When cafe at the former U.S. President Clinton's presidential library opened Monday, the public would finally have the chance to enjoy the chocolate chip cookies his wife didn't stay home to make.

The cookies come from the same recipe Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is now a New York senator, rolled out after making much-reviled comments on her lack of domestic skills during Bill Clinton's first run for the White House in 1992.

"I've done the best I can to lead my life," Hillary said about her high-powered lifestyle in an interview at the time. "I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas."

The comment caused Republicans and others to complain that she was belittling stay-at-home moms. She ended up baking her chocolate chip cookies as an apology of sorts.

The recipe was also included in the Clinton Center Cookbook, which was sold last year to help raise money for the US$165 million library construction project.
