0:00
- We are making iced gingerbread cookies.
0:05
What day is this though?
0:07
- [Theresa] This is day five of Christmas cookies.
0:10
- Day five of the 12 days of Christmas cookies.
0:15
- [Theresa] We're getting there.
0:16
- I know. We are getting there.
0:18
And Michael just got in from work
0:20
and he said, "I love those cookies that Michelle,"
0:25
And I said, "I know."
0:26
And I think this is gonna be much like her cookie.
0:29
So I hope you'll like these too.
0:33
2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour.
0:36
I've got pumpkin pie spice.
0:41
And even though pumpkin pie spice
0:46
has some ginger in it,
0:47
I'm still gonna add a little bit of extra ginger.
0:52
Maybe like a teaspoon maybe.
0:57
And then I've got my cinnamon,
1:00
I've got baking soda,
1:06
and I've got my salt.
1:09
And I'm just gonna whisk this together.
1:13
This is an easy, quick cookie and
1:23
it's fairly easy to make too.
1:32
I've got a stick of very nice soft butter.
1:39
- [Theresa] You're welcome.
1:46
So that'll be easy, easy for me to beat up.
1:52
So we just wanna cream this together
1:56
and then we're slowly gonna add
2:01
our dry mix to our wet mix.
2:06
Okay, the next thing we're gonna do is beat in our egg.
2:15
Even our egg's at room temperature, Theresa.
2:21
Now we're gonna add our vanilla.
2:34
And let it run over a little bit, (chuckles) like that.
2:40
And then let's see, how much molasses?
2:44
A few tablespoons I think it is.
2:49
- Half a cup. - Half a cup, okay.
2:53
I'm going to use my half a cup one
2:57
and I'm gonna spray it so that
3:06
it'll slide right off that.
3:12
This always reminds me of motor oil (chuckles).
3:17
All right, there we go, half a cup.
3:19
And look how it's gonna pour out of there
3:23
No fighting with that.
3:26
We can find something else
3:28
to fight with, can't we? (chuckles)
3:35
See how dark and rich that is?
3:45
Okay, now I'm slowly gonna add our seasoned flour.
4:03
Ooh, that's rich smelling, that molasses.
4:06
Y'all smell it? (chuckles)
4:15
Did you say you could smell it?
4:17
- [Eddie] No, I can't.
4:18
- You can't smell it?
4:21
Usually you got the nose of a,
4:34
A dog can smell pretty good.
4:42
Now, after we get this all mixed together,
4:46
we're going to have to put it in the refrigerator
4:50
and it can last up to three days, this dough,
4:55
in your refrigerator.
4:57
So if you wanna make it easy on yourself,
4:59
you can get your dough ready,
5:03
and in the next couple of three days,
5:06
when you feel like baking cookies,
5:08
it'll be right there waiting on you.
5:11
All right, y'all can see
5:13
that you could never roll this out
5:18
unless it's been refrigerated.
5:21
And I'm gonna get a piece of
5:38
because this really needs to sit overnight.
5:41
We have a dough that's already,
5:46
Theresa made this last night so it could sit all night.
5:50
And you can see how sticky this is.
5:52
So we just gonna wrap this in our plastic wrap.
5:58
Oh, no, (chuckles) we can't let anybody eat that, can we?
6:06
(Theresa and Paula chuckle)
6:15
I needed to take it off anyway.
6:30
This is a nice dough.
6:35
Maybe 'cause it's got molasses in it.
6:51
So we gonna have a lot of cookies to make.
6:57
Maybe I can get my girls to take this dough
7:05
and then get in the kitchen with their children
7:07
and bake these cookies off.
7:10
- [Theresa] Yeah, we've done the hard part for 'em.
7:15
Isn't that the truth?
7:16
Pretty, pretty dough.
7:19
Tell me what day it is.
7:21
- [Theresa] Remember, it's day five.
7:22
- Day five. That's right.
7:26
They all run in together on me.
7:30
All right, we're gonna roll this out
7:32
to between a quarter and a third,
7:37
a quarter to a third thick.
7:41
Now we got it going on.
7:53
that in some spots, the flour,
7:59
there was no flour there.
8:10
Hope there's not many spots like that one.
8:16
- [Theresa] They're pretty.
8:17
- Uh-huh, they are pretty.
8:20
They're fixing to be even prettier
8:21
'cause you know what we're going to do?
8:26
I'm gonna make a design on them.
8:30
This recipe makes a pretty, pretty cookie
8:36
because it's gonna have a glaze on it.
8:38
So we just going to go like this.
8:41
We don't wanna go all the way through.
8:44
Don't go all the way through the dough.
8:46
But, you know, just make some designs like that.
8:52
And then the icing will go in those cracks.
8:58
So we'll have like extra icing.
9:02
And you can do 'em any way you want to.
9:14
have a crinkle cutter.
9:19
They gonna go in the oven,
9:22
350 for about 12 to 15 minutes.
9:29
So just have fun doing whatever design you want to do.
9:34
Okay, our gingerbread cookies are ready.
9:36
And you can see the decoration
9:40
or the indentations that we used.
9:44
I'm not so crazy about the fork, but anyway.
9:48
Our glaze is 1 1/4 cup
9:55
and three tablespoons of very, very, very warm water.
10:01
And you just need to dip 'em
10:07
and that glaze will harden.
10:18
I think the glaze is gonna be pretty
10:20
in the cracks of the,
10:28
in the cracks of the cookie.
10:33
So you could get really, really artistic
10:41
with your design if you wanted to.
10:45
I don't think I went deep enough on mine,
10:48
and he went deep enough
10:52
to find a place to live.
11:06
Yeah, I'm actually gonna rub
11:09
some of the glaze off.
11:17
These are gonna be so good.
11:21
Iced gingerbread cookies.
11:39
Michael and I love a crunchy cookie.
11:50
What was this, number five, Theresa?
11:52
- [Theresa] Day five.
11:54
- Day five in 12 days of Christmas cookies.
12:00
And I'm going in for another dip.
12:03
That icing is good on it, y'all.
