Historic Workshop: Making 19th-century Jumble Cookies

Cook and eat your way through history!  When Andrew Jackson defeated Henry Clay in the 1832 Presidential election, it was more than his populist message which helped him at the ballot box.  American women had been baking cookies, affectionately dubbing them Jackson Jumbles to hand out to citizens and influence the vote.  The other side was busy baking too; Clay Jumbles had a fair run, but didn’t emerge the winner.  See which you like better, and get some ideas on how to swing the next election.
