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.”

“Michelle Obama wins cookie contest”

Is this similar to one of those hot dog eating contests? I assume Ann Romney had one or two cookies; and Michelle... I guess we don't want to go there.

Obama’s white and dark chocolate chip cookies

In honor of her mother in law. She calls them chocolate filled Stanleys.

I’d bet a LOT that Anne Romney has actually MADE these cookies, probably many times. Michelle? Highly, highly doubtful ...

Of course she did. The editors at Family Circle like to keep their knees in one piece.

All I know is, if Mickey got in the ring with the CM, she'd be history.

Ann Romney’s M&M Cookies

(makes about 3 dozen cookies)

Ingredients:

1   C   granulated sugar

1   C   packed light brown sugar

½   C   unsalted butter (1 stick), softened

1½   C   crunchy peanut butter*

1   T   light corn syrup

3   eggs

½   t   vanilla extract

4½   C   old-fashioned rolled oats

2   t   baking soda

6   oz.   chocolate chips

2/3   C   regular M&M’s

* Note: For baking, I like to use peanut butter brands that have nothing but peanuts (no added salt, oil, sugar, etc.) because it’s easier to judge the sugar and salt content. If you do the same, just remember to add a pinch of salt to the dry mix! I usually remember, but forgot on my second batch and it really is amazing what a little salt can do for flavor…and how forgetting it can make them lackluster. 

Procedure:

1) Preheat oven to 325°F. Cream sugars, butter, peanut butter, and corn syrup in a large bowl on high speed until creamy. Beat in one egg at a time at low speed until just combined. Beat in vanilla extract.

2) In a separate large bowl mix together oats and baking soda (and salt if using unsalted PB!). Slowly stir into peanut butter mixture and keep working it until well combined – it’ll be tough, but you can do it. Add in M&M’s and chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed.

3) Scoop dough onto parchment paper-lined cookie sheets one heaping Tablespoon at a time. Gently press heaps into flat disks with the back of a spoon or your fingertips (if using fingertips you may want to dip them in a bit of water beforehand to prevent sticking) and bake until the entire cookie is a light golden brown – a few minutes more than you would traditional chocolate chip cookies, about 15 minutes. Let cool a few minutes on the sheets before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Excellent warm with vanilla ice cream or cool as a breakfast bar.

He had the news staff executed since everyone knows there’s eighteen holes in golf.

Furthermore, in a thread the other day on the obligatory parking lot shooting following the Black Entertainment (rap) awards I posted this: Chimp Riverdance and the thread went into the memory hole. Who doesn't like riverdancing chimps? See how happy they are?
