I love the Neiman Marcus recipe and it has become one of our favorites. I have a little different approach to the chocolate bar. I prefer dark chocolate and I use my four sided grater to shred the chocolate bar. The chocolate integrates well into the dough. Then as a bonus I add the chocolate chips. The original recipe was called Neiman Marcus and purported to have been released by one who bought the original recipe via charge card from the company. When she got the bill they had charged an amazingly high price. Her revenge was to post it online free to all comers. One of those urban myths perhaps but a good story and an excellent cookie.
