Cindy McCain Stole Her Cookie Recipe Straight from the Hershey's Website!
Edited on Sun Jun-15-08 04:08 PM by Stephanie


Oops! She did it again!


From the Family Circle "Presidential Cookie Bake-Off" - the candidates' spouses were asked for recipes for this cookie contest. Bill credited his recipe to the family cook, Michelle to the girls' godmother. And Cindy?




Originally for special occasions only, these butterscotch-chip-studded cookies are
now "an absolute must" whenever the whole family gets together, says Cindy.
The recipe came from a good friend.

      This one is a DU scoop, you heard it here first, I found it myself.  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:34 PM   #77 
         I believe you Stephanie, just trying to figure out why  dogdayDU Moderator   Jun-15-08 04:36 PM   #78 
         Yes, if you see the posts below it looks like this is the THIRD time  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:37 PM   #80 
            Or in my neck of the woods we call it the turd time.... In Cindy's case, it fits....  dogdayDU Moderator   Jun-15-08 04:38 PM   #83 
         Maybe Michelle needs to be informed of this  dogdayDU Moderator   Jun-15-08 04:59 PM   #98

   Yes!  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 03:47 PM   #26 
   how many people actually create their own cookie recipes?  shugah   Jun-15-08 03:45 PM   #24 
   Then she shouldn't lie and say they're from her family or some such nonsense  DesertedRose   Jun-15-08 03:48 PM   #28 
   i think it's very possible that she did get the recipe from "a friend"  shugah   Jun-15-08 03:58 PM   #39 
   Nah, hers was not scribbled anywhere. Look at the way the amounts are formatted.  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 03:51 PM   #32 
   Also note that the directions are obviously reworded to hide the original source.  chascarrillo   Jun-15-08 03:55 PM   #36 
      And when you write out a recipe you don't include "all-purpose" flour or vanilla "extract"  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 03:57 PM   #37 
         good point  shugah   Jun-15-08 04:03 PM   #45 
         right? like would you really write out "granulated" sugar?  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:07 PM   #50 
            Yes you would.  pabsungenis   Jun-16-08 01:42 PM   #212

   The idea that any woman should have to prove herself with a cookie recipe  Merlot   Jun-15-08 04:00 PM   #40 
   But she has already been busted lying about recipes once.  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:02 PM   #42 
   ...is incredibly stupid, I agree. The idea that she would rather lie about it yet again than  Occam Bandage   Jun-15-08 04:03 PM   #44 
   Sorry you don't get it...it's a sign of her character.  zidzi   Jun-15-08 09:22 PM   #171 
   I couldn't agree more.  LiberalAndProud   Jun-16-08 12:00 AM   #185 
      Bill was also asked for his favorite cookie recipe  Stephanie   Jun-16-08 12:08 AM   #186

