‘Holly’s Spaghetti Sauce.” “Julie’s Salmon Canapés.” Over the years, I’ve amassed a file of handwritten recipes titled after various friends who first served me various delicious things. But when I was thumbing through the file recently and came upon a card on which I’d copied down a recipe with the heading “Hillary’s Cookies,” I was puzzled. I couldn’t remember ever having had a friend or colleague with that name. Hillary who?
Then suddenly it came back to me: Hillary Rodham Clinton, that’s who.

So, what's the recipe? I'd forgotten about these, and it's a nice time of the year to make a batch!
Yeah, what is the recipe?
Google "hillary clinton cookie recipe"
Great piece. Why is Hilary's original response still considered a gaffe; dialogue that changes the conversation is just the kind of courage we need in our society.
"As Clinton completes her term as secretary of state, following her years in the US Senate, she has overseen America’s foreign relations during a time of global financial crisis, conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the Arab Spring uprisings. It is safe to say that no one would dream of asking her today for a cookie recipe — any more than we would dream of asking Joe Biden or Colin Powell." ... And, Joan, of course while writing this PUFF PIECE, you wouldn't DREAM of asking Hillary what she knew about the attack on Benghazi, Libya (which killed 4 Americans and the Ambassador) and when she knew it. And why Hillary went on national TV to blame the attack on a VIDEO. And why she told a grieving Charles Woods, father of slain Navy Seal Tyrone Woods, "We will arrest and prosecute the man who made this film". When Hillary testifies before Congress she can tell them about her cookies.

You completely missed the point of the column, Miker6!
Excellent points, Joan.
