- I was just telling Eddie and Theresa, it seems like,
0:09
seems like, wait a min.
0:17
Okay, it seems like, of course it's been 20 years,
0:22
but it seems like I remember sitting in my bed
0:26
formulating this recipe and it's so easy
0:31
the children will love helping you with this one.
0:34
We've started with a sugar cookie dough,
0:40
refrigerator dough that you just slice
0:44
and I'm flattening those out.
0:48
And then you take your mint,
0:52
your Fudge Mint Delight cookies
0:56
and you just lay it on top of the dough.
1:01
I mean, see, the kids would have a ball doing this.
1:08
Uh oh, I might have smashed that one a little too hard.
1:13
We'll have to start over with him.
1:19
And they don't have to be encased.
1:22
So that first one I did, I had it covered completely.
1:28
But if you want to, you can
1:29
so it'll be a surprise when they bite into it.
1:33
You know what I mean?
1:41
Another one I had it too thin.
1:46
And you know those little refrigerator sugar cookies?
1:57
And they're great for the kids
1:58
to decorate at Christmastime.
2:05
They'll have a ball just making 'em different colors
2:09
and putting different beads on it or,
2:14
and they make a lot of cute little things now that are like,
2:18
they're like made of, they're edible
2:22
and you can put 'em on your cookies.
2:28
All right, so there we go.
2:37
Alrighty, I've got all of our little cookies hidden.
2:45
I'm telling you what, this is a so loaded bag
2:46
and I mean in places and this is a cookie that we use.
2:53
If you got some Girl Scout cookies,
2:57
those mint Girl Scout cookies, y'all, that'd be good too.
3:02
All right, so I've got my one beaten egg
3:06
and I'm gonna take it and I'm gonna brush the top
3:14
of each of our cookies.
3:21
And you may say, "well, why are you doing that, Paula?"
3:26
And I'm gonna show you why I'm doing that in just a second.
3:55
I brushed it with egg.
3:58
So those nuts would stick to the top.
4:02
Now, if your children don't like nuts,
4:05
a lot of my kids don't like nuts
4:07
so if they don't, you can certainly leave this off
4:12
or you could put maybe a cherry,
4:17
a maraschino cherry in the middle of each one of 'em.
4:24
We've got some maraschino cherries, don't we, Eddie?
4:26
- [Eddie] Yes. - All right.
4:27
Well, how about I do one with or two with a cherry
4:34
so you can see how that would turn out too?
4:39
All right, I've just torn the maraschino cherry
4:50
And that would make for a pretty Christmas cookie,
4:54
And we could go one more step further.
4:56
We could do some sprinkles.
4:59
How about that, Eddie? - [Eddie] Yeah.
5:01
- Why don't we do some sprinkles?
5:03
We'll just, we'll just go ahead and experiment
5:06
and see how we can make some great, easy,
5:10
delicious Christmas foods.
5:12
And I think I know where the sprinkles are.
5:15
Let's do a little, since we got the red cherry,
5:22
we'll do a little red.
5:24
And since we got these with all the colors, we'll do that.
5:35
Which one you like the best, Eddie, Theresa?
5:39
- [Eddie] I like the red one.
5:42
- I do too so let's go back and,
5:52
yeah and let's see what it'll look like on the nuts.
5:56
We just gonna go nuts.
6:05
I'll just do a few of 'em.
6:12
I mean, you can make this cookie take on
6:15
a really festive look quick, can't ya?
6:22
- You can even add a cherry on top of the nuts.
6:27
Oh my gosh, I'm having fun.
6:30
I'm having fun, y'all.
6:33
All right, 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
6:43
Hope they don't get too big.
6:46
- [Theresa] They look great.
6:47
- [Paula] I think they look great too.
6:50
- [Theresa] And you would never know
6:52
that you didn't make those sugar cookies.
6:55
- [Theresa] I mean like that is not a,
6:57
that does not look like a cut and bake cookie.
6:59
- [Paula] Never ever, no.
7:01
- [Theresa] What's your thoughts, Eddie?
7:02
- And see. - [Eddie] Looks good.
7:03
- See how Christmassy that one looks and-
7:08
- [Eddie] I wouldn't know
7:09
there was a cookie hiding in the middle.
7:11
- [Paula] I know it, you'd never know
7:12
that there's a surprise inside.
7:17
- [Theresa] 'Cause they spread out so much.
7:21
- [Theresa] Which one are you gonna try?
7:22
- I don't know, I'm trying to decide.
7:24
I think maybe this one 'cause I might like to,
7:30
to save the Christmassy looking ones
7:35
for some little children, not us big children.
7:42
Yes, this is such an easy way, mom and dads,
7:46
grandmamas and granddaddies to make that sugar cookie,
7:54
not having to roll anything out or any of that.
8:03
Can't wait to see what you say.
8:07
Would you share this other half with me, Theresa?
8:12
- She and I are both cookie monsters.
8:14
Now I wanna see your face when you taste it
8:17
and tell me what you think.
8:20
- [Theresa] Ooh, I like the way the nut tastes.
8:25
- Well, I love sugar cookies so.
8:30
And in case you don't like mint cookies,
8:37
you could substitute any little cookie that you wanted.
8:44
Don't have to put mint but it's so good, isn't it?
8:47
- [Theresa] You could even put like caramel in the middle
8:49
like little cut up pieces of caramel.
8:54
- [Theresa] Heath bar pieces.
8:55
- Yes, anything you wanted.
8:57
- [Theresa] The filling could pretty much be anything.
9:03
A Snickers bar sliced up.
9:05
- [Theresa] A nice surprise.
9:09
All right, now, how many cookies we got under our belt now?
9:15
- [Eddie] Three. - Next up is day four.
9:22
I might just make the one cookie
9:24
that will send you over the top for Christmas.
