URBAN LEGEND CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Urban Legend Chocolate Chip Cookies image

You may have heard this story...a woman asks to buy a cookie recipe and is told it will cost 'two-fifty.' She thinks this means $2.50, but then she gets her credit card bill back and finds out it is $250.00. Outraged, she spreads the recipe far and wide to try and get her money's worth. I first heard this story 6 years ago and was given a recipe on a sheet of paper which bore the date '1986.' The supposed originator of the recipe was a well-known cookie company. I have since heard this tale again several times, with the recipe originating from different upscale department stores. True story? Who knows, but it's a darn good cookie. Here's my version.

URBAN LEGEND CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Urban Legend Chocolate Chip Cookies image

This recipe circulated in an "urban legend" email about 5 years ago. As the legend went, a customer in a fancy restaurant asked for a cookie recipe and was charged $250 on their bill for it at the end of the meal. The legend turned out to be false, but these remain the BEST chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted, and certainly the best to ever come out of my kitchen! NOTE: Do NOT leave out the oats. Even if you don't necessarily like oats in your cookies, they will not bake right without them. Also make sure that the cookies are SMALL - roll them up into balls that are a bit smaller than a golf ball. They don't bake right if you make them too big. Recipe can be halved.
