Ah, the famous Neiman Marcus Cookie — a chewy, chocolate-studded classic with a bit of lore behind it! Here’s a solid version:
🍪 Neiman Marcus Cookies
Ingredients
-
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
2 ½ cups rolled oats (blended into a coarse flour)
-
12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
-
4 oz milk chocolate, grated or finely chopped
-
1 ½ cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
-
Prep oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment.
-
Blend oats: Pulse oats in a blender/processor until finely ground, like flour.
-
Cream butter & sugars: Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
-
Mix dry: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and oat flour. Slowly add to wet mixture.
-
Fold in goodies: Stir in chocolate chips, grated chocolate, and nuts (if using).
-
Scoop & bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake 8–10 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still soft.
-
Cool & enjoy: Let cookies rest on the pan 2 min before transferring to a rack.
✨ The ground oats make them chewy, while the mix of grated chocolate and chips gives every bite a fudgy, melty texture.
Do you want me to also share the “small batch” café-style version (fewer but giant cookies), or the big batch bake-sale style (makes several dozen)?
