I received an email about a public relations snafu at Nieman-Marcus. A lady and her daughter were lunching there and ordered the famous Nieman-Marcus Cookie for dessert. Mama found it to be of the usual high Nieman-Marcus standards and asked if she could get the recipe. The waitress declined to give it but would sell it to her for two-fifty. The amount was added to the luncheon bill.
When viewing her monthly statement sometime later, the customer discovered a $250 charge. When an inquiry was made to the accounting department, the green shaders told her in so many words, "c'est la vie"... nothing could be done.
Still upset that she had been 'ripped off', the woman informed Nieman-Marcus that she would publish the recipe and send it to all of her friends. Nieman-Marcus, of course, requested that she not carry out that act of retribution.
Needless to say, the recipe has been shared and a delicious one it is. The original makes 112 cookies. I halved it and also used a #20 disher - ice cream scoop - not quite filled. Still makes about 35 plump, mouth-watering cookies.
Click here to get the recipe. I'm kinda glad she published it. Think you will be too.
