This is the recipe circulated in the well-known urban legend. We won't perpetuate the myth here, but the recipe really is great.

1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups blended oatmeal (blend in a blender to a fine powder)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
12 oz. chocolate chips
4 oz. hershey bar (grated)
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add chocolate chips, hershey bar, and nuts. Roll into balls, and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 or 11 minutes.

I've made this recipe over and over through the years and it's always a hit. Yes, you have to know that cookies always bake a little bit after they get out of the oven so BE SURE not to overbake. I find 6-10 minutes is plenty of time to cook if you want chewy good cookies. Makes LOTS of cookies for holiday parties. This is one of my staple cookie recipes - would never go back to regular toll house! five stars

I have made this cookie many times and my fiance says it is the best cookie he has ever had. I didnt realize that there were so many other people that have tried this "fake neiman marcus cookie recipe" as I call it. I just tried it one time and this year cuz I am low on money that is what everyone is getting for Christmas. Cookie Baskets. five stars
