Chris has drill this weekend so I thought I'd make him some cookies as a treat to take with him. He of course wanted these ones as this is his favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe! I have to say it's becoming my fav as well;)
The recipe, along with this background information can be found on the Neiman Marcus website: An urban myth is a modern folk tale, its origins unknown, its believability enhanced simply by the frequency with which it is repeated. Our signature chocolate chip cookie is the subject of one such myth. If you haven't heard the story, we won't perpetuate it here. If you have, the recipe below should serve to refute it. Copy it, print it out, pass it along to friends and family. It's a terrific recipe. And it's absolutely free.
Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups flour 3
teaspoons instant espresso powder, slightly crushed (omitted)
1 bag milk chocolate chips (We only use milk chocolate at our house, but the recipe originally called for semi sweet. Sometimes I also use some white chocolate chips as well.)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds)
2. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.
3. In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Drop by large spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or 10 to 12 minutes for a crispier cookie. (We prefer the soft gooey kind so bake them for about 8 mins.)

Makes 24 to 30 large cookies.
Note: This was a small recipe and we always doubled it, so I've posted the double recipe, so it's easier!
Note: The Neiman Marcus website says to bake the cookies at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie. It also says to gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2 inch circle before you bake them.
