Stick It To the Man Cookie Fan

Have you heard the story about this recipe? I just got it in my in-box for the second time. Apparently a lady bought two cookies at a Neiman-Marcus cafe and loved them so much she asked for the recipe. They told her she could buy it for two fifty - thinking that was a reasonable price she did. Then saw on her statement that she was charged $250. They refused to refund her so she wants to make sure everyone who loves cookies has access to it for free. Stick it to the man - I guess!

NEIMAN-MARCUS COOKIES

2 cups butter
24 oz. chocolate chips
4 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
1 8 oz. Hershey Bar (grated)
5 cups blended oatmeal
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)

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.
