    FROM THE NEIMAN MARCUS WEBSITE
    An urban myth is a modern folk tale, its origins unknown, its believability enhanced simply by the frequency with which it is repeated. Our signature chocolate chip cookieis the subject of one such myth. If you haven't heard the story, we won't perpetuate it here. If you have, the recipe below should serve to refute it. Copy it, print it out, pass it along to friends and family. It's a terrific recipe. And it's absolutely free.
    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
    1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds) 2. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds. 3. 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. 4. 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

    My Photo
    Name:
    Location: Tulsa, OK, United States

    I am a wife, (soon-to-be) Mom, but a child of God first & foremost. I spend most of my time with my husband or in the blogosphere. I like to read blog stories of families who are growing through adoption, especially international adoption, especially from Ethiopia, or elsewhere in Africa. I love to go to the movies or just sit on the couch with my handsome husband & watch one at home. Dale & I especially love movies that make us think, that are redemptive, & will spark conversation; we love talking! I can watch movies over & over & still enjoy them like the first time. I LOVE to capture our family’s memories on camera & scrapbook it! We will do anything & go anywhere to see a good concert; We love to travel. We have been to 12 states together already. We went to Columbus to see Genesis & San Francisco to see the DM*B (& to get engaged). We spent our honeymoon in the mountains in Arizona. Dale loves Presidential history, while I love studying about the World Wars & stories of those affected by it. I love to organize everything; however, keeping it kept up is still a challenge! I don’t like scary movies & I am afraid of clowns, gutters, & spiders (ask, I’ll surely explain).
