Mrs. Fields Cookies
by Tony van Roon
"First the real story as it has been circulating via the Internet since 1981:"

A cookie connoisseur inquired about obtaining the recipe for Mrs. Fields Cookies and was told by a sales clerk at a Mrs. Fields store that the recipe was available for $25.00. The clerk gave her a phone number to order the recipe.
When she called the number, she was told that the recipe was available to the public. When asked how she wanted to pay for the recipe, she indicated by credit card and gave her credit card number to the person taking the order.
The recipe arrived, so did the credit card receipt indicating that she had paid $250.00 for this precious recipe. After contacting her attorney, she was told that the deal was legal and she had to pay $250.00, and not $25.00.
Her revenge is giving this recipe to everyone she possible can. The recipe has been tried and it is difficult to tell the difference between home bakes with this recipe and Mrs. Fields store bought cookies.
