Cooking - Neiman Marcus Cookies

Remember back a long time ago (Christmas) when I was talking about the Neiman Marcus cookies that Lockstep loves so much?  The recipe I've been using has been one that was in my Inbox as FlipperMb2 from like 1998.  A couple of weeks ago I was searching for cookie recipes and stumbled upon the NM cookie recipe online!   Here's the link in case you want to try them sometime.  I'd definitely recommend splitting the recipe in half.  I made the entire thing for taking to the Hensarling Christmas last year and it was entirely too many cookies.  When I was mixing up the cookies I didn't have the whole recipe - I just had the ingredients.  I should have recognized that it made a billion cookies, but I didn't.  This recipe link says that the whole recipe makes like 100 cookies.  Believe it.
