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.
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!
"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 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!
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 ;)
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.
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.
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 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
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!
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 🍪!
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.
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!
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 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 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!
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 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 😉
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.
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.
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... ;-)
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.
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!
I think this is quite a flour-y recipe so you dont need to chill :-) chilling is vital for high fat-to-flour ratio recipes though like the tasty or bon appetit browned butter cookie recipes

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.
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!
Man... Your family members are the cutest.
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 nannie and your mom, they’re treasures 💕
I love his grandma’s deep voice, she sounds like the lady that you’d love to have a beer with lol.

I love Vaughn's Mom. Great episode.
Omg. When Mom got tagged in for the assist, I fully swooned. I strive to be that good of a momma to my littles.
Vaughn is just beautiful chaos
Seriously 😆
Just love him
Adorable guy! 😃
I love your grandma 💕 what a cutie!
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 ;)
Id pay $250 if Vaughn bakes them for me in my kitchen.
Lol!!
I bet lots of people would, I I would! ❤
oh my goodness.. Grandma is just TOO CUTE !! I hope you hug her EVERY chance you get !
A tip on grating those Hershey’s bars. Use the grate setting plate that comes with your food processor. 😁
Wont they melt?
Oh my gosh: it’s a Dior-style Celine Dion tee-shirt! Yaaaasssssss!!!
I want it. Where do i get one tho
His family are such sweethearts!!
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.
Love ur mother and grandma
I love seeing you and your family ❤
Granny is just precious
lol, loved this! Vaughn is just too sweet and his family is adorable and I love how he included his friends awesome
the way Vaughn can shake his southern accent is impressive
grandma melted my heart!
This video just straight up brought me JOY. Literally love NYT Cooking videos so so sooooo much. And cookies. I love cookies.
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.
loved seeing your grandma!!

Oh my gosh this is so wholesome
This put a big smile on my face.
I’ve always wondered why he left his previous studio.
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
Wonderful recipe produced by a
Fabulous and Entertaining
young man! He and his family are so nice!
More Vaughn please!!! 😃♥️🎉🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🍀
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!
Omg I just showed my mom this video and she pulled out the recipe too! Exactly like the one that is linked but doubled
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
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.
Omg, more videos with your family. Love that!!!
Vaughn is honestly my favorite
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.
Beautiful!
At 1:16, the recipe lists "4 cups flower", I assume organic flowers are preferred...😁💐🌹🌷🌺🌸🏵️🌻
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!
Oh wow just made these!! Yummmmm

Vaughn!! Your appearance is always changing!!
Gonna make these sometime this week!

This is the kind of content the world needs right now.
This was an amazing video!!! More like this please!!
Used food processor for oats then nuts then refrigerated choc
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.
~Wholesome~
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
They look good
Mmm, I made these years ago when the email first circulated in the '90s and they were delicious!
I froze the Hershey bar and it made it easier to grated
This is my favorite cookie recipe! I'm making it today. 😊❤️
We need more of Vaughn
Vaughn
Vaughn
More Vaughn please.
I had completely forgotten about these. My mom used to make them in the 90s. I might need to make some....
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... ;-)
vaughn! the most endearing.
Discovered this video just in time for #thirstythursday. Ooof! Vaughn, you are A-dorable.
Oh, Vaughn on white tank top 😍
I still have a scar on my thumb from a chocolate grating mishap from the last time I made these cookies (in 2007)!
I love this video ❤ your so adorable
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.
I love this video.
HE IS LOVELY
It's so crazy to see former Buzzfeed employees on NYTimes!
4:50 how my life is going right now
Aw, I think we have all been there. Feel better :)
More Vaughn please
Ya, Please Please never cook in my kitchen. I am surprised his mom is not screaming in the background. Vaughn, you are adorable though.
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!
this was hella entertaining to watch
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 used my ninja chopper for grating both oatmeal and Hershey's bar, really helped!
Omg I have the same recipe (with the story and everything) in an old cookbook that I own 😂 always loved that
I forget that this is a NYT channel 🤣
How did you not eat any of the batter???
happy birthday season
he's quite the cutie.
I love your mums accent!
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!
Did anyone chill the dough before baking? Off to the kitchen to try it!
I think this is quite a flour-y recipe so you dont need to chill :-) chilling is vital for high fat-to-flour ratio recipes though like the tasty or bon appetit browned butter cookie recipes
Ohhhhhnooooo now that’s a spill, but he took it in stride well! P.S. Absolutely adorable family 💚
I just now made a batch of Neiman Marcus cookies
