So, at 3:26 a.m., Sen. Barack Obama named Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate. Clearly the Democrats timed their announcement to appeal to blue-collar insomniacs, all-night gamers hopped up on Red Bull and Amish farmers.
Turns out Sen. Biden has a paper trail. That trail includes a culinary history.
Seems he committed in late 2007 to contributing to a Yankee magazine article highlighting the favorite recipes of presidential candidates. His Oatmeal Raisin Cookies were judged by culinary students at Southern New Hampshire University to determine, along with an online poll, the winner of the Yankee Magazine Cookie Primary. The winner? Bill Richardson’s Biscochitos.
So here, for your consideration, is your new Democratic vice presidential cookies:
SEN. BIDEN’S FAVORITE OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
1 cup shortening or butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup raisins
nuts (optional)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, soda, cinnamon and salt together. Beat together the shortenings and sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add flour mixture, oats and raisins and mix well.
Use portion scoop and drop onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes (should be golden brown in color).
