Last night, President Obama and First Lady Michelle hosted a Halloween event at the White House. I’m sure the children were happy to know that Michelle relaxed her normally stringent nutrition requirements to hand out homemade sugar cookies.

President Obama told the kids there were apples — used in a dunking game — but indicated he would prefer the sweet stuff. “In fact, the more candy you eat, the later you eat the candy, the better.”

People magazine shared the recipe this morning — and it’s super simple.
