Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier cookie texture, let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can substitute half of the butter with applesauce for a lighter option. If you don't have blended oatmeal, quick oats can be processed in a blender to achieve a similar texture. Consider using dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These Neiman-Marcus Cookies pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee. Serve them alongside Mini Individual Cheese Cakes for a delightful dessert platter. For a fun twist, consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of a warm cookie for an indulgent treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. To reheat, warm in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to restore softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, margarine can be used as a substitute for butter, but it may slightly alter the flavor and texture of the cookies. For best results, choose a stick margarine that contains at least 80% fat.
How do I make these cookies gluten-free?
To make Neiman-Marcus Cookies gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that all other ingredients, including baking powder and baking soda, are also gluten-free.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the cookie dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can scoop the dough into balls and freeze them, then bake directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
