It's that time of year, y'all
0:02
I sent out a message to y'all, please send me your favorite cookie
0:08
Christmas cookie recipe. And y'all did. And for that, I thank y'all so, so much
0:15
Well, I got a recipe that sounds absolutely so good. It's not your standard, you know, drop cookie, y'all
0:23
It was sent to me from Elisa Dannek. but the name of it is Oma's cookie jar
0:34
And I'm assuming that that's Oma. I'm not sure. I'm not sure
0:40
They didn't write a note or anything. They just sent the rest
0:43
That could be Alicia. If Alicia isn't there. Yeah, it could be Alicia. She said that smell from the kitchen is magical
0:52
So I am making her praline shortbread. That's what it's gonna look like with any look
1:04
Doesn't that look delicious? Like I said, not your typical drop cookie
1:08
So I am going to start, I'm gonna start, let's see, we've got some coffee grounds and it is
1:20
let me see how much. That's a tablespoon. Tablespoon of coffee grounds
1:25
And I'm gonna add a teaspoon of hot water to it and let it sit while you do. Yes, that's good, that's good
1:30
And you can get the hot water out of them. Mm-hmm, and it'll be so hot
1:36
So we're gonna let that sit for a couple of minutes, and then we're gonna discard the grounds on that
1:43
But to start the cookie, I'm gonna create one stick of butter, I think it's a tablespoon
1:50
two tablespoons of creamy peanut butter, and then I'm gonna be adding our sugar and our vanilla
1:59
And then to that, I'm gonna be adding cornstarch, that's two thirds of a cup, and
2:07
no, that's our flour, one and two thirds of a cup, and then our cornstarch, which is two thirds of a cup
2:17
So let me get started. Alicia, I wish I knew who I was talking to
2:26
Uma or Alicia. Anyway, I thank you. All right, so we just gonna put that together
2:38
until it's kinda creamy. Okay, we've got that cream together. Now I'm gonna add my sugar
2:48
or Uma's sugar. And I'm gonna add a teaspoon of vanilla. Ooh, I'm bound out, so we'll just do it all
2:58
How about that? Better safe than sorry. Corn starch
3:18
Flour. mix. I think it's time to drain our coffee
3:36
and it sure didn't produce much liquid at all, but hopefully the coffee flavor
3:50
Hopefully we got enough of the coffee flavor. I can't remember how long Alicia said just to
4:04
about four minutes Maybe it was that long Anyway not a bunch of liquid but hopefully it enough to give it a good coffee flavor
4:14
I wanna go back over her recipe and make sure I hadn't left anything out
4:18
because this looks awfully, awfully, don't look like cookie dough, y'all. So let me just make sure
4:29
All right, I had a teaspoon, That was supposed to be a tablespoon of coffee
4:34
It was. Yeah, and a teaspoon mixed together and set aside. Eight tablespoons of butter, two tablespoons of peanut butter
4:42
half a cup of sugar, two thirds cup of cornstarch, one and two thirds cup of flour
4:48
and one teaspoon of vanilla. And then add the flour and blend well
4:57
Line a nine inch square pan with parchment and then spray, press cookie mixture into the pan
5:05
then dock it, I've never heard that expression, and in parentheses, use a fork to punch holes
5:11
all over the top of the dough. What would you like to add more to
5:20
I can tell you need, is that butter? Well, I don't know, I don't know
5:25
I've never seen a cookie dough quite so dry. Okay, it's looking more like a dough now
5:36
So I'm just gonna keep on using my hands, the warmth of my hands
5:43
Hopefully we'll break down the butter. Okay. So I just wanted to double check y'all
5:52
So I put everything that Uma says to put in it. So now I'm gonna spray my parchment paper
6:02
And I don't know why she recommended that, but I'm sure it will
6:07
time will tell us why she did it. All right, she said to just press our dough
6:15
Have y'all ever heard of the description to dock it? I have not
6:21
Have you ever heard of that, baby? That sounds northern to me
6:25
I know, but it doesn't mean to me. I don't know if that even... Where is Alicia from
6:32
She didn't talk so much. Maybe she'll send us, hopefully after this airs
6:36
she'll send us more info. Alicia, girl, you like talking, honey. But that recipe talked to me. Uh-huh
6:44
Let me bring this thing down where it's not so high. Okay
6:51
So we are gonna put a topping on this, y'all. After this cooks, we're gonna let it cool completely
7:05
And then we're gonna put a praline topping on top of it
7:10
And that's really gonna moisten this bar cookie up and send us into hog heaven
7:22
I'm thinking, I'm thinking. I love to know what other people are doing
7:40
