These were wonderful. They were soft and chewy, while the edges had a light crunch. They held their shape and didn't flatten out. I can't stand a dry, cakey cookie, so my husband and I were appy with this recipe. And there isn't much to the recipe...very simple when you're in a cookie crunch.

I used instant coffee too and it worked fine, you just have to grind the granules through the seive when sifting and they turn into powder. Yummy!

I've never had this problem with chocolate chip cookies before, but the batter just wouldn't hold together. Once baked, the cookies were crumbly. This could be user error and my family still enjoyed them, but I wasn't thrilled.

This is a WONDERFUL recipe, and makes a great "base" cookie dough. The coffee gives it a more "adult" taste, so sometimes I omit it if they are being made for kids. Mine come out with a wonderful crakle-top, crisp on the outside and dense and chewy on the inside! I use a mixture of 1/2 choc chips and 1/2 chopped toffee (like skor or heath bars) and they are just Out of this World! The toffee chips add a lot to the flavor, giving it a deeper buttery flavor and enhancing the brown sugar in this recipe. Just great!

These are the best cookies ever. If you bake them at the 8 minutes they are chewy. They have a great balance of flavor.

I didn't try this recipe because I got the original email for the neiman marcus 250 cookie and this isn't it. I just wanted to share it with everyone and that mean putting in a rating. Anyhow, here it is: follow directions for this existing recipe you have here but only use these ingredients. makes 112 cookies bec. this is the ORIGINAL neiman marcus recipe from that email I got way back in 1996. Enjoy! 2 cups butter 4 cups flour 2 tsp baking soda 2 cups white sugar 5 cups blended oatmeal(measure 5 cups then put that in the blender) 4 cups chocolate chips or 24 oz. 2 cups brown sugar 1 tsp salt 8 oz hershey bar grated(I hate grating this bar but I always do for this cookie) 4 eggs 2 tsp baking powder 3 cups chopped nuts(your choice) 2 tsp vanilla I make the whole big batch and then roll the whole dough into balls and just bake the amout of cookies I want to bake, the rest of the balls I leave in the freezer for another day.

Very good cookies. The coffe gave it sort of a butterscotch taste. You can bake tese just according to taste, a bit longer gives a crunchy cookie, shorter gives a chewy one. both good. I did bake at 300F for about 25-30 minutes tho.

THE REAL Neiman Marcus cooke recipe can only be found IF you got that e-mail a long time ago. The closest recipe found has a name "Urban Legend Chocolate Chip Cookie" as Neiman Marcus denounces this "legend". The measurements are different, but over all the same ingredients. They were drier then normal, so I added an egg-3 total- **&** Use Hershey's chocolate when grading. NO coffee is in the real Urban Legend. (*EWw)

This is a great tasting cookie! When cooled they were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I only omitted the espresso powder (didn't have any)and added 3/4 cup of chopped pecans and was still very happy with the results. Of all the chocolate chip cookie recipes I've tried these came out the most attractive. With other recipes (Tollhouse for ex.) I've baked, my cookies always spread out flat on the cookie sheet probably due to flawed proportions of the basic ingredients (flour, butter, sugars). Also I followed the advice of another reviewer and turned down my oven. I baked these at 325 degrees.

Delicious! My husband insisted I give this recipe 5 stars - which I'm completely in agreement with. I omitted the espresso, however, for my own taste and used chopped chocolate instead of chips which aren't so easy to find in Denmark. Thank you!

They turned out harder and crisper than I expected, and they weren't over-cooked at all. I've been trying to find the 'perfect' chocolate chip cookie recipe, and this was not it.
