Hillary Clinton Chocolate Chip Cookies.........Priceless



I have never heard of her cooking but a friend of a friend of a friend..(almost) gave me this recipe when she was in the White House. They told me the White House chef had given it in a book or some magazine. A few years ago I saw it published in a local cookbook under the same name Hillary Clinton Cookies...same recipe. ...
By the way they are pretty good........

I'm going to her rally tomorrow the 25th! I am excited. She looks so very tired here.

Chef Roland Mesnier was her chef and I studied under Chef Mark where he taught Chef Mesnier's pastry course. So memorable.

I saw the recipe but I never use shortening in my Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Hi there

I just came accross your blog thanks to stumbleupon and I am loving the food pics that you have, they are all so bright and full of colour. I started off as a blogger myself a year ago and loved talking to other food bloggers around the world so much that I wanted to find a way of more people sharing photos and meeting other foodies. I used to get annoyed that I would be making so many great recipe videos and food photos and hardly anybody would see them! That is when I came up with www.ifoods.tv which is a new site for foodies all around the world to share food photos, recipes and videos as well as meeting other foodies. We are only starting off and are currently a small community but I would love to see you there sharing some of your amazing photos with other foodies! Keep up the good work on the blog and hope to talk soon.

Cheers!
