Hello! Vaughn here. I've been curious about the legendary $250 cookie recipe (allegedly from Neiman Marcus) for a while, and now seemed as good a time as any to dig into its history and bake the cookies for myself. And then send the recipe to a bunch of friends. Cookie! Connection!

About NYT Cooking:
All the food that’s fit to eat (yes, it’s an official New York Times production).

When I was a kid, no kidding, 50 years ago, my mom had a recipe taped to the refrigerator labeled, "Waldorf Astoria Red Velvet Cake" exactly same story line, except the chef charged the lady $1000 and she swore she would have it printed in every newspaper in the country. Hard to keep a good rumor down.
The real question is do you still have the recipe?
I aspire to be like Chris Morocco in the kitchen, but Vaughn with his random remarks at the end of each step, is more like how I actually end up.
Man... Your family members are the cutest.
This sure brings back some memories!!!
My dad got that recipe on an email like 10 years ago and we've been baking them once a year ever since. Honestly the best choco-oatmeal cookie I've ever had!
well done! great story i hope it tasted as great as the memorie is?! ;) #staysafe!
I've been watching and enjoying NYT Cooking for a long time and this is by far the best story telling episode. Well done and thank you!
I love his grandma’s deep voice, she sounds like the lady that you’d love to have a beer with lol.
Vaughn is just beautiful chaos
Seriously 😆
Just love him
Adorable guy! 😃
I love Vaughn's Mom. Great episode.
"We don't need 112 cookies in this house, Mom."
"Oh, speak for yourself. We absolutely need them."
This story has been around the internet. The version I heard was about Famous Amos cookies. Also used oats. Same "revenge-sharing". I tried the recipe. Not even came close to Famous Amos.
P.S. Please feature more of Mrs. Vreeland. She's fabulous, dahrling.
My friend and I found this recipe in 1988/89... Hey Lana if you're out there, remember this? We cooked the ENTIRE HUGE BATCH (twice what you made) except it didn't say to grind up the oatmeal or have shaved choc in instructions. At one point hours into the baking I was throwing cookie dough balls to see if they'd stick on the walls, they did... The cookies were awesome, my friend took half "her" dough home to the freezer, I cooked them all and my dh took them to work.
This was KS in the country, I lived on a real farm with horses, chickens, 2 goatee girls and a big dog... it was a great time to be alive :) We thought the recipe was real and worth the $250, everyone that ate them thought they were worth it too...
Thanks for the memories...
I love nannie and your mom, they’re treasures 💕
I just went to my recipe box and found my printed copy of this story and the recipe. It’s dated 12/07/1996. It was the first time I had ever had email and I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. I have mad these several times over the years and they are amazing!
Omg. When Mom got tagged in for the assist, I fully swooned. I strive to be that good of a momma to my littles.
Oh my gosh: it’s a Dior-style Celine Dion tee-shirt! Yaaaasssssss!!!
I want it. Where do i get one tho
just in case anyone decides to make these, use a food processor to grind up oats, nuts and chocolate. makes this go a lot faster! i used to make these at a bakery i used to work at, tried and true method ;)
A tip on grating those Hershey’s bars. Use the grate setting plate that comes with your food processor. 😁
Wont they melt?
This video just straight up brought me JOY. Literally love NYT Cooking videos so so sooooo much. And cookies. I love cookies.
His family are such sweethearts!!
I love your grandma 💕 what a cutie!
loved seeing your grandma!!
the way Vaughn can shake his southern accent is impressive
oh my goodness.. Grandma is just TOO CUTE !! I hope you hug her EVERY chance you get !
Omg, more videos with your family. Love that!!!
Oh my gosh this is so wholesome
I remember getting this chain email and always thought of making them. This was a very wholesome video. Loved the end where he got everyone's opinions on them virtually
Oh wow just made these!! Yummmmm
Vaughn is honestly my favorite
Granny is just precious
This put a big smile on my face.
