Love you all for being so helpful and loyal, hopefully the new site will accomodate our ability to share our ideas with you more easily.

This Neiman Marcus $250 Cookie recipe is quite popular, and for good reason of course.  I think it tops pretty much every other chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever tried.  When roaming the internet for this recipe I found a copy posted by Naomi over at Bakers Royale.  She dubbed this cookie recipe as her #1... above the Neiman Marcus cookie if you can believe it.  If you get to try it before I do let me know how it goes.  I have a hard time imagining a better cookie than Neiman's.  What is your favorite cookie recipe?  Maybe I'm in the dark and I don't even know it.
