From the Family Circle
"Presidential Cookie Bake-Off" - the candidates' spouses were asked for recipes for this cookie contest. Bill credited his recipe to the family cook, Michelle to the girls' godmother. And Cindy?
Originally for special occasions only, these butterscotch-chip-studded cookies are
now "an absolute must" whenever the whole family gets together, says Cindy.
The recipe came from a good friend. --------------------------------------------------------
