Neiman Marcus Cookies

by Irene Lindvall


We celebrated a birthday over brunch and felt like burgers for dinner so that meant I got to bake! I have a cookie cookbook I've barely opened so it felt like a good time to try something. After realizing the peanut butter recipe wanted to cool over night I settled on an easy recipe called Neiman Marcus Cookies. The cookbook told a short story about how a woman thought she was paying $2.50 for the recipe and actually ended up paying $250 (two fifty) for it. After baking (and sampling) I decided to look up the backstory to figure out why it's called the Neiman Marcus cookie. I ended up finding this instead. Very funny. Oh, and the cookies are delicious!

Things I learned from this recipe:

The recipe called for sweet butter. I thought this was different from "regular" butter so I went to the store and it turns out 99% of butter says sweet butter on the box. *Bowing my head in honesty* I did not know this. 

Would I make this recipe again?:

Definitely
