0:00
- Guess what day it is, y'all?
0:03
It's day two for the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies.
0:10
And I love this time of year
0:13
when I get to make all the cookies
0:15
that I don't normally make during the year. (claps)
0:19
So for day two, I am going to make
0:25
an chocolate orange (phone ringing)
0:30
Okay, y'all, my phone was ringing so I went to answer it,
0:34
And we've got our butter.
0:36
We've got a eight-ounce package of cream cheese.
0:38
Now you know it's a good cookie
0:41
if it's got butter and cream cheese, right?
0:44
Alright, I'm gonna add my sugar.
0:48
I'm gonna add my egg.
0:51
I'm going to add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
0:57
Lulu, come eat your breakfast.
1:00
She is just begging, y'all, for a treat,
1:03
and I don't like to give it to her
1:05
until she eats her breakfast.
1:08
But she's wanting no part of breakfast, so you know what?
1:14
She's gonna win, Theresa. (laughs)
1:22
- [Theresa] When doesn't she?
1:24
- Well, she wins all the time.
1:27
Is this what you want?
1:29
Is this what you want?
1:31
Is that what you want?
1:33
You know that's what I want, mom.
1:39
Oh, she's a spoiled brat, y'all.
1:43
She's a spoiled brat, and she rules this house.
1:49
All right, so we're going to beat this up real good.
1:53
Now the recipe will tell you to add the orange zest.
1:57
We need about a teaspoon of orange zest,
1:59
but I don't like to put my zest in when I'm using the mixer
2:05
because the zest gets all caught up in the beaters
2:10
and I don't wanna lose one little piece of my zest.
2:16
'Cause to me, that's where the flavor is.
2:19
I'm just gonna run this around
2:21
and make sure we get every bit of it mixed up.
2:26
And I told you, I was telling you
2:28
I don't like to put my zest in when I'm using this.
2:31
So I'm gonna zest and I'll stir it in at the last.
2:37
I think I'm gonna put a little orange extract in it too
2:42
'cause I do love the orange flavor.
2:45
Now, you certainly don't have to do this.
2:50
We about out of orange.
2:57
Love it, love it, love it.
3:07
You just wanna mix that until it's well blended,
3:10
and then I have my flour over here,
3:13
and I believe it's all purpose, yeah.
3:16
So I'm gonna add some salt to it,
3:20
and just whisk that together.
3:23
And I'm going to slowly kind of add it
3:29
to my wet ingredients, like maybe four different times
3:33
but we don't wanna overbeat,
3:35
you know, we just wanna mix it well.
3:38
Okay, I added all the flour.
3:40
Now, I'm gonna zest my orange.
3:43
And I got zesters that a couple of different sizes,
3:48
and you might know that this is not the size I like.
3:54
(laughs) I got one that's bigger.
3:59
You know, you can get your zesters in different sizes,
4:05
but this one is good 'cause it's...
4:08
- [Theresa] I didn't know you can get
4:09
zesters in different sizes.
4:12
You know, this one is a good one for like oranges and lemons
4:17
'cause it's not deep enough to get the pies, you know.
4:31
- Smells amazing. - Uh-huh.
4:33
Does that look like a teaspoon to you, Theresa?
4:36
- [Theresa] Yeah, I'd say maybe a little bit more.
4:38
- [Theresa] But you also added in the orange.
4:41
- [Paula] I added in the orange extract too.
4:43
- [Theresa] So you might wanna taste it before you add more.
4:48
- [Paula] See, that zest will get lost,
4:54
and I don't want any lost zest.
5:00
Alright, now I know y'all thinking
5:02
Paula, you said this is a chocolate orange. (laughs)
5:08
Where's the chocolate?
5:09
Where's the chocolate?
5:15
and we're fixing to stir in our chocolate chips.
5:20
Looks like about a cup,
5:22
but you can do as much or as few as you want.
5:27
Okay, stir that in real good.
5:31
So you see what I'm talking about.
5:33
Most of it would wind up in those beaters,
5:37
and I don't like it that way.
5:45
Okay, so in goes our chocolate chips.
5:54
This looks pretty good, doesn't it?
5:57
- I like this recipe 'cause it doesn't make
5:59
like 2,000 cookies, you know? (laughs)
6:09
I'm gonna spray my...
6:14
so luckily, the dough won't stick to it.
6:22
That's a neat little trick, y'all.
6:26
Spraying your dobber thing.
6:30
I don't know what Theresa just called me.
6:34
- [Theresa] What did I call you, Paula?
6:35
- You know what she just called me, y'all?
6:37
She called me stingy.
6:39
- [Theresa] Why did I call you stingy?
6:42
- Because you said, "Please leave some dough for me."
6:45
- That's not very much- - And look,
6:46
I didn't even use this, so look how much-
6:48
- [Theresa] Don't, don't.
6:49
- [Paula] Look how much dough you done.
6:50
- [Theresa] You don't have to show everybody.
6:51
- [Paula] I can make another cookie with that. (laughs)
6:53
- [Theresa] But no. (Paula laughs)
6:56
- She loves raw cookie dough.
6:58
And she loves them baked too, both ways.
7:03
All right, 350 for 12 minutes, y'all.
7:09
This is the finished product and I just gobbled down one.
7:14
And they're so good and I'm so glad
7:17
that I added the orange extract, Theresa.
7:20
'Cause it gives it that one more little kick
7:25
to have in that orange, and look at all those,
7:29
all those chocolate chips.
7:34
And you know, some nuts would be good in this cookie too,
7:37
but a lot of my grandchildren don't like nuts
7:40
so I need to make a cookie once in a while that's not nutty.
7:47
But I love the orange flavor with the chocolate.
7:52
And of course, those chips, they just squish in your mouth
7:56
'cause they're still warm.
8:00
So that completes day two
8:05
of the 12 Cookies of Christmas.
