This chocolate chip cookie recipe is famous for being an urban legend. It made the rounds in the '80s and '90s as a chain letter, then circulated on the internet as well. The story goes, a woman was eating at a Neiman Marcus cafe, and asked for the cookie recipe. The server said it'd be "two-fifty," and when she got her bill, she saw it was $250. Therefore, it's also called the $250 Cookie recipe.
