i want to try something new.
thank you so much!
For those that cook and those that need help with cooking...
When decent people get screwed over, this is the result!
A little background: Neiman-Marcus, if you don't know already, is
a very expensive store; I.e., they sell your 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 afra id
not, but you can buy The Recipe.' Well, I asked how much , and
she responded, ' Only two fifty - it's a Great deal!' I agreed to that,
and told her to just 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 t o the Accounting
Department lady the criminal statutes whic h govern 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 b other thinking of how you
can get even, and don't bother trying to get any of 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 for this, and I don't want Neiman-Marcus to EVER make
ano ther penny off of this recipe!

Use the recipe on the chocolate chip bag (I know, you don't want to do that!!!) and then add white chocolate chips, coconut, raisins, walnuts, and oatmeal. You have to adjust the quantities so they're not like hockey pucks, but play with it. I did, and they are excellent!!!!! I took them to a party and called them "garbage cookies" because they had so much stuff in them. They were a HUGE hit! I would suggest figuring the amount of chips in the bag and then downsize that amount so you can add the other stuff to come up with the number of oz. on the chip bag. Confusing? Nah, not really. Like I said, just play with it. They are killers, believe me!
