0:00
- Oh, oh, we got two, y'all.
0:04
We got two. We got two.
0:10
I think you had checked him earlier, hadn't you, Eddie?
0:15
- [Eddie] I usually check them first thing
0:16
when I come out with the dogs.
0:17
- Yeah, and we put this clip on here, y'all, to make sure,
0:22
'cause you know, raccoons, they have hands like ours
0:25
and they can use them like we use our hands.
0:28
So we put an extra safety measure.
0:32
So all you chicken ladies out there...
0:36
(mimics rooster crowing)
0:38
Listen to Fang. (laughs)
0:42
You're so cute, Fang.
0:52
I think I'm gonna let 'em out for a while
0:55
and then I'll come back and put 'em away.
0:59
Y'all come out, little pretty chickens.
1:12
You know, I went out to the chicken coop
1:14
and I didn't have but two eggs in there.
1:16
That's all those girls had for me.
1:20
I've gotta go put them up.
1:23
But anyway, I do need eggs in this recipe.
1:27
And I got just the recipe emailed from a lady in...
1:35
Does it say where she's from?
1:37
I don't see it, but her name is Sue
1:40
and I'm probably fixing to slaughter your last name, Sue.
1:55
I hope I didn't brutalize it too much, Sue,
1:57
but I very much appreciate it.
2:00
And this is the info she got me.
2:04
Gingerdoodle cookies.
2:06
It's a cross between a chewy gingerbread cookie
2:10
and a classic snickerdoodle
2:12
to create a new Christmas cookie
2:15
that will be an instant favorite.
2:18
So I thank you, thank you, thank you Sue.
2:22
I'm fixing to share your recipe with the rest of the world
2:26
and it's got a lot of ingredients, it looks like.
2:32
That must be baking powder, no, corn starch
2:36
and soda and cinnamon and nutmeg
2:45
It's got ginger, cloves, and nutmeg and cinnamon.
2:49
So it's got four spices in it.
2:52
Brown sugar, salt, molasses,
3:00
All right, so the half a cup of sugar is to be divided.
3:06
Theresa, is this- - I already did that.
3:07
- So this is a fourth of a cup of sugar.
3:12
So let's get started.
3:15
All right, so I've got my plain flour,
3:17
I've got my corn starch, I've got soda.
3:23
It seems like that was soda, right?
3:26
A teaspoon of cinnamon.
3:32
Looks like about a half a teaspoon of salt.
3:49
I think that might be nutmeg.
3:54
Yep, that's definitely cloves.
3:58
They really have a unique smell
4:01
and it's usually a strong smell.
4:05
All right, so I'm just gonna mix those together.
4:09
Now this is the sugar
4:14
and the cinnamon that we're gonna mix together
4:18
because we're gonna roll our dough into balls
4:26
and then we're gonna roll 'em in the cinnamon and sugar.
4:31
So you can see where the snickerdoodle thing is coming in.
4:37
That leaves us with the wet part
4:43
We got a stick and a half of butter
4:47
and our brown sugar and our white sugar.
4:53
We're gonna cream those.
4:56
You know, we just wanna make sure they're creamy.
4:59
And you'll wanna make sure
5:00
that your butter is at room temperature
5:05
so you can get it creamy pretty quickly.
5:09
All right, so in goes our egg
5:13
and in goes our molasses.
5:18
That looks like pure motor oil.
5:21
- [Theresa] Smells good though.
5:22
- Uh-huh, it looks like you could change the oil
5:26
in your truck with that.
5:30
And it calls for two teaspoons of vanilla.
5:38
And I'm gonna measure to go right by Sue's recipe.
5:45
Now all we're gonna do is slowly kind of add
5:53
our flour in with our wet.
6:15
You have to have that thing just right.
6:17
That little kickstand on those mixers
6:20
you have to have just right (laughs)
6:22
or they'll teeple-topple on you.
6:48
Mm, I'm smelling all those spices.
6:50
Can you smell 'em, Eddie?
6:51
- [Eddie] I can. Yes.
6:52
- (laughs) It's starting to smell like Christmas, isn't it?
6:57
That looks pretty good, Eddie, doesn't it?
7:01
So we're gonna roll these in a heaping tablespoon,
7:06
so they're gonna be a pretty good sized cookie.
7:11
Okay, so I got my hands washed, y'all.
7:14
Now I'm ready to get 'em back in the food.
7:19
So Sue tells us to use a heaping tablespoon.
7:23
So I'm gonna say that leveled off,
7:27
this would be a heaping tablespoon,
7:30
and we're gonna just need to roll it in a ball.
7:35
That's a big tablespoon.
7:37
- [Eddie] That might be two tablespoons.
7:39
- I think that might be two tablespoons, too,
7:41
so I'm gonna do that.
7:44
You know what I'm gonna do?
7:45
I'm gonna make 'em about the size that I would
7:49
my peanut butter balls that I make for the children
7:54
that I first ate in elementary school.
8:02
So wish I had a perfect one.
8:04
I may be able to find another one, Eddie.
8:07
So she said to roll these in our sugar and our cinnamon.
8:12
Oops, that's definitely bigger.
8:14
Get back in that other pan. (laughs)
8:18
I do like all my cookies the same size.
8:35
Yeah, I think that's gonna be about right,
8:39
- Yeah, that looks right.
8:42
So I'm gonna have to make him a little bit bigger
8:49
Sue said to take your palm of your hand
8:53
and flatten these down some.
8:56
So let's see, four times four is 16, 18, 20,
9:00
22, 24, 26, 27 cookies this recipe makes.
9:13
baked for 10 minutes.
9:16
Okay, Eddie, I'm gonna push them towards you.
9:20
Watch my hands and get those in the oven.
9:23
Okay, so Sue tells us
9:28
to sprinkle the tops of our cookies
9:32
with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture
9:35
that we were rolling our balls in.
9:38
So I have opted to do it right here
9:42
while they're in the oven and still warm and receptive
9:47
to having the cinnamon sugar sprinkled on 'em.
9:57
- They look delicious and they smell even more delicious.
10:03
So Sue sent us in the recipe for this.
10:07
She said it's a cross between, let's see what she says.
10:09
Gingerdoodle cookies is what she calls them
10:15
because it's a cross between a chewy gingerbread cookie
10:19
and a classic snickerdoodle.
10:21
So that's a great name, Gingerdoodle,
10:25
because I really, I really taste the taste of the ginger.
10:32
Reminds me very much of a good gingerbread cookie.
10:36
So I thank you, thank you, thank you, Sue,
10:39
for sharing this recipe with us.
10:43
And I know all of our friends out there
10:45
that find this recipe's gonna love 'em.
10:49
And don't forget it's Christmas time.
10:51
Gotta start that bakin'. (laughs)
10:55
