I've been looking forward to making this video all year.

In case you haven't heard, Family Circle magazine just released cookies recipes from three of the Presidential candidate's spouses: Michelle Obama, Cindy McCain and Bill Clinton. Since last week, of couse, Hillary's dropped out of the race. So this past weekend, I baked both Michelle Obama's shortbread cookies and Cindy McCain's oatmeal butterstotch cookies. What a fun way it was to spend my Saturday morning!

On Sunday, I took a whole tray of the cookies to the beach and got my friends and family to test taste them in a blind experiment (it was very scientific)  to see which cookie they liked better. Much to my surprise, Michelle's shortbread cookie took the day. I was partial to the oatmeal butterstotch.

What makes this topic even more interesting is that since Family Circle magazine instituted this political bake-off with the 1992 Presidential race, the winner of the cookie recipe has accurately predicted which candidate would win the general election. I find this amazing! I mean, is it coincidence??

Anyway, it's a really fun video and I hope you enjoy. I'm providing the link to it just below. In case you want the recipes for these cookies yourselves, be sure to check out the official contest page (you can even submit votes) atwww.familycircle.com/cookievote
