The best Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe in existence!

Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie:

1/2 c. unsalted butter (softened)

1 c. packed brown sugar

3 Tb. white sugar

1 egg

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. instant espresso coffee powder

1 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

-Preheat oven to 375*

-Grease a cookie sheet

-In a medium bowl, combine butter and sugars until smooth

-Beat in egg & vanilla

-Sift together flour, soda, powder, salt & espresso powder

-Add flour mixture to the creamed mixture

-Stir in the chocolate chips

-Bake on cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes in pre-heated oven

-For crispier cookies, bake for a few minutes longer

-Cool on a wire rack

I did not have espresso powder, so I left it out.

These are the best chocolate chip cookies ever!

They are best fresh out of the oven or dunked in a glass of milk. They are crispy when cooled. For cookies that stay softer, substitute 2 Tb of the butter for 2 Tb of margarine

Enjoy!
