These are sinfully rich and always a hit at potlucks. The person I got the recipe from said they are called Neiman Marcus bars because the ingredients are expensive (I think she was talking about the 2 cups of pecans).

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cookies will taste. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal oven temperature for baking cookies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and may burn. If you bake them at a lower temperature, they will take longer to bake and may not cook through.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

Neiman Marcus cookies are a delicious and classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little care and attention to detail, you can easily make these cookies at home. Just follow the tips above and you'll be sure to impress your friends and family with your baking skills.
