Our church is having an event tomorrow, and I have to bring 3 dozen cookies. My husband immediately suggested Neiman Marcus cookes - with no hopes of getting extras for himself, I'm sure. When having lunch at Neimans last year I ordered the cookies for my dessert, and it came with the recipe. I made them tonight and WOW. They really are good. If you need a chocolate chip cookie recipe, try this one!
Neiman Marcus Cookies
Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder
1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds).
Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.
Using a 1-ounce scoop or a 2-tablespoon measure, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2 inch circle. Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.
Yield: 2 dozen cookies

I make these all the time -- they are SERIOUSLY addictive! (And generally I'm not a big fan of cookies OR chocolate...) The one tweak I make to them is topping with coarse sea salt before baking, which, in my opinion, makes them at least 3x better. :)