   I do.  pabsungenis   Jun-16-08 01:39 PM   #210

   Never did find that bush others beat around  havocmom   Jun-15-08 04:05 PM   #47 
   Snap! Nice one.  Occam Bandage   Jun-15-08 04:19 PM   #66 
   DUzy!  Tatiana   Jun-15-08 06:37 PM   #135 
      Nah, I just have an admitted low tolerance of desert rat floozies who go after married men  havocmom   Jun-15-08 09:07 PM   #165 
   Why would a person suffering from anorexia be obsessing.....  papapi   Jun-15-08 03:48 PM   #29 
   I've made these cookies myself  mentalsolstice   Jun-15-08 03:51 PM   #33 
   Somebody's getting fired...  Kristi1696   Jun-15-08 03:58 PM   #38 
      I also doubt Cindy has ever made cookies. She's Paris Hilton, not Betty Crocker.  Occam Bandage   Jun-15-08 04:13 PM   #59 
   And this is important why?  Beaverhausen   Jun-15-08 03:52 PM   #34 
   Get a sense of humor! Criminy you know how to spoil a good time.  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 03:55 PM   #35 
   Again, why is this important? is she a chef? Is Michelle Obama a chef?  Beaverhausen   Jun-15-08 04:07 PM   #52 
      No, Michele said she got hers from the girls' godmother,  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:11 PM   #55 
      how do you know her family friend didn't get it from Hersheys?  Beaverhausen   Jun-15-08 04:14 PM   #60 
         Because the repubs are trying their best to present Mrs. McCain as the perfect housewife  blogslut   Jun-15-08 04:31 PM   #74 
         Or at least not lie about a "family friend" who gave her the recipe  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:34 PM   #76 
         Not a stupid topic.. Cindy yet demonstrates how with the McCain's  dogdayDU Moderator   Jun-15-08 05:06 PM   #106 
         Then moveon ..nothing for you  zidzi   Jun-15-08 09:27 PM   #176 
      Because she's a shameless (and yet really obvious) liar and thief, and that's kinda funny.  Occam Bandage   Jun-15-08 04:12 PM   #56 
      yes why should I kick this thread again  grantcart   Jun-15-08 05:05 PM   #104 
         I am trying to send the tip to HuffPost but I get an error message  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 05:08 PM   #108 
   I'm with you on that  Merlot   Jun-15-08 04:02 PM   #43 
   Because it's funny. And because it's the second time they've done it.  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:05 PM   #48 
   What was important about George HW Bush not knowing what a supermarket scanner was?  chascarrillo   Jun-15-08 04:06 PM   #49 
   Because in today's media climate THIS is the sort of thing that can put a chink in McCain's  cryingshame   Jun-15-08 04:44 PM   #91 
   Well she must be a fabolous cook since....  whistler162   Jun-15-08 07:27 PM   #144 
   With all the crap they are throwing at Michelle Obama this is fair game  KingFlorez   Jun-15-08 08:10 PM   #155 
   Because it shows that she's not only a barefaced liar, she's an arrogant barefaced liar.  dicksteele   Jun-15-08 08:26 PM   #157 
   I agree wholeheartedly. Who cares?  NobleCynic   Jun-16-08 02:48 AM   #189 
   Unreal. I can't believe she got caught again.  Kristi1696   Jun-15-08 04:01 PM   #41 
   I doubt the cook made these. I think the intern was asked to dig up a recipe again.  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:04 PM   #46 
      Right. I'm honestly kinda surprised they bothered to change the "HERSHEY'S Butterscotch Chips."  Occam Bandage   Jun-15-08 04:09 PM   #53 
      True, but that may be dictated by the style guide for the publication.  chascarrillo   Jun-15-08 04:12 PM   #57 
         Clearly in an attempt to hide the source.  Stephanie   Jun-16-08 01:44 PM   #213 
   Cluwe me in here, is this the second or the third time Cindy's been caught  IWantAnyDem   Jun-15-08 04:07 PM   #51

   This is old news ...it was picked up over a month ago.  L0oniX   Jun-15-08 04:13 PM   #58 
   Are you, perhaps, thinking of Cindy McCain's other recipe thefts? I don't recall seeing this one.  Occam Bandage   Jun-15-08 04:16 PM   #63 
   No, that was a different recipe thing where she stole the recipe from Rachel Ray.  IWantAnyDem   Jun-15-08 04:16 PM   #64 
   And then there was the one where she stole one from Quaker.  Occam Bandage   Jun-15-08 04:18 PM   #65 
      Wow. This IS the third time!  chascarrillo   Jun-15-08 04:25 PM   #71 
         Hmm, does the "three strike" rule apply to cookie theft?  Kristi1696   Jun-15-08 04:30 PM   #73 
   Nope. These recipes were just announced this week by Family Circle. This is brand new.  chascarrillo   Jun-15-08 04:19 PM   #67 
   No, that was recipes from the McCain site posted as "family recipes" but copied from Food Network  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:22 PM   #69 
   Not the same recipes...  Lochloosa   Jun-15-08 04:21 PM   #68 
   Cindy says, "In a large bowl beat the butter or margarine, granulated sugar and brown sugar..."  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:25 PM   #72 
   Both recipes say use a large bowl.. How is that different?  dogdayDU Moderator   Jun-15-08 04:37 PM   #81 
      He forgot the sarcasm thingy  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:40 PM   #86 
         I tell you I am totally lost with the sarcasm thingy....  dogdayDU Moderator   Jun-15-08 05:01 PM   #99

   I don't care if she does or not but I do care that the campaign is so stupid to do this three times!  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 04:41 PM   #88

