- Y'all the next few videos, as you know,
0:03
is gonna be all about Christmas cookies.
0:07
And I don't know anybody that really doesn't like a cookie.
0:13
And I received the most interesting cookie recipe
0:18
in the mail from Vicki Kuba
0:22
and it's called Aunt Ann's Glazed Walnut Cookies.
0:28
And Vicki said, "These are the best cookies
0:30
that my Aunt Anna always made over the holidays
0:34
and special occasions.
0:36
She passed away at the age of 99 in 2012
0:42
and I'm so glad she shared this recipe
0:44
so that our family can continue
0:46
enjoying these mouthwatering cookies
0:48
and pass the recipe on to the next generation."
0:53
So thank you Vicki, so much
0:55
because to me Christmas is when we're really conscious
1:04
of thinking about all of our loved ones,
1:06
the people that we love so much,
1:08
our friends, and especially the people
1:13
that we've loved so very much that's passed on.
1:17
Alright, I gotta stick a butter.
1:28
And y'all, these are store-bought eggs.
1:30
We had to break down and buy eggs.
1:35
Now what are my girls doing?
1:37
What are they not doing?
1:38
I think I asked y'all in another video
1:40
if y'all are a chicken lady or a chicken man,
1:44
if y'all could tell me, are your chickens,
1:50
did they slow down laying when the weather starts changing.
1:54
I don't remember and I've had them for years.
1:57
Okay, so anyway, I got my two eggs.
2:00
I got my white sugar, I got my dark brown sugar.
2:05
And again, it's an easy cookie recipe.
2:13
So I'm just gonna cream this.
2:14
It's about the only thing I need the mixer for is just
2:16
creaming the butter and the sugars.
2:20
And she adds her vanilla along
2:24
with her evaporated milk at this time.
2:26
So one tablespoon of vanilla.
2:30
That's one reason I know I'm gonna like these cookies,
2:37
Alright, so here we go.
2:41
Now we have our flour and I think it's baking soda.
2:47
Yeah, it's baking soda that we have that we're gonna mix
2:52
And I think it's two and three fourth cup.
2:59
- So you just wanna mix your dry ingredients together.
3:07
And then one more time, Vicky said just stir it.
3:11
Don't even have to mix it.
3:13
All right, I might just use that.
3:18
She said just stir this in y'all.
3:21
But I think I'm just gonna do this.
3:24
Make it easy on myself.
3:27
Yeah, I ain't done with everything.
3:37
Now, so all we got left to add is our walnuts
3:44
and that's a cup of chopped walnuts.
3:47
What's gonna make this cookie so incredible y'all
3:52
is what we going to do to them after they've baked.
4:00
I'm gonna put a special glaze on them
4:04
and it sounds like to me
4:06
that they're gonna melt in your mouth.
4:08
Now we have to refrigerate this for one hour
4:11
because you can see it's a very loose,
4:14
it's almost like cake consistency.
4:17
So this is gonna have to firm up
4:19
before we can put them on a sheet.
4:24
So one hour and we will get back with those cookies y'all.
4:28
So y'all, we've got so many cookies to dip up.
4:33
I am recruiting Theresa
4:36
and Darlene to dip up my cookies for me.
4:40
Teaspoonful, y'all can watch each other's scoops
4:46
and make sure y'all are in line.
4:50
Alright, now I'm going to take me a little nap.
4:55
Alright, I'm melting two tablespoons of butter
4:59
and I'm gonna brown it,
5:01
I don't wanna burn it 'cause butter does burn easily.
5:06
So we're just gonna get that little brown.
5:08
I've got two cups of confection sugar waiting on me
5:11
and I've got a fourth of a cup of carnation evaporated milk.
5:16
Do not confuse that with condensed milk.
5:27
Yeah, don't confuse it with that.
5:30
Okey-dokey. I'm gonna cut that down some.
5:35
And I'm gonna put in our confectionet sugar.
5:47
I don't know what makes gas stove to that.
5:54
I'm going to add our milk.
6:06
before you put your caramelized icing on top
6:11
of your cookies, you'll want them to,
6:14
you know, cool slightly.
6:17
You don't wanna put it on it while they're piping hot.
6:23
Alright, uh oh, I forgot to turn that guy off.
6:34
Alright, so I let this cool a little bit.
6:36
And this gets thick really quick y'all.
6:41
As it cools it, oh, I need a walnut.
6:45
A whole half a walnut on each cookie. Theresa.
6:49
- [Theresa] There we go.
6:50
- Could you come nut them for me please? Thank you.
6:56
I may have to make some more of this,
6:59
you know if we run out?
7:02
Oh yes. Okay. Y'all, Aunt Ann's Glazed Walnut Cookies,
7:11
that little lady that lived to be 99 years old
7:17
and she made this for Christmas, for special holidays.
7:26
Tell you what, she may still retain the crown
7:30
with these, these are out of this world.
7:35
You know how much we love caramel cake?
7:40
It's a caramel cake cookie, y'all.
7:43
You have to try it, but double the glaze recipe
7:52
'cause I like lots of glaze.
7:55
So that would be my recommendation.
7:57
But I tell you what Vicki, I can't thank you enough
8:02
for caring enough to share this recipe with us.
8:05
'cause it is delicious.
8:08
So Love and Best Dishes
8:09
and y'all get started on those Christmas cookies
8:12
'cause it's just around the corner.
