Ok, so Cindy McCain should have been more careful, especially considering she has a reputation of stealing recipes. Yes, she should have cited the source if she knew where it came from.
But can this please be a sign to Family Circle about how ridiculous this bake-off is? Do we really think that any presidential candidate's spouse really bakes cookies from scratch, let alone has an original family recipe? I love to bake and am even known to many as a baker, but I use packages (Ghirardelli brownie mix is still better than anything I have tried from scratch) or recipes from cookbooks, other people, or websites. Yeah, we have a family recipe for eggrolls but who knows who that is copied from.
More importantly though, even if a Presidential candidate's spouse made the most amazing cookies, would that make that person a better First Lady/Lad or that person's spouse a better President?

I vote Break and Bake in 2012. That's what American families use anyway.