So I so appreciate y'all sharing your recipes with me and the rest of the world
7:51
Because your favorite cookie recipe might just become ours. as well. All right, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna, I'm gonna put just a little butter
8:09
on my hands and see if that will help me stick it out
8:29
Okay. Now we're gonna put this in. I'll get that for you
8:36
A preheated oven, thank you, thank you. The more I touch, the more it
8:47
Let's see, did you grab the recipe, Teresa? I did, it's 3.50 and it says 20 minutes
8:52
So it's time to finish off our praline shortbread cookies. And these are the ones that's gonna be cut
8:59
into bar shapes, y'all. And you can see, you remember how stiff that was
9:04
and I really had to press hard. It reminds me of lemon bars
9:08
You know how you really have to press that crust down in there
9:12
This was kind of the same way. So we got to finish those off and to do that
9:17
I'm gonna need a stick and a half of butter. And I ran out of pecans, y'all
9:28
So the first half a cup is pecans and the top half is walnuts
9:35
A nut is a nut is a nut. So, Alicia Davis, no, Alicia Danik
9:50
sent this recipe in to all of us and she calls it Olmos, Olmos recipe
9:58
And she said to put the butter and the sugar and the syrup into a saucepan and bring to a ball
10:05
And then turn down to a simmer and simmer for five minutes, stirring very often
10:10
Remove from heating and stirring the nuts, y'all. And pour over the top of the completely cooled cookie
10:20
Okay, so let's go. Start melting this. And I need some white syrup
10:31
So I'm gonna spray this so the syrup will come out of my spoon
10:38
So it'll just roll out. And this stuff is pouring like syrup
10:50
Slow, slow. All right, that's one. I used to love this kind of syrup
11:01
on my pancakes and waffles. When I was a little girl, yeah
11:06
Ooh, that's really sweet. Uh-huh. That's how it turned out so sweet
11:16
Did you get Teresa's face on that one, Eddie? I don't think she believes me
11:23
Of course we do. All right. So we're gonna bring this to a bowl
11:32
and stir it often for about five minutes. Then we're gonna add those nuts
11:38
and then we're gonna pour this over that incredible shortbread crust. Yum
11:47
It's been simmering for five minutes and I know it didn't call for vanilla
11:54
but you know, it's just hard for me not to use vanilla
11:58
so you don't have to do it. All right, we're just half nuts today
12:04
half pecans, half walnuts. And so we're gonna stir those in, and we're gonna pour this on top of our shortbread cookies
12:14
Now the recipe asks for strictly pecans but we like walnuts So that another change that we make Yeah I love yes I love a walnut Love love love a walnut
12:28
Of course, pecans, you know that. I mean, that's that George's pecan capital of the world
12:34
So, all right, we're gonna just take this and pour this on top
12:48
You gotta love it. 12 days of Christmas cookies. Huh? They keep making us wait
12:56
because now we have to wait till it cools. I know. So it's gonna be a good while
13:02
It's gonna be a good while for this puppy's cool. And she says to spread it out evenly
13:15
over your shortbread cookie. Wow. Yeah, Teresa, I bet you'll be gone by the time I
13:26
I will be, but I'll be back tomorrow. By the time I had this cool enough for us to sample
13:35
Look at that. See, it's already starting to get hard. That praline
13:39
And those are the same ingredients that I start putting in the pot
13:45
when I make my pralines from scratch. Alicia, I've been waiting patiently for this to cool
13:53
and they look fabulous. So I'm gonna do just as you said do
13:59
I'm gonna cut them in finger shapes. Look at that. Whoa. And
14:11
So I'm cutting them, I'm trying to cut them like an inch
14:22
Bye. Bye fat. Looks good. Alicia, they look wonderful. Oh my
14:32
praline cream cheese, praline cookies. Praline short. Mm-hmm, praline is so bad
14:38
No cream cheese. No cream. Wow. At least I've never had anything like it
15:01
But I will make this again. It's out of this world. The praline topping is wonderful
15:15
I might cut them almost in little squares like that because that praline topping is rich
15:22
You know, and I love rich man and rich food. I'm kidding about the rich man
15:35
Never ran up on a rich one. It is so good
15:45
It doesn't look as Christmassy as, you know, some of the cookies that we tend to kind of decorate just for Christmas
15:53
But what a wonderful addition this would make to your, along with your typical Christmas cookies
16:02
Thank you so much, Alicia, for sending it. Y'all must try. Eddie, you ready to try
