The following story about this recipe, though "cute", is NOT TRUE!! It is included here only because it has become "folklore" for this recipe.
A friend once had lunch at Neiman-Marcus in Dallas, and for dessert she had a cookie. She thought it was the most wonderful cookie she had ever tasted and asked if the recipe was available. She was told it was, but there was a charge of two-fifty. She said that was fine. She got the recipe and told them to charge it to her account.
The following month, when she received her bill, there was a charge for $250.00, She called Neiman's and told them it was a mistake -- the charge should be $2.50. She was told there was NO mistake -- that the charge for the recipe was correct. They told her it was not a returnable item and she would have to pay the amount charged or become delinquent. The bottom line is ... she paid.
She vowed to get back at Neiman's and wants to give the recipe out to everyone she possibly can. She asks that everyone who gets a copy to send it to everyone they know. So, here it is!
