This is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.\u00c2\u00a0 Ever ever ever<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 I And I can’t believe I’ve never shared it with you!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you heard the urban legend about the Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe?\u00c2\u00a0 Well, as the story goes, a lady and her daughter enjoyed a chocolate chip cookie at the NM Cafe in Dallas, then asked to buy the recipe since they loved the cookie so much.\u00c2\u00a0 Supposedly, the lady bought the recipe for “two fifty” thinking the waitress meant $2.50, but when she received her bill, the charge was for $250.\u00c2\u00a0 In her outrage, she shared the story (and recipe) with as many people as possible.<\/p>\n

This urban legend is still circulating via email today, and you can read more about it here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To refute this claim, Neiman Marcus published the infamous cookie recipe for free.\u00c2\u00a0 It is available online<\/a> (and also included in their cookbook<\/a>).\u00c2\u00a0 And although the story isn’t actually true<\/em> (or IS it?), these cookies are truly<\/em> delicious.<\/p>\n

I think the key to their deliciousness is the instant espresso powder.\u00c2\u00a0 And before you coffee haters reject this one, you can’t even taste the coffee.\u00c2\u00a0 It simply enhances the chocolate flavor.\u00c2\u00a0 I promise!\u00c2\u00a0 My husband had his doubts too, but he loves these cookies as much as I do.\u00c2\u00a0 As with any recipe featuring chocolate, I think it’s super important to use good quality chocolate.\u00c2\u00a0 My go to chips are Guittard Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Love them!\u00c2\u00a0 You can see them pictured below with my instant espresso powder of choice<\/a> and my much-loved, well-worn recipe.<\/p>\n
