Interesting Note About Recipe: A friend of a friend had lunch at The Hedges at Neiman's and for dessert had a cookie. She thought the cookie was wonderful and the best she had ever tasted. She asked if the recipe was available. She was told that it was but there was a charge of two fifty. She said that was fine and told them to charge it to her account.

The next month when she received the bill, there was a charge for $250.00. She called and told them there was a mistake...that the charge should be $2.50. She was told that there was NO mistake and the charge was correct.

She vowed to get them back and wants to get the recipe out to everyone she possibly can. She asks that everyone who gets a copy, send it to everyone they know.
