Short version of
the story
behind the original cookie
recipe....
Supposedly, someone asked
Neiman Marcus / Mrs. Fields "how much" for the
recipe for their chocolate chip cookies, and the
answer was "two fifity." They thought two dollars
and fifty cents was a good deal for the cookie
recipe so charged it to their credit
card.
When they received the
statement it read two hundred fifty dollars! When
they tried to get a refund for the mistake, Neiman
Marcus / Mrs. Fields held their ground and refused
a refund.
So out of spite the buyer
decided to share the recipe with the world for
free.....
