The Great Cookie Challenge

We spent Labor Day pitting two tried and true chocolate chip cookie recipes against each other: Neiman Marcus vs. New York Times. The winner? Well, who loses when you have two batches of chocolate chip cookies? But Donald and I both preferred Neiman Marcus, hands down. With oatmeal, pecans, and chopped Hershey bars, it is the new recipe to beat. Ironically Patrick and Madeline loved making the cookies but deemed the final product in both cases TOO SWEET. This is somewhat suspect coming from two individuals who would cheerfully wash down a bag of gummy bears with a can of Sprite.
