Ron Paul, I got your recipe right here!

Those of you who have troubles with the slicing variety of "homemade" cookies are not alone. Apparently, Republican presidential hopeful and closeted Libertarian Ron Paul had issues with spacing and made a giant cookie. Mary Ann Akers of the Washington Post exposed his failure as baker in her Sleuth column today.

To help Rep. Paul out in successful satisfying his sweet tooth, here's my favorite recipe for choolate chip cookies:

1 lb Butter; softened
2 c Brown sugar
1 1/2 c Granulated sugar
3 lg Eggs; room temp
2 tb Vanilla
1 1/2 ts Salt
1 1/2 ts Baking soda
6 c All-purpose flour
24 oz Chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the butter and sugars together in a large bowl. Add the eggs and the vanilla and beat thoroughly. In a separate bowl, sift together the salt, soda and flour. Mix the flour mixture into the liquid mixture one third at a time, to form the dough. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dough. Drop the cookie dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets by the
tablespoon full. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 10 to 12 minutes. BAKE NO MORE THAN 12 MINUTES! Do not brown or cookies will dry out too much cause then get nasty....

On a completely unrelated note. Rep. Paul also thinks prostitution and marijuana should be legalized.

Hmm, sounds like somebody has the munchies.
