0:00
- Y'all, it won't be in this order,
0:03
but this is the 12th recipe for Christmas cookies.
0:10
And I thank y'all all so much.
0:12
So y'all contributed 11 and I contributed one.
0:17
- [Assistant] No, you contributed two.
0:19
- Two. What was the other one I did?
0:20
I know the- - Loaded oatmeal.
0:21
- Oh yeah, the loaded oatmeal cookies.
0:24
Yeah, so I did two and y'all did 10.
0:26
And for that, I thank y'all so much.
0:29
All topnotch recipes. Topnotch, y'all.
0:34
All right, so I want to thank Marita Barton
0:39
for that last recipe.
0:41
And she mailed this to me one night at midnight. (laughs)
0:45
So you sound like me on some kind of equipment late.
0:51
All right, I didn't even know
0:52
this was a product that was out there.
0:57
Jiffy Cornbread Cake Mix.
1:00
I didn't know Jiffy had a cake mix. I did not know it.
1:05
And she said, "Nothing else will work but Jiffy cake mix.
1:09
This recipe will not work." (laughs)
1:13
So we wanna make sure that we do Marita's cookie right.
1:21
We wanna do it right for her. We wanna make her proud.
1:24
And talk about easy. Wow.
1:27
All right, so she tells us we need one box of Jiffy Cake Mix
1:32
and this is the only one that'll work.
1:34
One egg, three tablespoons of vegetable oil,
1:39
and eight candied orange slices chopped, 3/4 a cup of nuts.
1:45
Okay, she says, "Chop the orange slices into smaller pieces.
1:49
Mix cake mix, egg, and oil together."
1:53
So that's what we're gonna do. In goes the cake mix.
1:57
I always thought that cornbread tasted just like cake,
2:01
you know, 'cause it's so sweet.
2:28
Okey-doke, and the oil.
2:31
Does she say to do this with a hand mixer?
2:37
I don't know, but I'm gonna do that anyway.
2:41
- [Assistant] She doesn't say not to.
2:42
- Yeah, she doesn't say not to so let's do it
2:46
to make sure we got it mixed up real good.
2:50
Perfect, perfect, perfect.
2:55
It's gonna be a real thick cookie.
2:59
I love these little things right here. I love them.
3:05
So, looks like we've got too many, (laughs) so...
3:10
- [Assistant] Guess what? I have a bag for you.
3:17
And they're so sticky.
3:25
I think this is gonna be a great little cookie.
3:29
- [Crew Member] It's like you have a lot batter left on 'em.
3:30
- I know it does, which is so unlike me,
3:33
but I didn't wanna get my fingers messed up again.
3:38
Okay, so Marita doesn't tell us how big to make these,
3:42
but she does say it makes about two dozen cookies.
3:46
So I'm saying not two- - Must be tiny cookies.
3:50
And she said to bake 'em for
3:55
350 for about 15 minutes.
3:57
"Do not overbake," she tells us, "Do not overbake."
4:02
And that's the way I feel about my gooey butter cake recipe.
4:13
I'm gonna make it about that big,
4:21
and we'll see if I come up with two dozen.
4:28
exactly 24, two dozen.
4:38
Some of these look a little bigger than others,
4:42
but that's all right.
4:44
That is perfectly all right.
4:47
Hopefully they'll all cook perfectly.
4:50
That's the one thing about making sure your cookies
4:52
are all the same size, y'all.
4:54
'Cause if you just throw 'em on in,
4:56
you don't care what the size is,
4:59
you're gonna have some big ones that are not done
5:02
when the smaller ones are done.
5:03
So that's why it's important to try your hardest
5:07
to keep 'em the same size.
5:10
Marita, I like these cookies so much.
5:15
And you know what I really like about it,
5:18
is it doesn't make so many.
5:23
I mean, look how many cookies
5:24
I got to eat over here. (laughs)
5:27
But I love the sticky of the orange.
5:32
I love the nuts. I love the crispiness.
5:36
I will be making these cookies again
5:40
because they are delicious.
5:45
Love and best dishes, Marita, for helping me out
5:49
and sharing this with everybody out there
5:52
'cause I know they're gonna love it. (chuckles)
5:56
Mmm-mmm-mmm! Delicious.
