COOKIES FOR A FRIEND…Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies
Elisabeth Foley
I saw these cookies at Brown Eyed Baker a few days ago, & my first thought was how lovely and comforting they looked. Said to be the famed Neiman Marcus cookies, off a recipe that has been making the rounds via e-mail for ages, they have rave reviews. The difference in these cookies is the way the oats are added. They are ground into an oat flour and give the cookie a lovely texture, more wholesome than the plain flour chocolate chips cookies, yet lighter than regular oat cookies.
I think these cookies bridge the gap perfectly, & I had to make some for Jamie when she asked me if I could do a guest post for her beautiful blog! I was honoured that she thought of me. Please stop by at Jamie’s Life’s A Feast for the rest of the post…
While you are here, I’ll ask you to please consider voting for 2 special friends for two ongoing contests…
1. For Jamie‘s blog Lifes A Feast for Blogger Choice Awards 2009 HERE for Best Food Blog where she shares her favorite recipes; stories of her life through food.
2. For Helene‘s Gingerbread Cake at the Bread Contest at Phamfatale.
♥ Thank you ♥

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

These look wonderfully thick and chewy, Deeba, just the way I like them. I'm just not a big fan of those ultra-thin CCC. These are perfect. The oat flour sounds like a great enhancement to the cookie's texture. Will have to try these.

YUM!
There are so many fabulous entries in that Pham Fatale Bread Contest, but I think Helen's definitely stands out!

This is a great cookie and I make them several times a year. I also got the recipe in an e-mail, back in the day before the internet as we know it. 🙂 Oops! Dated myself again! 🙂

Hi there – I am a foodie and have been following your blog for almost a year now and love your presentation and food. I have recently entered into food blogosphere but am still trying to catch up on getting pictures and recipes right (ruchisimplyfood.blogspot.com).
I was wondering if you could tell me where you get baking supplies (everything from mascarpone cheeze, unsalted butter to nozzles for icing) from in Delhi or Gurgaon since I am new in this area.
Thanks a ton!!!!

Oatmeal cookies are my favourites, I have never thought to grind the oats though.
They look beautiful, your photos are spectacular!
