Election Cookies?

There’s only a few hours left to enter the 1000 Fans Giveaway. A fun Halloween bag filled with goodies is up for grab! Don’t miss out!

Now, for the recipe today. I don’t know if you have heard, but it’s an election year. I got this recipe from a friend way back in 2000. She said it came from a Woman’s magazine. Each election year they have a cookie bake-off between the two wives of the Republican and Democrat nominees. At that time 5 out of the 6 winners went on to have their husband win the Presidential election as well. Laura Bush beat Tipper Gore’s recipe of Gingersnaps in a landslide victory. Whether you are Republican or a Democrat I know you will love these cookies.

Here are a few reasons I love this recipe. First it makes a bunch of cookies. Second, you can freeze the dough (I make dough balls first) and they last for months in the freezer. Then when your kids come home or if you need a late night snack. You can pop them in the oven frozen and bake – you’d never know they had been previously frozen. I usually have a bag in my freezer at all times. I have made some changes to the original recipe so here is my version and here is a link to the original recipe. I hope you enjoy!
