quick Links: Apologies, but I’m going to get a titch bloggy here for a moment. This is the recipe that was allegedly sold to a customer by the Neman Marcus store for 250 bucks. That story is actually bullshit. Snopes it, yo. That being said, the cookie recipe itself is actually bomb and I don’t know where it came from. My friend Mary sent it to me, but it is all over the interwebs in several iterations of the original story. I did make all 112 of these Neiman-Marcus Urban Legend Cookies, and in the process, learned a couple tricks. I will share them.
Ingredients
- 2 cups butter (not hard, but not soft either)
- 24 oz chocolate chips
- 8 oz Hershey bar, grated
- 4 cups flour
- 5 cups oatmeal
- 2 cups white sugar
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 cups chopped walnuts (I omitted these cuz we don't care for them)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Measure out your oats and blend them into a fine powder.Â
- In a large bowl, add your oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gently mix them together with a spoon.Â
- In a fucking ginormous (really, the biggest bowl you have) cream both sugars together with your butter using an electric mixer.Â
- Add your eggs, and vanilla to the sugar bowl and mix until fully combined.Â
- Slowly mix your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients. You can probably start with your electric mixer, but it's going to get super thick and you'll need t switch to a spoon at some point.Â
- Fold in your chips, chocolate, and nuts. Stir until completely incorporated into the dough. Refrigerate until you're ready to use.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put little spoonful sized blobs on the sheet about two inches apart.Â
- Bake in the preheated oven for about ten minutes. *
Notes
* I found that in my oven, 9 minutes was the sweet spot. At ten minutes my cookies were a little crunchy. I actually turned mine down about ten degrees towards the end and got a chewier cookie. *Refrigerate the dough between batches. It helps the cookies not pancake out as they bake. *Good luck finding somewhere to store these bitches, mine are currently in my instant pot.
