ou may never be elected
president of the United
States and taste the power
of the presidency. But now
you can at least taste the very same
cookies the President eats.
First Lady Barbara Bush has
given Style magazine her personal
recipe for spicy ginger cookies — a
recipe that has not, to our knowl-
edge, been published anywhere else
before. And Mrs. Bush told us,
through her spokespeople, that she
will be serving these cookies to her
family during the holidays.
The recipe is Mrs. Bush's very
own. So, enjoy! George will! H
