four years ago and she's doing really
4:41
well
4:42
one of the side effects of her
4:43
chemotherapy that she takes daily
4:45
is that it would be dangerous for her to
4:47
carry a baby and my husband and i
4:50
were happy to step up to the challenge
4:52
and i say my husband i because it really
4:54

5:00
supportive
5:01

part of this cookie i can never get my
8:46
pralines to dry i don't know what to do
8:47
well i think i can help you with that
8:49
i'm gonna be making a
8:51
praline y'all which is nothing but sugar
8:54
and water
8:55
i'm gonna toast off some pecans and
8:59
uh we're gonna pour down our cookie
9:00
sheet and it's gonna get
9:02
hardening and crunch up for us
9:05
and then we're gonna put it in the
9:06
cookie dough sounds good doesn't it
9:08
it sounds delicious okay so i'm gonna go
9:11
ahead and start on
9:12
the cookie part i'm gonna cream together
9:13
two sticks of butter
9:15
soften okay you don't want to make the
9:16
mistake of doing it hard
9:18
and um white sugar can you pass me this
9:21
please i sure can
9:22
i'm gonna need a third of a cup okay
9:25
for our praline
9:29
and then it's all yours girl sounds good
9:32
thank you all right so i got my nuts
9:34
going okay and i'm going to toast those
9:37
off just for a minute
9:38
and you'll want to be very careful when
9:40
you're toasting your nuts
9:42
and they can scorch very easily and of
9:45
course
9:45
once you scorch a nut can't go there
9:48
there's nothing to do but throw him in
9:49
the trash
9:51
i'm gonna keep an eye on those so now
9:52
i'm gonna put in a cup
9:54
of tightly packed brown sugar because
9:56
you wanna make sure it's all nice and in
9:58
there
9:58
and you get the exact amount you need
10:01
now i've got my third of a cup of sugar
10:04
in my saucepan and to my sugar
10:07
i'm gonna add two tablespoons of water
10:12
and i'm gonna stir this constantly the
10:14
whole time
10:15
and then i'm gonna go ahead and add my
10:17
eggs and i will be adding
10:19
a teaspoon of vanilla i'm gonna go ahead
10:22
and start putting in my dry ingredients
10:23
now
10:24
okay and that starts with two and a half
10:27
cups of
10:28
flour the sugar and water it's starting
10:32
to get a little dark on me
10:34
but you know what we may have to call
10:36
grandmama on this one
10:37
because this little sauce it looks
10:41
pretty lame
10:44
hello hey grandma grandmama
10:48

10:51

round two round two we're using a
11:49
smaller saucepan
11:52
in goes our nuts okay so that's gonna be
11:56
nice and sticky and then we pour it out
11:58
on parchment paper to dry
12:00
so susan when you've tried to make this
12:02
at home
12:04
what size pot did you do this in
12:07
probably the biggest one i have okay see
12:09
that's i think that's the whole
12:12
secret is not having such a big surface
12:16
all right so we're just gonna add this
12:18
pralines to our batter
12:20
right and we're gonna drop these by the
12:23
tablespoon

i like to use an ice cream scoop i like
12:27
those too
12:30
we're gonna put these in a 350 oven for
12:33
13 to 15 minutes okay that sounds
12:35

17:44
but if your family you wanted to put
17:46
nuts in it go for it
17:47
we're gonna take our dough and put it in

18:21
slice a new roll and we have put some
18:29

19:49
little
19:50
i got i know what's so frustrating is
19:54
after you make your cookies
19:55
you take them off the pan and they
19:56
crumble up and break the easiest way to
19:58
keep that from happening is get yourself
20:00
a thin
20:01
metal spatula that way we get to eat

whole cookies

21:54
this recipe
21:55
you've been eating them since you were

little boys
21:59
[Music]
22:01
grandma paul santarts this was your
22:05
uncle bubba's
22:06
favorite cookie in the whole world he
22:08
would beg mama
22:10
to get the recipe and mama just never
22:12
got around to it so one day
22:14
uh bubba said what is grandma's phone
22:17
number
22:18
and so he picked up the phone he called
22:21
her
22:22
and he wrote down this recipe i still
22:25
have it written in
22:26
bubba's handwriting as a little boy yes
22:30
yes so he said now i can make my own
22:33
sand tarts
22:34
so let's get going when the last time he
22:37

