SydLexia.com - Hillary Clinton's Cookies

This is the actual recipe for chocolate chip cookies that Hillary Clinton gave out during her husband's 1992 presidential campaign. This helped Bill clinch the coveted housewife vote. When Hillary's not busy eating the souls of babies or planning her own presidential run, she's baking. If you're a girl and you refuse to bake, then you're a bigger bitch than Mrs. Clinton. Is that really what you want out of life?
