Sumina... now I FINALLY know about the recipe!! Hahaha... my brother got me this 500 cookie recipe book and one of the recipes is for the $250 Neiman Marcus cookie and all I thought was, this lady is nuts for paying this much for a recipe but it must be good if it made it in this book. So, I tried and it was ok. It calls for coffee grounds in the cookie and personally, I like my chocolate chip cookies sans coffee :-P The 2nd time I made it without the grounds... and I dunno... I'm questioning why on earth the Marcus people thought that recipe was worth so much?! Unless I didn't make it right of course ;)I'd be more than happy to pass on the recipe if anyone wants :)

Assalamu Alaikum fellow googly-eyed members...I came across this e-mail sent to me about a woman who was screwed over by Neiman Marcus and had to pay $250 for their cookie recipe.
It all came about when she ordered one of their cookies and found it so tasty that she asked the waitress if she can get the recipe. The waitress replied she could have the recipe for "two-fifty". And so the woman took it thinking it's "2 dollars and 50 cents. Month later she received a statement from NM and, much to her shock, stating that she owed them $250 for the "Cookie Recipe". She phoned them to sort out the mistake and they refused to budge. She asked for a refund which was also refused because she had already seen the recipe. She found it was futile fighting with the Goliath and so she decided to get even another way. She said she would forward the NM cookie recipe to cookie lovers all over the country and continent and the world and NM would never make a cent off the sale of their cookies.
Wow, kudos to the woman for coming up with an ingenious idea!
Till next time...

COOKIE MONSTER
SEARCHES DEEP WITHIN
HIMSELF AND ASKS: IS ME
REALLY MONSTER?
BY ANDY F. BRYAN
- - - -
Me know. Me have problem.
Me love cookies. Me tend to get out of control when me see cookies. Me know it not natural to react so strongly to cookies, but me have weakness. Me know me do wrong. Me know it isn't normal. Me see disapproving looks. Me see stares. Me hurt inside.
When me get back to apartment, after cookie binge, me can't stand looking in mirror?fur matted with chocolate-chip smears and infested with crumbs. Me try but me never able to wash all of them out. Me don't think me is monster. Me just furry blue person who love cookies
too much. Me no ask for it. Me just born that way.
Me was thinking and me just don't get it. Why is me a monster? No one else called monster on Sesame Street. Well, no one who isn't really monster. Two-Headed Monster have two heads, so he real monster. Herry
Monster strong and look angry, so he probably real monster, too. But is me really monster?
Me thinks me have serious problem. Me thinks me addicted. But since when it acceptable to call addict monster? It affliction. It disease. It burden. But does it make me monster?
How can they be so callous? Me know there something wrong with me, but who in Sesame Street doesn't suffer from mental disease or psychological disorder? They don't call the vampire with math fetish monster, and me pretty sure he undead and drinks blood. No one calls
Grover monster, despite frequent delusional episodes and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. And the obnoxious red Grover?oh, what his name??Elmo! Yes, Elmo live all day in imaginary world and no one
call him monster. No, they think he cute. And Big Bird! Don't get me started on Big Bird! He unnaturally gigantic talking canary! How is that not monster? Snuffleupagus not supposed to exist?woolly mammoths
extinct. His very existence monstrous. Me least like monster. Me maybe have unhealthy obsession, but me no monster.
No. Me wrong. Me too hard on self. Me no have unhealthy obsession. Me love cookies, but it no hurt anyone. Me just enthusiast. Everyone has something they like most, something they get excited about. Why not me? Me perfectly normal. Me like cookies. So what? Cookies delicious. Cookies do not make one monster. Everyone loves cookies.
Me no monster. Me OK guy. Me OK guy who eat cookies.
Who me kidding? Me know me never actually eat cookies. Me only crumble cookies in mouth, but me no swallow. Me can't swallow. Me no have no esophagus. Me no have no trachea. Me only have black fabric throat. Me not supposed to be able to even talk.
Me no eat cookies.
Me destroy cookies.
Me crush cookies.
Me mutilate cookies.
Me make it so no one get cookies.
Everyone right. Me really is cookie monster.
