  1. This past year, I discovered the NM Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe on their website http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/service/nm_cookie_recipe.jhtml. I have taken them to several book club meetings, dinner parties and get togethers and everyone has raved about these cookies. My friend, Erin, says these are the best cc cookies that she has ever had. One of the things that differs from your recipe is the baking temperature and time. The recipe on the NM website has the cookies baking at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes. I tried it and discovered that this makes for the most perfectly baked cookie EVER. Yes, it takes longer, but it is well worth it! I highly recommend that you try it.
     
  2. i had great success with this recipe. I read people's comments that the dough was too dry - the key is that you need to whip the butter and sugar with an electric mixer as it says in the first paragraph - otherwise you will not get a creamy texture. my dough soft enough that i was even able to add 1 cup of chopped pecans, refrigerate the dough overnight, and it was still pliable. the recipe i'm reviewing on food.com is the exact recipe that appears in their cookbook "The Neiman Marcus Cookbook" 2003.
     
  3. I did not have success with this recipe as others did. My cookie dough came out very crumbly- I had to squish the dough in my hand to get it to ball together, and then I did bake it as another reviewer suggested, at 300 for 20 minutes. They were just too dry and crumbly. I wonder if I did something wrong, although I am sure I measured correctly. Oh well. I will definitely use that baking method again- I've always wondered if a cookie would come out better that way, and I think they do, even with my dry crumbly ones.
     
  4. Yum! This one is a keeper! I made 30 cookies out of my mix, baking for 7 mins.
     
  5. This cookie was very good.Sometimes you want something with a little more kick than just a chocolate chip cookie and this cookie does that. I only had salted butter, so I used that. I also used 2 eggs because the dough was too dry with only 1. Additionally, I went with the previous suggestion to bake the cookies at 300 for 20 minutes. That was brilliant! I will NEVER bake another cookie at 375 again! I have tried other Neiman Marcus cookie recipes that were a lot different, but this was a first for this version. Great cookie!