22:40
he made a tart that we could talk about

22:46
softened butter y'all
22:48
that jamie's creaming bobby is gonna be
22:51
chopping us up
22:53
a cup of pecans this is not a real sweet
22:56
cookie y'all
22:57
the sweetness comes on the outside of it
23:01
because we're gonna roll them in
23:03
powdered or confectionary
23:04
sugar so we're only adding a half a cup
23:08
of powdered sugar to our batter that's
23:10

me into this conversation when i was
24:15

24:17

24:18
to dump those in all right

24:44

brooke told me last night when i went
24:53
over there she said guess what jack is
24:56

25:28
shape you want

25:32
crescent shake
25:33
all right i'm gonna go ahead and put
25:34
these in the oven 270 for how long
25:37
about 40 minutes these cook slow because
25:40
like i said they're
25:41

25:43
gonna stay about the size they
25:45
are that's perfect all right guys
25:49
we got some in the oven that's ready
25:53

25:56
sugar in a bowl
25:58
and we're going to roll these in the
26:00
powdered sugar
26:02
and you want to do it while they're warm
26:04
or
26:05
that's not enough son you got to throw
26:08
them down in there so that that
26:10
confectionary sugar will really stick on
26:13
them and coat them good
26:15
so just like that and i'm going to show
26:17
y'all
26:18
um how we're wrapping these because i'm
26:21

when you're planning your cookie swap
28:25
ask your friends not only to bring the

