Lani Halliday's Gluten-Free Holiday Cookie Recipe | Table for 2 | InStyle
When she started FEED, Bush Lauren was best known as part of the Bush political dynasty (she’s the niece of George W.), but now the 34-year-old mom of two (she’s married to Ralph Lauren’s son David) is regarded as a mindful entrepreneur (she’s teamed up with the likes of Target, Karlie Kloss, and Milk Bar’s Christina Tosi). Brooklyn-based baker Lani Halliday swung by to collaborate on a holiday cookie recipe with Lauren, the final product to be tucked into Bush Lauren’s FEED bags for personalized gifts that give back.

Laura Bush's Cowboy Cookies | Southern Living
Former First Lady Laura Bush is credited with putting these delicious oat-, coconut-, and pecan-stuffed chocolate chip cookies, now known as Cowboy Cookies, on the map. And the story behind her famous Cowboy Cookie recipe is almost as good as the cookies themselves. Almost.
Starting in 1992, Family Circle magazine has orchestrated a political bake-offthis link opens in a new tab during every presidential election year. It was already commonplace for presidential candidates to release family recipes during their campaign—it helps to humanize the candidates and also allows them to promote family values. But Family Circle decided to up the antethis link opens in a new tab by publishing cookie recipes from the wives of each candidate and asking readers to try baking both and then vote on their favorite. The results of the bake-off have interestingly almost always predictedthis link opens in a new tab the winner of the presidential election, save a couple outliers.
In the first First Lady bake-off in 1992, Hillary Clinton’s chocolate chip cookies beat out Barbara Bush’s still-delicious chocolate chip recipe, and again in 1996, Hillary’s chocolate chip recipe won over Elizabeth Dole’s Pecan Roll cookies. In 2000, Laura Bush debuted her Texas Governor’s House Cowboy Cookies, and as expected, they beat our Tipper Gore’s ginger snap recipe. Laura switched up her recipe during her husband’s second presidential campaign in 2004 to a similar oatmeal chocolate chunk recipe, but it’s her first Cowboy Cookie that’s become so famous.
As with most things in Texas, Laura’s Cowboy Cookies are big and completely stuffed with so many mix-ins: oats, coconut, pecans, and of course, chocolate chips. They’re sure to win over any crowd.
