Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
These Neiman Marcus Cookies aren’t your ordinary chocolate chip recipe! Buttery, loaded with pecans and two types of chocolate, and baked with ground oats for a unique texture, they’re famous for good reason.
Servings: 50 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups old fashioned oatmeal
- 4 ounces milk chocolate bar, 1/2 Hershey bar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and both sugars together until well blended, about 2-3 minutes. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined.
- In a blender or food processor, pulse the oatmeal with the chocolate bar several times to make smaller crumbs. You do not want "FINE" crumbs here, just several pulses, making sure both the oatmeal and the chocolate are broken down slightly.
- Add the oatmeal with chocolate, flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder to the butter mixture. Mix by hand just until combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
- Drop cookies using a heaping 1 Tablespoon cookie scoop onto the prepared cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- Pulsing the oatmeal is a key to making these cookies have a delicious chewy texture without overwhelming them with oatmeal flavor.
- Store cookies in airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Freeze cookies in freezer safe, airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight on counter.