Beautiful!
I love seeing you and your family ❤
I've had this recipe for about 20 years...and they are delicious! I make them every Christmas and freeze some. My husband just loves them and he can't wait for me to make them again this year.
lol, loved this! Vaughn is just too sweet and his family is adorable and I love how he included his friends awesome
NYT Cooking ...
Vaughn is totally adorable and his video is fantastic, time for a promotion to on-camera talent.
I've made these cookies in the past and they really are delicious.
Pro-Tip freeze your chocolate bars before grating.
This was an amazing video!!! More like this please!!
On a little street in small town Waynesville NC, many years ago I used to bake a similar cookie every Sunday afternoon and the youth from our neighborhood church FUMC flocked (as in little sheep) to our house...to eat the cookies and watch X Files. Spiritual experience.
grandma melted my heart!
You are so cute! I'm going go try these cookies bc I've been baking so much since quarantine. This was the perfect video. Thank you for posting it.
Love ur mother and grandma
I’ve always wondered why he left his previous studio.
WHOLESOME
LOVE these cookies! They were my go-to Christmas gift for co-workers, neighbors, etc when I was a broke newlywed. My copy looked like Vaughn's mom's, except the (false) claim was that it was Mrs. Fields' recipe - I think it was faxed to our office :-) (in the dark ages before email and the internet). I used a hand mixer to cream butter & sugars, a wedding-present food processor to pulverize oats and grate the chocolate, and mixed the stiff dough with a wooden spoon, then my hands, after adding chocolate and nuts. Took me all night to make those suckers but everybody loved 'em. Great idea to bake with friends and connect.
I loved this video so much and most definitely subscribed. I actually searched for this recipe to make with my mom this mothers day. We used to make them when I was a kid. I was born in '96 and we live quite close to Dallas. I believe my mom shopped at Neiman Marcus regularly. I'm looking forward to asking her how she came across her recipe!
This was wonderful. I've had this cookie recipe in my files since it was first going around and have never used it. You've inspired me (except for the part where you drop the flour. I don't want to do that.) Keep baking!
Gonna make these sometime this week!
Love your grandma 👵
Omg I just showed my mom this video and she pulled out the recipe too! Exactly like the one that is linked but doubled
~Wholesome~
Discovered this video just in time for #thirstythursday. Ooof! Vaughn, you are A-dorable.
Wonderful recipe produced by a
Fabulous and Entertaining
young man! He and his family are so nice!
More Vaughn please!!! 😃♥️🎉🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🍀
This is my favorite cookie recipe! I'm making it today. 😊❤️
They look good
At 1:16, the recipe lists "4 cups flower", I assume organic flowers are preferred...😁💐🌹🌷🌺🌸🏵️🌻
I was like who is this guy recommendation, he looks familiar. When he said he is Vaughn, i was like oh that hot guy from Tasty. Omg he is getting hotter
I just pulled a Macaulay Culkin “Home Alone” reaction when you dropped the flour 🤭🤣 I know that after I bought Erin’s “Book on Pie” I became obsessed with baking, especially over the holidays TY for sharing the $250.00 cookie recipe 😉
I had completely forgotten about these. My mom used to make them in the 90s. I might need to make some....
Omg I have the same recipe (with the story and everything) in an old cookbook that I own 😂 always loved that
Aw, I had a Nanny, too! 💐💕👵🏻
the shot with the sprinkling of the nuts was a missed opportunity for tiktok gold, can't wait to try this recipe!
I love this video.
Id pay $250 if Vaughn bakes them for me in my kitchen.
Lol!!
I bet lots of people would, I I would! ❤
Vaughn!! Your appearance is always changing!!
I have the original recipe I printed out just like your mother’s and remember making it and sharing the cookies with family, neighbors co -workers and my husband’s a firefighter so I made another batch for his station(so they could take home cookies:) How about doing a video on the copy cat Mrs.Fields cookie recipe that was circulating.TFS
Op2misstyk That was the first thing that came to my mind! I’d love to see Mrs. Fields and Doubletree just released their chocolate chip recipe as well!!
