This was sent to me yesterday as a true story, but
someone I forwarded it to replied that it was an urban
legend, and the 'real' Neiman Marcus cookie recipe,
which they included, was different. Given the recently
expressed list desire for chocolate chip cookies, I

1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2-1/4 cup flour
2 cups chocolate chips
Blend butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla. Add eggs. Add baking soda
and salt. Add flour, 3/4 cup at a time, mixing well each time. Add
chocolate chips
