It’s that time of the year again ! Bringing back this good cookie story and recipe. Enjoy 😉 My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas, and we decided to have a small dessert.

They would not refund my money because, according to them, "What the waitress

told you is not our problem. You have already seen the recipe. We absolutely

will not refund your money at this point." I explained to the Accounting Department lady

the criminal statutes which govern fraud in the state of Texas. I threatened to report them

to the Better Business Bureau and the Texas Attorney General’s office for engaging in