29:12
now let's get back to the show y'all
29:18
now we've gone to a lot of trouble to
29:20
make all these beautiful cookies
29:23
all we need is a little packaging so
29:26
i've got my friend david bromstead a
29:28
designer from the show color splash my
29:30
brand new couch is going to go here
29:32
and with the ottomans over there create
29:33
a perfect seating area to help me
29:35
package up the cookies we've made
29:37
so they'll fetch top dollar at our
29:40
charity auction
29:41
david we're having too much fun
29:46
thank you thank you thank you for being
29:49
here absolutely
29:50
you know christmas time is so much fun
29:52
because you can just
29:54
do things that you don't do normally
29:55
during the year absolutely so
29:57
let's get started you're so talented and
30:00
this guy
30:00
sees things maybe y'all that we don't
30:03
see
30:04
i like to take things and make them a
30:05
little bit more exciting and thinking a
30:07
little outside the box
30:08
and you know what when i'm making a
30:09
boxes chinese takeout box
30:12
that's mentioned what i'm going to show
30:14
you is how to really
30:15
make your christmas cookies a gift it
30:17
makes it feel very gourmet
30:19
and very special like you've gone to
30:21
trouble absolutely and you have gotten
30:23
into trouble
30:24
yes but we're gonna do it in a very
30:26
simple and very inexpensive way
30:28
i can't hardly wait to get these these
30:29
are a dollar store
30:31
very easy very simple and who doesn't
30:34
like chinese
30:34
and who doesn't like the chinese takeout
30:36
box and when you get cookies in them
30:38
perfect are you excited i'm so excited
30:41
all right so let's get started but now
30:42
get a box i want the green one you want
30:43
the polka dot one well you know what
30:46
i think you're a polka dot kind of a
30:47
girl i think i'm a polka dot kind of
30:49
girl too
30:49
so what we can do is we can start in
30:51
many different ways you can start with
30:52
these great shavings or you can start
30:54
with the tissue paper
30:55
that's where i'm going to okay good
30:57
because i was i was kind of wanting to
30:59
go through this
31:00
we take our cookies obviously and what
31:03
i'm going to do i'm going to lay
31:05
one in at a time and then i'm going to
31:07
take this great wax paper right here
31:10
this is just vellum and what it is
31:12
vellum and it's a nice
31:14
breaker between each cookie because then
31:15
the moisture doesn't seep oh okay
31:18
very dressy and classy yeah it's like a
31:20
muffin tin
31:21
liner exactly and this too is at the
31:23
craft store
31:24
it's like 50 cents for a sheet take our
31:27
cookie
31:28
lay it down there and another piece of
31:31
vellum you gotta put a fortune in
31:32
between each
31:33
other so it's like a fortune cookie
31:35
[Music]
31:41
close these up and it's cute just like
31:44
that
31:44
but what we can do you can either wrap
31:47
ribbon around one
31:48
or we can do a ribbon around oh
31:51
[Music]
31:55
another great thing you can do to add
31:56
with your tag is that the recipe
31:59
why not
32:02
beautiful cookies and beautiful
32:04
packaging so let's move on okay i'm
32:06
ready
32:06
all right so you know those are a few
32:08
cookies but some people want to get more
32:10
cookies these jars are fantastic you
32:12
could actually just set all the cookies
32:13
in there and they look beautiful
32:14
but i cut some templates out to make it
32:17
a little bit
32:18
blue may i use the green absolutely and
32:20
i have this color in my house a lot
32:22
perfect so we have lots of options we
32:24
have blue we have green and i'm going to
32:25
use
32:26
the polka dots that's pretty much it a
32:28
little bit more yeah that's gonna look
32:30
like a winter wonderland
32:31
all right so we have our beautiful
32:32
templates and they would look great
32:34
inside here but let's
32:35
add a little decorative ribbon okay why
32:37
don't you do yours vertical and i'm
32:38
gonna do mine horizontal
32:40
okay let's lay this down and we're just
32:42
going to use this two-way tape
32:43
that you have okay
32:45
[Music]
32:47
[Applause]
32:49
[Music]
32:52
take a template of the bottom of your
32:54
jar
32:55
and now we have our inserts oh great lay
32:58
one down
33:00
now the fun part starts we're going to
33:01
put the cookies in and since these are a
33:02
little gooey we're going to lay this
33:04
down in between
33:05
each okay let's probably about three
33:07
okay
33:08
and lay them out i'm gonna place them
33:10
around
33:12
okay and another piece of vellum i'm
33:14
just gonna keep doing that until it's
33:15
stacked all the way to the top
33:19
[Music]
33:22
all right so now we have all this it
33:23
looks fantastic and i want to put the
33:25
recipe in because
33:26
people are going to want to know how to
33:27
make these deliciously absolutely
33:30
and then we can tie it off with a white
33:31
ribbon which i think we should do
33:33
beautiful i think so too i think i'm
33:35
going to use the green
33:36
go for it
33:40
i would love to take a christmas
33:41
ornament and
33:43
run it up on there that's a great idea
33:44
and give an ornament along with the sack
33:47
of cookies
33:47
absolutely wouldn't that be neat
33:49
beautiful would you like an ornament i
33:51
think i would
33:52
okay let me see all right now i think
33:55
you need
33:56
gold i think i need gold too and i've
33:58
got
33:59
just the one for you look at this with
34:02

34:24
oh yeah fantastic this one's really easy
34:26
and we're going to make it look like a
34:27
little christmas plant
34:29
so what we're going to do is we're going
34:30
to take rice you're going to take a bowl
34:32
you can take any normal bowl you can
34:34
take one out of your own kitchen you can
34:35
go to the store and buy uh
34:37
any kind of flavor you can even do a
34:38
flower pot which would be really cute
34:39
that would be
34:40
very good to plug the bottom with some
34:42
tape or something so let's pour the rice
34:44
in
34:45
all right so just kind of feel it fill
34:48
it up pretty good
