2 tsp. baking powder

3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)

Preparation

Nieman Marcus Cookie Recipe

It doesn’t matter where this recipe came from-it makes some damn good cookies!

Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet..Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees.

My adjustments:

* Cut the white sugar by 25%

* No nuts (because my friend wanted macadamia or nothing and I didn't have any macadamia)

* Didn't have a Hershey bar but had half a tin of cinnamon/chili dark chocolate from Trader Joe's. Cut it up with a knife and tossed it into the batter.

* In the past, I have put some ground coffee into the batter as well (but not this time)
