250$ Cookies

There's a little story behind these cookies, I'm guessing some of you have heard it. So, this lady eats dinner at Neman Marcus and after the meal she and her friend have one of their famous cookies. She loves it and asks the waiter if there's any chance she could get the recipe. He says- why yes there is, but you'll have to pay for it. She asks how much and he answers: two-fifty. She believes him to mean Two dollars and fifty cents. But when she gets her visa bill the next month she see's that in fact it was $250. Then she posted it all over the internet for pay backs.


They really are quite yum-oish. :)

Our FAVORITE Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 c Butter, softened

1/2 c sugar (I use 1 box of vanilla instant pudding instead. It makes the cookies softer!)

1 1/2 c Brown Sugar

2 Eggs

2 1/2 tsp. Vanilla

3 c Flour

3/4 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 tsp. Baking Powder

1 bag Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350*. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugars (pudding), eggs and vanilla. Sift together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Combine the wet and the dry ingredients. Mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Place balls of cookies on un-greased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 3 dozen.

**We smoosh the balls down - that is my kids' favorite part. :)
