                Not to throw warm milk on an otherwise neat story...

                But I've heard the "recipe" story several other times... 
                Mostly with a Neiman-Marcus recipe, other times with the
                cookies comming from Abercromby & Fitch...

                I think this is an "Urban Legend"... A yummy one
none-the-less.
