My OperaNeiman-Marcus Cookies

A couple of days ago, I was exchanging some tweets with two friends (at least, I consider them friends, now! XD) and we got to the subject of Cookies. Then, one of them (@adrianaoliveira) asked me if I knew that old story of the famous (maybe not so famous...) Neiman-Marcus Cookie. Well, I said no, and then she offered me the link to the story.
(Watch out! Spoilers!) In a nutshell, it is about a lady who was eating at a Neiman-Marcus Café, in Dallas, and had a wonderful cookie. Asking if she could get the recipe, the waiter answered “two fifty”. So, she decided to buy it. It was actually amazing US$250,00, and not US$2,50. So, as a pacific revenge, the lady decided to spread the recipe to every cookie lover that could ever get interested in.
After getting to know the story and checking the recipe, I thought it was well worth the shot, so me and another friend (@pratofundo) would try o bake it, to check what the results were.
Today, I decided to give my shot. I must say, it was one of the very first (almost) perfect mise en place I had ever done! (^.^ I’m proud!)
Well, the recipe is pretty straight-forward, just as my basic chocolate chip cookie recipe. It only demands more ingredients.
