Mister Alexander's Air Cookies





Ingredients:





2 egg whites


3/4 cup granulated sugar


陆 cup mini chocolate chips





Baking Instructions:





Preheat oven to 350 degrees


Whip the egg whites until very stiff and peaks form......very important


Gradually add the 3/4 cups of sugar


Stir (by hand) in the 陆 cup mini chocolate chips





I use two cookie sheets, lined with aluminum.......put dollop-sized drops (tablespoon or smaller) on cookies sheets until all is used (50-70 drops).........these can be within 1/8'; of each other, doesn't matter........cookies don't move, they just crystalize......on these, try to have little peaks and wavy stuff.......if they were stiff enough, they will hold their shape........





Now, the fun part.........quickly put the two cookie sheets in the oven, close the door, and shut off the heat.........I love to do this with the little cousins who spend the night with me, cause they have to wait till morning to see the results (I've also called these magic cookies, cause they bake with the heat turned off)........they get very intrigued by this.......





These are bite-sized pieces, best popped into the mouth........if you make them a bit large on the 1st try, you can bite a piece off, but watch for crumbs, as they are very delicate and crumble very easily.......

Is the story true? Neiman Marcus denies that it is:





My daughter %26amp; I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus


Cafe in Dallas %26amp; decided to have a small dessert.


Because both of us are such cookie lovers, we decided to


try the ';Neiman-Marcus Cookie';. It was so excellent that I


asked if they would give me the recipe and the waitress said


with a small frown, ';I鈥檓 afraid not.'; Well, I said, would you


let me buy the recipe?


With a cute smile, she said, ';Yes.'; I asked how much, and she


responded, ';two fifty, it鈥檚 a great deal!'; I said with approval,


just add it to my tab.





Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement from Neiman-Marcus


and it was $285.00. I looked again and I remembered I had only


spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf.


As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, ';Cookie Recipe


-$250.00.'; That鈥檚 outrageous!! I called Neiman鈥檚 Accounting Dept.


and told them the waitress said it was ';two-fifty,'; which clearly


does not mean ';two hundred and fifty dollars'; by any *POSSIBLE*


interpretation of the phrase.





Nieman-Marcus refused to budge.


They would not refund my money, because according


to them, ';What the waitress told you is not our problem.


You have already seen the recipe - we absolutely will not refund


your money at this point.'; I explained to her the criminal statutes


which govern fraud in Texas, I threatened to refer them to the


Better Business Bureau and the State鈥檚 Attorney General for


engaging in fraud.





I was basically told, ';Do what you want, we don鈥檛 give a crap,


and we鈥檙e not refunding your money.';


I waited, thinking of how I could get even, or even try and get any


of my money back. I just said, ';Okay, you folks got my $250, and now


I鈥檓 going to have $250.00 worth of fun.'; I told her that I was going


to see to it that every cookie lover in the United States with an


e-mail account has a $250.00 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus


...for free. She replied, ';I wish you wouldn鈥檛 do this.';


I said, ';Well, you should have thought of that before you ripped me


off, and slammed down the phone on her.





So, here it is!!! Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you


can possibly think of. I paid $250 dollars for this... I don鈥檛 want


Nieman-Marcus to *ever* get another penny off of this recipe....

Chocolate Macadamia Peanut Butter Chip Cookies





2 cups all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon salt


1 teaspoon baking soda


1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter-slightly softened


3/4 cup granulated sugar


2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


3 large eggs


3 (3-ounce) bars bittersweet chocolate, cut into 1/4 inch chunks


1 cup (6 ounces) peanut butter chips


1 cup unsalted macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped*





*Note-if you can only find salted nuts, place them in a sieve and rinse them in running water. Dry the nuts thoroughly with absorbent paper towels








Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Have ready 2 ungreased baking sheets. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment beat the butter at medium high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add the granulated and light brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. At low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, mixing just until blended. Add the bittersweet chocolate, peanut butter chips and macadamia nuts and mix just until blended.


Drop the dough by scant 1/4 cup measures onto the baking sheets, spacing them 3 inches apart. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until light brown on the edges. Transfer to wire racks and cool completely
