- This past Saturday, y'all, I had a book signing
0:03
at The Lady and Sons here in Savannah,
0:06
and I just love all my friends out there
0:10
that I've maybe meeting for the first time.
0:14
and I just love y'all so much.
0:16
So one of the girls brought me a gnome
0:20
for my Christmas decorations, isn't he cute?
0:24
I've actually got to get a battery
0:27
I don't know what he's gonna do
0:27
after we put the battery in him.
0:31
and I thank you so much.
0:32
I just wanted to share that with y'all.
0:40
So speaking of cute, y'all,
0:43
this next recipe that I'm gonna share with you
0:46
from one of our viewer friends out there
0:55
She said "Hello from Oregon, Paula.
0:57
"Thought I'd share a photo of my childhood
1:01
"shortbread cookie recipe.
1:03
"I've made bags of them for my extended family
1:07
"every Christmas since writing this card
1:11
"So simple and absolutely irresistible.
1:15
"Best wishes from my kitchen to yours."
1:18
So we've got to thank Suzanne Pasion,
1:26
It would be like passion if it had two S's,
1:29
but I think you would pronounce that Pasion.
1:33
It's from the Pasion family.
1:35
And I wanna show y'all
1:44
- [Eddied] Original recipe.
1:46
This is the card that she wrote it on
1:53
And that is just great.
1:54
You know, I've got some recipes
1:57
in my brother's child handwriting
2:01
'cause he wanted our mama to cook him some recipes
2:05
that Grandma Paul had cooked,
2:08
so he got on the phone,
2:09
and he wrote down that recipe
2:12
so mama would make 'em.
2:17
So she called them Cookie Stamp Shortbread.
2:22
I don't know what the stamp is for,
2:24
but that's what she called them.
2:27
So I'm gonna beat our butter.
2:31
And it's nice and soft,
2:33
so it's not gonna take a whole bunch of beating.
2:35
I'm gonna add our powdered sugar.
2:40
- [Eddie] Brown sugar.
2:43
It's not powdered sugar, y'all.
2:46
I'm adding our light brown sugar.
2:49
And we're just gonna cream this up.
2:58
And we're gonna roll these cookies into a ball y'all.
3:01
And then we're gonna roll 'em
3:03
in just plain white sugar.
3:07
And then we're gonna put 'em on the cookie sheet,
3:09
we just gonna stamp 'em down
3:12
like she told us to do over 40 years ago.
3:21
roll these into a one-inch ball,
3:26
so that looks like about an inch, doesn't it?
3:39
- [Theresa] She says how many it makes, doesn't she?
3:49
- She tells us, I can't...
3:53
- [Theresa] I've looked at so many recipes.
3:58
Did you find a stamp, Eddie?
4:02
There's our stamp. (laughs)
4:05
Suzanne, the picture of your cookies are so pretty,
4:08
and it looks like you used a turbinado
4:11
or a caster sugar because,
4:13
I mean it just looks so good on there.
4:16
So I did have some turbinado sugar,
4:19
but is all turbinado,
4:24
so is it all kind of dark?
4:26
Anyway, Suzanne, I added some of the
4:31
turbinado sugar to our white sugar,
4:35
and I'm just gonna see if that makes a difference.
4:38
But look, we've got some coarse sugar in green
4:43
from my Christmas cookie makings.
4:46
So I'm gonna roll this in green sugar too
4:50
'cause it's got that pinker looking sugar
4:54
like your cookies appear to have on it.
4:59
I think that would be appropriate for Christmas, don't you?
5:07
We gonna have some pretty green cookies
5:09
with a crispy little crunch of sugar.
5:16
Look, that cookie just broke.
5:18
- [Theresa] That's how it's supposed to.
5:33
- [Theresa] Good try.
5:38
They're delicious Suzanne.
5:40
And thank you for sharing this cookie recipe
5:44
that you hold dear in your heart from your childhood.
5:48
Thank you so much for sharing it with the rest of us.
5:53
Butter, flour and sugar.
5:59
- [Theresa] Brown sugar, the best part of it.
6:02
- Mm-hmm, brown sugar.
6:08
