as a direct response to Hillary's comment that she doesn't like to stay home and bake cookies. Some people couldn't handle it so they challenged her to submit recipes. During the 90's she even had a commercial line of "Hillary Rodham Clinton's President's Choice chocolate chip cookies" sold in stores.

On a related note, Princeton educated attorney Michelle Obama's cookies beat stay at home mom Ann Romney's in 2012.

Inquisitive people approach these types of challenges in different ways. I'll admit I didn't know how to use my oven until I got roped into a Christmas cookie exchange and I decided to research recipes and best practices online.