I love this video ❤ your so adorable
More Vaughn please
Those 25 years are real. I found the recipe in an old thing called Fido. Must have been in 1995. Something before that world wide web... Baked it since then and I still love it... ;-)
Have that sheet of paper in my book. And converted it to grams... ;-)
Mmm, I made these years ago when the email first circulated in the '90s and they were delicious!
More Vaughn please.
Yay Nannie! ❤️
A little bit of parchment paper wrapping the base of the chocolate you grate goes a long way when grating chocolate by hand. Or one of those handmills. ❤️
And a wet towel or cloth under the bowl when you are stirring with one hand.
this was hella entertaining to watch
I remember when that story came out...ha ha! This was a great video...how lovely to share this with friends and family, even when you can't all be in the same physical space! Inspiring!
Not sure if this is this guy’s first video but he rules! Made me laugh so hard when he dropped the flour lol
Just found this section of NYT today. Vaughn's mom is da bomb! I love the way she talks. Is she from Dallas? I ask b/c it sounds like she got the recipe directly from Neiman's Zodiac Room in downtown Dallas.
I used my ninja chopper for grating both oatmeal and Hershey's bar, really helped!
I still have a scar on my thumb from a chocolate grating mishap from the last time I made these cookies (in 2007)!
Oh, Vaughn on white tank top 😍
I love your mums accent!
He was from tasty I don’t know why he left
Stephen Bernham I’d pick NYT over Tasty. NYT looks better in resume.
He left some 2 years ago
Used this cookie recipe for years.
One of the best I’ve ever made and it’s always a battle between this one and the bon appétit salted toffee one xoxo
The Rick Martinez cookie?!
@@maybememories925 yup!
I froze the Hershey bar and it made it easier to grated
My mom had that recipe! Those were my favorite cookies but she only made them for special events because she hated grating chocolate lol
I know the Recipe is older then that because I made them when I was 12 in Middle School back in 1993 in home economics class and my teacher was making them since at least 1988.
We need more of Vaughn
Vaughn
Vaughn
HE IS LOVELY
I have this recipe from when I was a girl - over 60 years ago - before urban myths, before email, before internet, even before credit cards! The note with my grandmother's recipe says that it is not a joke - that the woman received her Neiman-Marcus store statement in the mail with the charge for $250. Compare $250 then to what it would be today! That was an expensive lunch!
happy birthday season
Ya, Please Please never cook in my kitchen. I am surprised his mom is not screaming in the background. Vaughn, you are adorable though.
4:50 how my life is going right now
Aw, I think we have all been there. Feel better :)
How do you keep your cookie pans looking so nice?? Mine always end up looking charred as heck. What brand are they?
NYT Cooking only knows how to progress. From the Emmy-award-winning (no, not really) Minimalist vids with Bitty. To today's Alison Roman. Progression. Progression. Progression. And now, Vaughn. Thank you guys. Your work makes the world, and what comes out of my kitchen, that much better a place.
I’ve had a version that recipe since the 90s (no grated bar or nuts) and I only get 60ish because I make them huge.
he's quite the cutie.
This was really fun to watch! I discovered this recipe around the year 2000, not from the internet, but from a friend. She brought the cookies to work and I had to have the recipe. It was my go-to cookie recipe for years! My favorite twist was to leave out the nuts and swap the chocolate chips for M&Ms 🍪!
Can honestly say NYT Cooking videos are getting me through this quarantine
I forget that this is a NYT channel 🤣
Used food processor for oats then nuts then refrigerated choc
Ohhhhhnooooo now that’s a spill, but he took it in stride well! P.S. Absolutely adorable family 💚
How did you not eat any of the batter???
vaughn! the most endearing.
