One of my buddies sent this to me over the internet. I thought it meritied posting.

A little background:

Neiman-Marcus, if you don't know already, is a very
expensive store, i.e., they sell a typical $8.00 T-shirt for $50.00. Let's
let them have it.

THIS IS A TRUE STORY!!!!

My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a
Neiman-Marcus Cafe in
Dallas, and we decided to have a small dessert.
Because both of us are such
cookie lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus
cookie".
It was so excellent that I asked if they
would give
me the recipe, and the
waitress said with a small frown, "I'm afraid not,
but you can buy the
recipe." "Well, ideal!" I agreed to that, and told
her just to add it to my
tab. Thirty days later, I received my VISA
statement, and the Neiman-Marcus
charge was $285.00!

I looked again, and I remembered I had only spent
$9.95 for two salads, and
about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the bottom
of the statement it
said, "Cookie Recipe - $250.! 00".

That was outrageous! I called Neiman's Accounting
Department and told them
the waitress said it was "two fifty", which clearly
does not mean "two
hundred and fifty dollars" by any reasonable
interpretation of the phrase.
Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. They would not
refund my money because,
according to them, "What the waitress told you is
not our problem. You have
already seen the recipe. We absolutely will not
refund your money at this
point." I explained to the Accounting Department
lady the criminal statues
which go! vern fraud in the state of
Texas. I threatened to report them to the Better
Business Bureau and the
Texas Attorney General's office for engaging in
fraud. I was basically told,
"Do what you want. Don't bother thinking of how you
can get even, and don't
bother trying to get your money back." I just said,
"Okay, you folks got my
$250, and now I'm
going to have $250 worth of fun." I told her that I
was going to see to it
that every cookie lover in the United States with an
e-mail account has a
$250 cookie recipe from Neiman! -Marcus....for free.
She replied, "I wish you
wouldn't do this." I said, "Well, perhaps you
should have thought of that
before you ripped
me off!" and slammed down the phone. So here it is.
Please, please, please
pass it on to everyone you can possibly think of. I
paid $250 U.S. for this
and I don't want Neiman-Marcus to EVER make another
penny off this recipe!


NEIMAN-MARCUS COOKIES (Recipe may be halved)

2 cups butter
24 oz. chocolate chips
4 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp. soda

Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender to a fine powder.
Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla,
mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder,
and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey Bar, and nuts.
Roll into balls, and place two inches apart on a cookie
sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies.

PLEASE READ THE RECIPE AND SEND IT TO EVERY PERSON
YOU KNOW WHO HAS AN
E-MAIL ADDRESS!

Have fun!!! This is not a joke-it's a true story.
Ride free, citizens!

You know, I'm actually tempted to try this too.


The rest of you, lay off him. He hasn't done anything wrong. Even if this story is bull, if the cookies work, and they taste good, then no problem... I'll have a new cookie recipe because of him.


Though I can't pinpoint exactly, but I feel something is wrong with this recipe. Something doesn't look right....hmmm :unsure:



Kiss the cook.

urban ledgends) to view our site and is now going to shut it down. Oooh boy.

I didn&#39;t need to click the link to know the story was bogus. I had researched it myself a few months ago. Apparently that store never made cookies, or if they did, they said they would have given them away. Furthermore, I remember being linked to their web page, and there was a link about it, and all they said was if you didn&#39;t know the story, they weren&#39;t going to support it by telling you, but if you did know it, it&#39;s a total lie. Hmm, suspect...

What I wanna know is, has anyone actually made the cookies? Are they good? Or is it bogus?

unfortunately you are highly mistaken. I live in TX and I read about this in the paper. It was a big thing when it happened a few years ago. I for one am grateful this was posted. And to all the flamers: if you don&#39;t like it, just keep your trap shut. Your hate and anger is doing nothing by being posted. Didn&#39;t your mommy ever tell you the "if you don&#39;t have something nice to say" speech?
