What's for Dinner?

With Election Day 2008 rapidly approaching, we're used to what each of the candidates has to offer our country, but do we know what their wives have to offer? We're talking about baked goods, of course. We chose this cookie recipe from Dailynews.com to share with you ... enjoy!

3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
