Michelle Obama wins cookie contest

Sorry, Ann Romney. But the cookie has crumbled in favor of the first lady.
Michelle Obama has won Family Circles 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.
Romneys M&M cookies got 48.5 percent of votes, while Obamas white and dark chocolate chip cookies won with 51.5 percent.
Family Circle notes that the bake-off, which its hosted since 1992, has been a bell-weather in four out of five elections.

CANCELED ALL MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS AND THE HARDEST TO GIVE UP WAS MARTHA STEWART, LIVING...but I did...

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.
Now fat ass Michelle will eat all the cookies..everyone run Cookie Monster is coming to eat your cookies!! But the rest of us have to have Vegetables and soy products because Michelle is a giant hypocrite
I’d bet a LOT that Anne Romney has actually MADE these cookies, probably many times. Michelle? Highly, highly doubtful ...
Bell weather? Rings of global warming.
A bell wether now - that’s an entirely different critter...

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

Ann Romneys 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&Ms
* Note: For baking, I like to use peanut butter brands that have nothing but peanuts (no added salt, oil, sugar, etc.) because its 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 itll be tough, but you can do it. Add in M&Ms 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.
Giggidy. Now my mind wants to have a drink and I think I’ll join it.
did the wookie borrow the recipe from fauxahauntus?
In a related story Kim Jong Un Made 18 holes-n-one on his first ever Golf outing.
Back to you Chet...
He had the news staff executed since everyone knows there’s eighteen holes in golf.
Just don’t try to serve them in a school cafeteria.
