Well since we're starting off this recipe blog with desserts, I thought I might throw in one of my coveted recipes that I received from a patent lawyer during a lecture on patents in school. The story goes that these cookies were sold by the Nieman Marcus company (hope I spelled that right) at a cost of $13 a pound. A lady was curious as to why they cost so much and bought some, tried them and loved them. She found the recipe on line, made them, and sure enough was just the same. The big company found out tried to sue the lady and the person that posted the recipe. The defending attorney did some research and found out that the recipe wasn't patented so the whole thing never went to court. So the following is the recipe:
2 cups butter (not fattening at all!)
2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract
4 cups flour
5 cups ground oats (measure five cups first, then grind)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 bags of Guittard chocolate chips (silver & blue bag)
1 oz grated Hershey chocolate bar
Cream butter and sugars.
Add eggs, vanilla, and almond extract.
Mix with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
Add chocolates chips and grated chocolate.
Roll into good size balls, place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 for about 10-15 minutes.
Makes about 85-90
ENJOY
