Description
The Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe: Decadent chocolate, oats, and ground espresso create irresistibly chewy treats perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ cups rolled oats, processed into fine flour (250g)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar (200g)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (340g)
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bar, grated (113g)
- 1½ cups chopped walnuts or pecans (170g) – optional
Instructions
- Step 1: Begin by preparing the oat flour. Place 2½ cups of rolled oats in a food processor and pulse until finely ground into a flour-like consistency, about 45 seconds. Measure out exactly 2 cups of the oat flour for the recipe. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Don’t rush this step—proper creaming creates air pockets that give **The Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe** its perfect texture. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Step 3: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined. The dough will be relatively thick. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, grated chocolate, and nuts (if using) by hand using a rubber spatula. This ensures even distribution without overmixing the dough.
- Step 4: Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, though overnight chilling will develop deeper flavors in your **Neiman Marcus cookies**. This resting period allows the oats to hydrate and the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Step 5: When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. For bakery-style cookies, use a larger scoop (about 3 tablespoons) and increase baking time accordingly.
- Step 6: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underdone. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. This ensures the **Neiman Marcus cookies** achieve their signature texture—crisp edges with soft, chewy centers.
