>>> This is a true story. Pass it on!!!
>>> My daughter & I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Cafe in
>>> Dallas & decided to have a small dessert. Because both of us are such
>>> cookie lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus Cookie". It was so
>>> excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe and the
>>> waitress said with a small frown, "I'm afraid not." Well, I said,
>>> would you let me buy the recipe? With a cute smile, she said, "Yes."
>>> I asked how much, and she responded, "Only two fifty, it's a great
>>> deal!" I said with approval, just add it to my tab.
>>>
>>> Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement from Neiman-Marcus and
>>> it was $285.00. I looked again and I remembered I had only spent
>>> $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at
>>> the bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe - $250.00."
>>> That's outrageous!! I called Neiman's Accounting Dept. and told them
>>> the waitress said it was "two-fifty," which clearly does not mean "two
>>> hundred and fifty dollars" by any *POSSIBLE* interpretation of the
>>> phrase. Nieman-Marcus refused to budge. They would not refund my
>>> money, because according to them, "What the waitress told you is not
>>> our problem. You have already seen the recipe - we absolutely will
>>> not refund your money at this point." I explained to her the criminal
>>> statutes which govern fraud in Texas, I threatened to refer them to
>>> the Better Business Bureau and the State's Attorney General for
>>> engaging in fraud. I was basically told, "Do what you want, we don't
>>> give a crap, and we're not refunding your money." I waited, thinking
>>> of how I could get even, or even try and get any of my money back. I
>>> just said, "Okay, you folks got my $250, and now I'm going to have
>>> $250.00 worth of fun." I told her that I was going to see to it that
>>> every cookie lover in the United States with an e-mail account has a
>>> $250.00 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus... for free. She replied, "I
>>> wish you wouldn't do this." I said, "Well, you should have thought of
>>> that before you ripped me off, and slammed down the phone on her.
>>>
>>> So, here it is!!! Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you
>>> can possibly think of. I paid $250 dollars for this... I don't want
>>> Nieman-Marcus to *ever* get another penny off of this recipe....
>>> (Recipe may be halved.):
>>>
>>> $250 DOLLAR COOKIE RECIPE:
>>>
>>> 2 cups butter
>>> 4 cups flour
>>> 2 tsp. soda
>>> 2 cups sugar
>>> 5 cups blended oatmeal **
>>> 24 oz. chocolate chips
>>> 2 cups brown sugar
>>> 1 tsp. salt
>>> 1 8 oz. Hershey Bar (grated)
>>> 4 eggs
>>> 2 tsp. baking powder
>>> 3 cups chopped nuts (your choice) 2 tsp. vanilla
>>>
>>> ** Measure oatmeal and blend in a blender to a fine powder.
>>> Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together
>>> with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate
>>> chips, Hershey Bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches
>>> apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes
>>> 112 cookies.