   She simply replaced her habit of stealing vicodin to stealing recipes  sniffa   Jun-15-08 05:02 PM   #101 
   you got it mixed up - stealing husband then vicodin then recipes  grantcart   Jun-15-08 05:06 PM   #105 
   To be fair, she's getting pettier with her theft.  Occam Bandage   Jun-15-08 05:12 PM   #116 
   If you look at the recipes, you'll see that she steals chips from the intended cookie eaters, too.  chascarrillo   Jun-15-08 05:08 PM   #107 
      And that's the ONLY discrepancy  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 05:10 PM   #110 
   Check it out! Some news company called AFP was reporting 12 hours ago.....  papapi   Jun-15-08 05:08 PM   #109 
   Er, Agence France-Presse is the third largest news organization in the world. They aren't  Occam Bandage   Jun-15-08 05:10 PM   #111 
   You're right. I just tracked it down. Sorry.  papapi   Jun-15-08 05:14 PM   #117 
   AFP = Agence France-Presse.  chascarrillo   Jun-15-08 05:10 PM   #112

   is she a cookie recipe monster? nt  crankychatter   Jun-15-08 06:27 PM   #134 
   I don't see a problem with it  DesertRat   Jun-15-08 06:43 PM   #136 
   It's a cut and paste from Hershey's site, not a "family favorite" from a "family friend"  Stephanie   Jun-15-08 06:49 PM   #137 
   If a magazine asked me for my family's favorite cookie recipe  DesertRat   Jun-15-08 07:03 PM   #140

217. Stealing other people's ideas
Isn't that the McCain mantra this year?

I've noticed that nearly every page of the comments section at the recipe's website has at least one person pointing out Cindy's plagiarism.

22. Are you kidding? I doubt she even stole this recipe herself.
She probably just asked one of her servants to send out some recipes to make her look "homey".

7. some of the other recipes were lifted from foodnetwork site--from rachel, I believe
these people are completely dishonest.

the very least she could have said is, "got these recipes from food network, and my family and friends love them", NOt "these are treasured family recipes" or whatever she said

Bloggers Find Something Fishy In McCain Site's 'Family Recipes'

By Michael D. Shear
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, April 16, 2008; Page A05

Ahh, the home cooking of Sen. John McCain's wife, Cindy. You can almost smell her Ahi tuna with Napa cabbage slaw or her rosemary chicken with warm spinach salad as you peruse the recipes on her husband's campaign Web site.
Or you could have, until yesterday, when that part of the site was taken down after bloggers revealed that several of the "McCain Family Recipes" were, in fact, copied word for word from the Food Network.

Cindy McCain's tuna recipe was actually developed and submitted to the Food Network by cookbook author and former "Cooking Thin" host Kathleen Daelemans. The recipe for farfalle pasta with turkey sausage, peas and mushrooms was a "quick pasta classic" from the TV show "Everyday Italian." That old McCain standby -- rosemary chicken -- was a creation of TV chef Rachael Ray and was lifted, with a few changes, from the same Food Network site.

All three were listed on a McCain Web page titled "Cindy's Recipes."

"Apparently a Web intern added Rachael Ray to our policy team without her knowing it," McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds deadpanned yesterday. "He was swiftly dealt with, and the page is down for revision."

24. how many people actually create their own cookie recipes?
i'm going to give cindy a pass on this. people get baking recipes from a variety of sources - rarely does anyone know the original source. my kids would tell you that my recipe for chocolate chip cookies is the best recipe in the world, but if you looked at my hand scribbled recipe, you might notice that it is almost identical to the recipe printed on the back of a bag of nestlé chocolate chips.

39. i think it's very possible that she did get the recipe from "a friend"
Edited on Sun Jun-15-08 03:59 PM by shugah
cookie recipes get passed around. :shrug:

however, i never thought i'd find myself in a position of defending cindy mccain -i'm kind of creeped out about the whole idea of it. yuck!

(i far prefer Michelle's shortbread cookie recipe anyway.)

edit: typo

32. Nah, hers was not scribbled anywhere. Look at the way the amounts are formatted.
She won't even name the "good friend" who gave her the recipe. Our Democrats both credit the source. Look at how the wording is identical except for the brand of chips and the last direction. When you are scribbling a recipe off a package you don't write all that stuff out.

37. And when you write out a recipe you don't include "all-purpose" flour or vanilla "extract"
Edited on Sun Jun-15-08 03:58 PM by Stephanie
You'd write 1 cup flour, 1 tsp. vanilla. Those qualifiers are revealing. It's clearly a cut and paste job.

