- We are fixing to have some fun, y'all>
0:03
If you're into cookie decorating, which I'm not really,
0:11
because I can get too impatient,
0:13
but I really, really like
0:17
decorated cookies that are more on the simple side.
0:20
Those that require all the tips
0:22
and all the, I just, I'm not real good at that.
0:26
Like I said, I want to get it done. Get her done.
0:31
So the recipe, the cookie recipe,
0:35
we using a tea cake, my tea cake recipe.
0:39
And we did this in another video.
0:41
So you've got, you've got the tea cake recipe
0:45
that I used, and you'll wanna make it
0:48
and then stick it in the fridge for an hour or two
0:50
because it's a sticky dough.
0:53
It's kind of kind wet.
0:55
Now what number is this in?
0:58
- [Theresa] Forgot to tell you, day three.
1:00
- Day three. Well, gosh, we just did nine.
1:04
- [Theresa] We've been jumping around, let's be honest.
1:06
- So day three on our Christmas cookies
1:12
and you know, oh, I put the dough over here.
1:16
I think the kids would really have fun
1:19
helping you on this one.
1:23
Maybe after you get 'em cut out and baked
1:27
and let them decorate 'em.
1:31
Because like I said, it's fairly simple.
1:35
It's a simple decoration.
1:40
You can see this has probably been in the refrigerator now
1:45
And you can see it's still sticky.
1:49
Going to put some flour down to help me,
1:53
help me not curse, you know what I mean?
2:03
Okay, I had pinched off a piece
2:12
what size to make the cookie.
2:15
I'm just gonna use my biscuit cutter
2:18
and I'm gonna roll these out to about a quarter of an inch.
2:23
And you know your scraps, you just,
2:29
I save them and knead them a second
2:38
So y'all holler when you think I got it,
2:40
like a quarter of an inch, okay?
2:42
Y'all gonna have to holler loud though.
2:54
I hear no hollers. - [Theresa] Eddie. Is it?
2:57
- [Eddie] Well, it's definitely not from this side.
3:00
- It's definitely not a...
3:01
Is it more, oh, it's thick, okay.
3:04
- [Theresa] It's like a half of inch,
3:06
if not three quarter closer to it.
3:08
- Oh wow. Well there's nothing wrong with a fat cookie.
3:13
- [Theresa] Yeah, I don't know why they tell you
3:15
to do 'em so thin anyway.
3:18
- We were debating about using the larger one
3:21
or the more medium size.
3:23
So we decided on this size.
3:30
Now on the tea cake recipe,
3:38
I love this parchment paper y'all
3:40
'cause you can reuse it.
3:46
The shortbread recipe says it'll make like six dozen.
3:52
But you know, it just depends on how big and thick.
3:57
That's exactly right.
4:01
So hopefully these will spread out a little bit.
4:06
I may still have 'em little thick.
4:10
- [Theresa] I say stick with it.
4:12
- Stick with this thickness?
4:16
They're not going to spread out much.
4:30
You wanna make sure you keep your...
4:36
Yeah, that's, that might be a little better,
4:48
You know, I think I'm gonna do a couple of them big
4:54
and we'll just play with it.
4:56
Y'all, I decided to use two different biscuit cutters.
5:01
You know, at first thought this was too big
5:03
and then I do this and I think it's too little
5:05
'cause there's a good bit of decoration
5:07
that goes on each of these cookies.
5:08
So I wanna make sure that they have enough room.
5:11
So I've done two different sizes
5:14
and then we'll judge.
5:17
Our cookies look beautiful.
5:20
Now this is a small one.
5:25
This is the large one.
5:29
So I think we've just about decided
5:34
on the large, I don't know.
5:38
I think I will try decorating these a little bit, you know,
5:43
before we put the next ones in the oven.
5:45
What y'all think about that?
5:47
Y'all, I'm trying to get my royal icing.
5:55
You know, you buy this at the store
6:02
and I'm gonna have to keep adding
6:05
a little hot water to it
6:12
because it gets hard real quick.
6:16
- [Theresa] You might need to do all the icing first.
6:19
- I don't know. I'm afraid that...
6:20
- [Theresa] I think you should do every ice...
