Patriotic Spirit
By Suzi | November 2, 2008
Not only is Halloween a time of year to nibble on different types of goodies…try tasting cookies enjoyed by our U.S. Presidents.
I came across an article in the Lowcountry’s Post and Courier written by Lisa Gutierrez the other day about various presidential cookie recipes including “The White House Cook Book of 1887″ and personal recipes from presidents and first ladies.
“Cookies and the occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue go way back. All the way to 1801, when the first occupants of the newly built president’s palace, John and Abigail Adams, introduced the mansion to the public at a New year’s Day reception, serving cakes and tarts - and cookies. The lowly cookie, in fact, is very much a staple at the White House.”
The Family Circle magazine keeps track of predicting the top recipe for White House cookies based on whose wife has the most popular ingredients. Pick up the magazine this month to see who is the patriotic cookie winner!
Enjoy - and go vote!
