0:01
- All right, y'all, this is where I cry.
0:04
This is Christmas cookie number 12.
0:07
It seems like we went through 'em so quickly
0:11
and the last recipe is super easy.
0:16
that you wanna finish up with your children
0:19
because we're making this cookie on a puff pastry.
0:24
I hope I hadn't left this out too long
0:28
that it's gotten too soft.
0:32
Let me put a little flour on it.
0:37
But we call them cinnamon sugar swirl cookies.
0:41
Now, Eddie pulled out another name.
0:45
And there he is, auntie.
0:49
Eddie pulled out another name
0:51
'cause I think it's a French name.
1:06
- So we call 'em cinnamon sugar swirl cookies here
1:13
And Eddie, you can use that proper name, okay?
1:17
All right, so here's what I'm gonna do.
1:19
I've got some sugar and I've got some cinnamon.
1:24
Like I said, I think your children and your grandchildren,
1:27
I think they would love doing this with you.
1:32
So we just gonna mix those two ingredients together.
1:41
And then over here, I've got an egg and I've got milk.
1:54
So we're gonna beat those two things together.
1:58
Stay in that bowl, Paula Deen.
2:02
All right, so we are now gonna take our milk and egg
2:06
and we're gonna brush our pastry with that
2:12
because it's gonna make it gloss, make it shiny and glossy
2:21
and it's gonna make the cinnamon and sugar stick.
2:35
And you wanna do that before you start slicing your pieces
2:40
because it just makes it easier to brush one big piece
2:51
'cause I started out with this one
2:55
because I was trying to figure out without using a measure
2:59
what three eights, three eighths of an inch would look like.
3:06
And to me that feels like maybe three eighths of an inch.
3:14
All right, so we're just gonna sprinkle our cinnamon sugar
3:21
And the kids would love doing this.
3:29
I know my grands would.
3:35
All right and I'm doing two, two sheets of puff pastry
3:39
so we can be pretty generous with this.
3:53
The only thing it needs is a little butter.
3:57
All right, so now we're gonna take a piece of pastry
4:06
and we're gonna just roll it in like that.
4:18
And I think that's the word.
4:21
That shape maybe is what that word means.
4:26
- [Eddie] I don't know.
4:33
- So see how simple and easy these are?
4:44
And I'm not gonna worry
4:46
if I do more than three eighths of an inch.
4:55
All right, y'all, this was the first one I did
4:58
so I had to work on it.
4:59
So I think we'll see what we've got
5:04
but I think we can make this thing a little easier
5:09
and I wound up, I wound up egging both sides.
5:18
And then all we do is take each end.
5:24
I think this is more like the shape it should be
5:28
and it's certainly a lot easier than this way.
5:32
So we're gonna try it this way and see how they turn out.
5:46
And the dough is so soft.
5:53
And like I said, I wound up
5:59
putting the egg milk mixture on both sides
6:02
'cause I felt like it could stick better,
6:04
help it stick better.
6:06
So then I've got, I've got some extra sugar.
6:12
So you see the way I rolled it the first time
6:18
where the cinnamon sugar would be up
6:20
but now it's gonna be inside
6:23
but I can always sprinkle a little bit more on the top.
6:27
So I think we got this thing mastered and it really is easy.
6:32
Alrighty, let me see.
6:34
What was the temperature on this?
6:37
I think it was, it's 400
6:41
and we're gonna cook 'em for 13 to 15 minutes
6:45
and we gonna see which way you like 'em best.
6:51
Hey, look at our little palmiers.
6:57
Did I say that right, Eddie, palmiers?
6:59
- [Eddie] Palmiers. - Palmiers.
7:02
All right and so Eddie looked it up
7:05
and I said I knew they had to be called that
7:08
'cause of their shape.
7:10
And he looked it up and it is named
7:16
because they say it looked like a palm tree, palmier,
7:24
and I guess it could look like a a palm tree, right?
7:32
The top of a palm tree.
7:36
- [Eddie] Stylized palm.
7:37
- Huh? - [Eddie] Stylized palm.
7:41
So they're beautiful, they're not real sweet
7:45
and it's fun for the children to make.
7:47
So we have completed our 12 Days of Christmas Cookies.
7:56
So I'm gonna go off and cry for a little while
7:59
but then I'll be back with something real good and savory.
8:03
So this is the last day of the 12 Days of Christmas Cooking
8:11
But I will be back, the good Lord willing,
8:14
for the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies in December 2025.
