In 1992, Family Circle Magazine invited wives of presidential candidates to take part in its first-ever cookie cook off. That year, this recipe beat out-then First Lady Barbara Bush’s oat-less chocolatechip cookies. Hillary Clinton’s recipe also won the bake-off in 1996 when it bested Elizabeth Dole’s pecan-roll cookies.
Below is the recipe for Hillary Clinton’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Enjoy with a tall glass of milk this President’s Weekend!
