11. I agree. And, I'll bet my house that most, if not all of the recipes are "plagiarized."

Not only does every presidential spouse not bake, even the ones that do are not pastry chefs, and therefore, aren't going to make up their own recipes. The odds are, ALL of them are using a recipe that someone else came up with. I don't buy for a minute that Laura Bush came up with her "cowboy cookies" recipe all on her own.

That being said, here is the recipe that was entered under Bill's name in "Family Circle" some years back. It's plain oatmeal cookie recipe, no chocolate chips, although there is no reason one can't add them:

I made this recipe once. The cookies are actually quite good. I think the liklihood that Bill has actually made them at some point in his life is greater than the likelihood that Melanoma Trump or Anne Romney ever made the recipes they submitted.
