Ever hear the story about a woman who had a Neiman Marcus cookie and then asked for the recipe? She got the recipe, but had to pay $250 for it. Neiman Marcus said that the story is baloney and published their real recipe for FREE. This is why there's 2 versions. So goes the legend. I have the two versions of the recipe. I like the one with the blended oatmeal ($250 version)better. Besides, the story that went with it is better!
