I didn't pay much attention since I'm on the eating side of cookie production and it seemed to be yet another dubious web poll, but it got a lot of press. Anyhow, Zsa Zsa gave an interview to NPR today and lo and behold:
Mrs. HEINZ KERRY: Pumpkin spice cookies?The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy does cookies now? Bwahahaha!
STAMBERG: That's your recipe, by the way.
Mrs. HEINZ KERRY: It's not mine, by the way. No, it's--somebody in our office gave that recipe out.
STAMBERG: Oh. We are talking about a Family Circle magazine bake-off face-off, Laura Bush's oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies vs. Teresa Heinz Kerry's purported pumpkin spice, and the discussion of these cookies, as anti-war demonstrators marched 10 floors below on the Boston streets, seems surreal.
Mrs. HEINZ KERRY: And, in fact, I think somebody really made it on purpose to give a nasty recipe. I never made pumpkin cookies. I don't like pumpkin spice cookies.