6:22
- I don't know, I'm afraid,
6:24
Theresa that the things won't stick to it then.
6:31
Alright, do y'all got what we are doing?
6:36
Y'all got what we are making? Where's the rest of our stuff?
6:41
- [Theresa] Next to you. Right there.
6:44
There's your M&Ms. - Okay.
6:47
- [Theresa] There's your black gel in front of your icing.
6:52
And I would recommend,
6:57
I would recommend, alright,
7:00
we wanna pick two oranges for the buttons.
7:07
And I would recommend,
7:09
I'm using a black pen
7:19
and I'm gonna do this for his eyes.
7:25
I'm going to do an orange candy
7:31
Uh-uh! Isn't that cute?
7:35
Look, he's coming y'all, he's coming along.
7:39
Now we have to do his arms and his legs.
7:56
Here it goes his arms
8:05
- [Theresa] Oh, those are cute.
8:15
So cute. Him doesn't have a hat though.
8:19
All right. - [Theresa] Well he's melting.
8:21
- Yeah, that's right.
8:23
Alright, I have a picture
8:25
of what they're supposed to look like for you.
8:28
Alright, now I did not put
8:33
a black dot for his mouth.
8:34
I'm gonna go back and do that.
8:37
- [Theresa] I think that's adorable.
8:39
- [Paula] It is. It's adorable.
8:43
But like I said, you're gonna have to,
8:45
- [Theresa] Well, Paula, what you could also do is,
8:49
since the really thing that sticks is the marshmallow,
8:52
you could just put a little bit of,
8:54
as you put the marshmallow on,
8:55
you could just put a little bit of that
8:56
on the bottom of the marshmallow and stick it.
9:02
I'm just gonna stir in that hot water that I added.
9:08
I mean around the edges, it's like concrete, y'all.
9:15
And I would like for it to pour like naturally,
9:19
like him naturally melting.
9:25
All right, so we're going to see.
9:28
Yeah, I like that thickness better.
9:34
Come on, you gonna melt the little man away?
9:39
Yes. Much, much better.
9:44
- [Theresa] Just takes time.
9:46
- Now we're going to do his two little eyes
9:52
and his little mouth.
9:57
Oh, he got his lipstick outta line. (laughing)
10:01
- [Theresa] Welcome to being a woman.
10:03
- You should have been a man, snowman.
10:11
I love that little candy for his nose.
10:15
- [Theresa] Oh, that looks cute.
10:17
- And these have peanuts in 'em, don't they?
10:19
- [Theresa] Some of 'em, there's some mixed.
10:22
- Oh, okay. Well I'm going to find.
10:25
- [Theresa] You like nuts?
10:26
- I do like nuts, but on here he works better
10:41
I wish I could figure out something for his hair, you know?
10:46
- [Theresa] It's just gonna melt off.
10:51
- Well, I gave them feet and they didn't. (laughing)
10:55
- [Theresa] I was going, I wondered why you were doing?
10:58
- Because snowman don't have feet,
11:09
- [Theresa] They don't.
11:16
and then we'll come back and show them art work.
11:19
(Paula laughing) That sound good?
11:20
- It looks like the snowman has a spider on him, doesn't it?
11:27
What do y'all think? (laughing)
11:31
I really, I think they're so cute.
11:34
And I think the kids would have a ball
11:37
putting all this together.
11:40
Eddie put some hair on some, little cap.
11:43
Little cap on some of them.
11:46
And instead of doing the M&Ms,
11:48
he used the black to make 'em buttons.
11:52
But you can do 'em any way you want to
11:54
and I think they're so, so cute.
11:58
And of course I know the cookie's good
12:00
because that's my...
12:07
So tea cake recipe that I've been making for years.
12:11
So we know that's good.
12:13
And I actually had one
12:17
that we tested to see what size, and you know what?
12:22
I think all three of us decided
12:24
we like the smaller ones better.
12:26
And I don't know if we have any smaller ones.
12:30
Maybe that one's smaller and that one.
12:33
Yeah, we like the smaller cookie cutter.
12:43
I think he looks a little better than him though.
12:47
What y'all think? I am impatient. (laughing)
12:52
Merry Christmas. Whatever snowmen say.
12:58
They say they love you and they'll be back next winter.
