has been the winning theme for the past four elections but this time around the Obama and McCain camps wanted to shake things up.
Michelle Obama went with the classic shortbread cookie adding a little kick with some almond liqueur Amaretto.
She gave credit to Mama Kaye who serves as the godmother to her girls, Sasha and Malia.
Cindy McCain who already has had to deal with a bit of recipe plagiarism for a passion fruit mousse from Food Network aimed to please with her take on the oatmeal butterscotch cookie.
They are "an absolute must whenever the whole family gets together," says the multi-millionaire heiress to a large beer distribution firm, married to Republican presidential hopeful John McCain
As it stands right now McCain is in the lead. Readers can vote their favorite cookie up at the magazine's
website. The results will run right before the election in the mid-October.
Had Hillary Clinton remained in the race her two time winning cookie may have tipped the scale. She has a chocolate chip cookie that is to die for. Bill though put in his recipe for oatmeal cookies that showcases the talent of long time cook, Oscar Flores.
