You he ave to be careful and not bake these cookies too long. They need to be still rather soft when you remove them from the oven and just slightly browned around the edges. Sometimes we use half butterscotch ships and half dark chocolate chips for the 2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips. i also like pecans rather than walnuts. my culinary students have been making them for at least 28 years......

This was an excellent recipe. I made one small addition, which was I added a half cup more of milk chocolate. The cookies were great the day after as well. This recipe is added into my personal recipe book.

Recently I have made my share of cookies, and though they were all good, this is by far the BEST! The crispiness from the grated oatmeal, the heavenly chocolate with every bite, and the chopped walnuts, make this the perfect cookie for me! I did add 1/2 tsp of ground saigon cinnamon (enhances chocolate for me), and 2 tbs of ground flax seed. I have made this recipe twice in 2 days. On today's batch, I used Hershey's special dark chocolate chips, and Ghiradelli bitter sweet bar I grated in food processor. This is now my go to for cookies, and I will be making these for Christmas presents this year =). Hope these work out for you, happy baking =)

These are the best chocolate chip cookies I have made. I get rave reviews when I do. This is the closest recipe to Neiman Marcus's famous choclate chip cookie recipe. I had the original recipe from the nephew of the woman who got the original recipe from NM. I lost my copy several years ago. Funny that I got the recipe when I made cookies for work and the gentleman tells me that he makes these famous cookies and proceeds to tell me the story of the Urban Legend. I can tell you that this the closest recipe, if it is not. I do remember the instant espresso and the ground oats. These were the key ingredients. The only thing that may differ is the amounts. Thank you for posting the recipe as I have been searching for this for the longest time and this is the first I have seen of this recipe.

Wonderful! I used unsweetened cocoa powder instead of the 4 oz of milk chocolate, and added some apple sauce for added moisture. Everyone raved about them!
