Ingredients

For the Batter

1 pound Unsalted Butter Provides richness and moisture; salted butter can be substituted, but reduce additional salt in the recipe.
2 cups Granulated Sugar Adds essential sweetness and a delightful texture.
2 cups Light Brown Sugar Enhances sweetness and contributes to the cookies' chewy nature.
4 large Eggs Binds the ingredients and ensures moisture; crucial for the puffiness of cookies.
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Imparts a deep, delicious flavor; using pure vanilla will yield the best results.
4 cups All-Purpose Flour Forms the structure of the cookie; for accuracy, weigh it or use the spoon-and-level method for measuring.
2 teaspoons Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent, helping the cookies puff up beautifully.
2 teaspoons Baking Soda Aids in browning and gives texture to the cookies.
1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt Balances the sweetness; reduce this amount if using salted butter.

For Added Texture

5 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats Introduces a hearty texture; avoid quick oats as they won’t provide the same result.
24 ounces Bittersweet Chocolate Chips Brings rich sweetness; semi-sweet can be used if preferred.
8 ounces Hershey’s Chocolate Bars Adds varying chocolate flavors and delightful texture.
3 cups Chopped Walnuts/Pecans Introduces a delicious crunch; can be omitted if there are nut allergies.

Instructions

How to Make the Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F and position the racks in the center. This ensures even baking for those delightful cookies!
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy—about 3 minutes will do the trick.
Combine Wet Ingredients: Gently add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, blending until all is beautifully combined and creamy.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt to distribute the leavening agents evenly.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Your dough should start to appear very thick—this is a good sign!
Add Oats and Chocolates: Stir in the old-fashioned rolled oats, bittersweet chocolate chips, chocolate bar chunks, and chopped nuts until everything is distributed evenly throughout the dough.
Form Cookies: Scoop the dough into golf ball-sized mounds and place them on ungreased baking sheets, leaving about two inches between each cookie.
Bake: Pop them in the oven for 8-9 minutes, until the tops are golden brown while keeping the insides soft—yum!
Cool: Once baked, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool slightly before indulging in their warm goodness.

Notes

For best results, weigh your ingredients and chill the dough before baking. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
