The source for the famous $250 Neiman Marcus cookie recipe that's been floating around on the internet for ages.
I've pretty much always assumed the story is fabricated, but these are damn good cookies.
I hope this helps:

Now I want all the recipes mentioned in this article. The Fudge Cake especially sounds delicious, I wonder if I could track it down…
Yeah, I've always assumed it was nonsense, but it's kind of a fun myth (and mostly harmless), so when I found this image on my HDD, thought I'd post it...
Absolutely agree. By no means should it not be spread. Harmless, and seriously the cookies are super good.
You assumed it is fabricated. But after reading this post, are you beginning to realize it is true?
Quite the contrary, actually.
Even in 1994 on Windows 3.11, this was ridiculous.
This reminds me of the old chain letters that said you have to snail mail it to 10 people or someone would die, or you would lose your job, house, etc.
Oatmeal blended into a powder sounds interesting. I've added some oatmeal to chocolate chip cookies before for some flavor and chew. Not sure about putting it in the blender. Also 112 cookies? I thought those were large quantities but damn.
My grandfather's been making these annually for christmas since the 60s. They usually put the extras on sheet pans and freeze them until they're ready to bake them.
I love me some hewlett packard brand emails! I heard those emails slap. But I am about to make these cookies...
A Chain Letter with COOKIES? This I gotta try!
