Michelle Obama wins cookie contest
By CAITLIN MCDEVITT | 10/1/12 4:58 PM EDT
Sorry, Ann Romney. But the cookie has crumbled in favor of the first lady.
Michelle Obama has won Family Circle’s 2012 Presidential Cookie Bake-Off, the magazine reports in its November issue.
Obama and Romney both submitted recipes to the contest, and – after more than 9,000 people weighed in – “just 287 votes separated the two women, our smallest margin ever,” Family Circle says.
Romney’s M&M cookies got 48.5 percent of votes, while Obama’s white and dark chocolate chip cookies won with 51.5 percent.
Family Circle notes that the bake-off, which it’s hosted since 1992, “has been a bell-weather in four out of five elections.”

You might be on to something. Has the Wookie ever baked a cookie?
Mama Kaye’s White and Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 stick Crisco butter-flavored solid vegetable shortening
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup each white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips (or Andes mint pieces)
2 cups chopped walnuts
Directions
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream butter, vegetable shortening, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract.
2. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, beat in flour mixture. By hand, stir in white and milk chocolate chips, mint chips and walnuts.
3. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Michelle didn’t bake those cookies! Somebody else did that. There are a lot of good cookie bakers out there!
LOL!
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban... ahhhhhhhh.
Is this the cookie baking that Gov. Clinton’s wife objected to?
Evidently Michelle Obama is the Alpha and the Omega. Whoda thunk it?!
“a person or thing that shows the existence or direction of a trend”
So they are saying whomever wins the cookie contest
so goes the election
Cindy MCCain won in 2004 although she was accused of cheating.
What a joke
“Her recipe or a WH chef’s recipe?”
EXACTLY, anyone can submit a winning recipe.. it’s another thing to actually make them..
She could have submitted a recipe for Spam cookies and still would have “won”.
Which Chef made it or her.
This is a joke, right? Black and white cookies indeed.
If I’m not mistaken, I heard a few years ago that the Saudis owned a large portion of either Family Circle or Good Housekeeping.
Gotta find out, but, I remember reading it.
I cancelled ALL magazines years ago. I do not pay money for trash. I wonder what the demographics are for the subscribers to these MSM magazines? I even cancelled the Reader’s Digest which was given to us as a GIFT.
That’s terrific, is she going to feed them to all the homeless her beard created?
Bed wetter?! sounds like biden.