212. Yes you would.
Granulated sugar works differently from confectioner's sugar. Likewise, all-purpose flour and bread flour work differently in recipes, and you should specify which.

40. The idea that any woman should have to prove herself with a cookie recipe
is just sad and outdated. I too can't get on the bash-her-for-this bandwagon. Yes, she could have said where the recipe came from but I'm sure she's lied about things of much more substance than this.

ps. Most people lie about recipies....

52. Again, why is this important? is she a chef? Is Michelle Obama a chef?
Did Michelle claim she made up her own recipe from scratch?

How many of us make cookies from recipes we created? I'm guessing very few. We might tweak a recipe already published somewhere, but I think few of us have the cooking know how to create one out of thin air.

This whole thing is very sexist. Neither of those women's cookie recipes should matter to anyone. We have big problems in this country- maybe you haven't noticed...

55. No, Michele said she got hers from the girls' godmother,
Cindy said she got hers from a "family friend." Her friend is named Hershey's Inc., apparently. I am not saying she should have created her own recipe, but to copy and paste a recipe from the Hershey's website and then say it is a family favorite gotten from a family friend is, well what would you call that, a LIE, I guess, is the correct term.

74. Because the repubs are trying their best to present Mrs. McCain as the perfect housewife
While simultaneously insinuating that Michelle Obama is some sort of America-hating anti-mom.

Does a stolen recipe matter in the grand scheme? Probably not. What does matter is the lying. This is the second time Ms. McCain has been caught lying about her culinary skills. The fact that with all her riches, she couldn't take the time to pay a professional baker to invent a unique recipe shows that team McCain, once again, JUST.DOESN'T.GET.IT.

It is a petty and shallow act by petty and shallow people.

76. Or at least not lie about a "family friend" who gave her the recipe
And how it's a "family favorite" when it was CLEARLY just copy and pasted from the website. Who writes out "packed light" brown sugar when they give you a recipe? Who says to mix in a "large" bowl? Cut & paste job, clearly.

it will be more of the same.. In this case more of the same deception and lying on the part of the Republicans... Since this is the history of this woman, I would say it would be quite a topic indeed... If Michelle had done this, trust me the Republicans would be up in arms with pitchforks, ready to destroy her reputation....

46. I doubt the cook made these. I think the intern was asked to dig up a recipe again.
As I pointed out above, note the formatting of the ingredients. When you copy a recipe out by hand you don't write out "all purpose" flour. You don't put the dash in 1-1/2 cups. Etc.

57. True, but that may be dictated by the style guide for the publication.
Mind you, I am a completely awful cook (I messed up cole slaw, for god's sake!), so I'm not entirely qualified to make these statements...

In any case, the order of indgredients are the same, the ingredients are the same (except that there's 1/12 of a cup fewer butterscotch chips - presumably Cindy stole them from the intended recipients of the cookies), and while the directions look different, they're actually saying the exact same thing - they're only very oddly rewritten, I think in an attempt to hide the source.

213. Clearly in an attempt to hide the source.

My best cole slaw recipe:

Mix shredded Napa cabbage (one head), carrots (2 or 3 large), and thinly sliced red onions (one medium, or less, to your taste) in a bowl. Make a dressing by mixing Newman's Own Balsamic Salad Dressing and mayonnaise (Hellmans!) to a creamy consistency. Pour dressing over the cabbage mix, sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste, toss, and refrigerate so the flavors can blend. Delish!

stealing recipes and passing them off in one of these things?

63. Are you, perhaps, thinking of Cindy McCain's other recipe thefts? I don't recall seeing this one.

64. No, that was a different recipe thing where she stole the recipe from Rachel Ray.
This is an entirely new recipe contest.

72. Cindy says, "In a large bowl beat the butter or margarine, granulated sugar and brown sugar..."
Hershey's says, "Beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in large bowl..."

Another intern is about to get FIRED! :rofl:

86. He forgot the sarcasm thingy
It's just hysterical how they tried to disguise the recipe by moving "large bowl" from the beginning to the end of the sentence.

88. I don't care if she does or not but I do care that the campaign is so stupid to do this three times!
The shameless lies, the theft, it does not reflect well on them, and in a family magazine.
