Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips/Neiman Marcus Cookies!


My wonderful friend Sue called me up and asked if I wanted some Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips 60% cacao because she got a really good deal on them and realized she couldn't use them all. She gave me two 3lb bags. Can I say THANK YOU enough? NO! I decided for my first baking moment with them that I would make Neiman Marcus Cookies. My kids thought it was really cool to "blend" up the oatmeal to flour. I think they were quite tasty! I even shared with a couple of people!
