- Oh my goodness, I just fell in love
0:04
with this cookie recipe that was sent in to me
0:07
just reading the title.
0:09
The name of this cookie is Sunflower Seed Cookies.
0:16
I don't think I've ever made a cookie using sunflower
0:20
so I'm so excited about that
0:23
and would you do me a favor, Theresa?
0:26
- Would you like me to add the two tablespoons?
0:28
- Yeah, two tablespoons of hot water
0:30
out of the water machine. - Absolutely.
0:32
- Thank you, yes, I sure will.
0:36
- Because we're gonna be using baking soda
0:41
and the directions say to mix two tablespoons of water
0:46
and then just set it aside until you're ready for it.
0:49
But anyway, let's get onto the good stuff.
0:53
This was sent in by Shirley Daily and she lives in,
1:00
I think this name makes me laugh, Chilliwack.
1:05
Have you ever heard of that, Eddie, Chilliwack, BC, Canada.
1:12
And she said, "attached is my favorite cookie recipe.
1:17
I have won some blue ribbons at the fair with this.
1:21
Love your shows and all your delicious recipes."
1:24
Well, thank you so much, Shirley,
1:26
for sharing with us your all time favorite cookie.
1:30
We thank you so much because, because you're sharing it,
1:36
there's gonna be a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of people
1:40
that get to enjoy your favorite cookie.
1:42
So thank you for sharing.
1:47
I hope this recipe has enough butter, y'all.
1:51
It's four sticks of butter.
2:10
And don't think I'm not gonna get every bit of it too.
2:14
I want everything that's odious.
2:17
So we're gonna cream our butter
2:19
and I'm gonna just cream this just for a second.
2:24
Look at that nice beautiful soft butter.
2:36
All right, now I'm gonna cream my butter
2:38
with our white sugar.
2:58
This is a great start for a cookie.
3:01
You know, I've got one recipe that, thank you,
3:07
I got one recipe that calls for a whole pound of butter
3:17
and that's Maggie's Decadent Brownies.
3:20
A school teacher and friend of ours
3:24
who was like maybe three years older
3:29
than us girls in our senior year.
3:34
Yes, just one teaspoon.
3:40
That's a lot of stuff.
3:47
But that recipe is unbelievable, Maggie's Decadent Brownies
3:54
and Maggie just passed away from Alzheimer's.
3:57
- [Theresa] I make those all the time.
4:00
Well, they're delicious.
4:02
All right, "cream margarine, sugar, salt, vanilla, eggs
4:04
and baking soda mixture."
4:07
So Theresa put the hot water.
4:15
She mixed it with our baking soda.
4:17
Like it didn't all wanna dissolve.
4:24
Some left in the cracks down there.
4:28
I remember when my daddy would have indigestion,
4:36
he would take baking soda at night.
4:47
I think we're all right right now.
4:52
I think we got a handle on this cookie.
4:55
Now we're gonna mix all our dry ingredients
5:01
which would be our flour, our oat bran
5:09
and I've never used this product, y'all, oat bran.
5:13
Have you ever used it, Theresa?
5:14
- [Theresa] I have not. - Have you, Eddie?
5:17
- I don't know what the difference is.
5:19
So that would be our two oatmeals
5:24
and I'm not even asking Darlene 'cause I know she ain't.
5:28
No, I didn't ask you.
5:31
Sometimes Darlene has a hard time
5:33
finding her way to the kitchen.
5:37
Okay, our oat bran is going in, our oatmeal is going in.
5:52
I think it would be all right to use a mixture,
5:54
the mixer on this mixture.
6:02
Usually when I make oatmeal cookies,
6:04
I think I just stir that in
6:06
but this is a thick cookie batter and we ain't done yet.
6:14
Oh my goodness, is my grandbaby here?
6:24
Oh, I got to stop, y'all.
6:26
I got to stop, just one second.
6:29
You can see the cutest little fella in the whole wide world.
6:33
Are you hiding behind the door?
6:35
Are you hiding from your guinea?
6:43
Davis, come out, come out wherever you are.
6:50
I thought he was there.
6:54
- [Theresa] Oh, she doesn't know.
6:58
- He always goes straight to the candy dishes.
7:09
Why were you hiding from me?
7:12
- [Brooke] Go give her a hug.
7:13
- Why were you hiding from me?
7:19
So you better come see me.
7:20
- [Brooke] Better go see her.
7:26
- [Paula] Mommy will hug me.
7:30
- [Paula] Will Davis hug me?
7:35
That is just so sweet.
7:42
You are so stinking cute.
7:46
And your grandma guinea loves you.
7:51
All right, I'm making cookies, Davis.
7:53
I'm making our Christmas cookies
7:55
and they're sunflower seed cookies.
7:58
Now I've gotten everything in it, our oat bran, our oatmeal
8:03
and now I'm just stirring in the dry ingredients
8:05
so look at those sunflower seeds.
8:06
Don't they look wonderful?
8:17
I need a big strong man to stir all this up for me.
8:22
- [Davis] I do. - Me too.
8:24
So that's what's going in next.
8:30
I bet you don't like this, chocolate chips.
8:35
You like chocolate chips?
8:38
- I like the chocolate chips.
8:41
- [Paula] I know you do.
8:43
I know that you do, baby.
8:45
Miss Shirley said to drop these by the teaspoonful
8:51
- [Eddie] This is gonna make a million cookies.
8:53
- Like one truckload of cookies.
8:57
Okay, I'm gonna get these in the oven pretty quick like.
9:01
Let's see, she said, "put 'em in a 350 degree oven
9:05
and cook 'em up for about 10 to 12 minutes" but-
9:08
- [Davis] Tra, tra, transform.
9:13
- [Paula] Yeah. - [Eddie] Transformer.
9:17
You and Linton love those, don't ya?
9:20
Okay, Theresa's gonna keep dipping 'em up for me.
9:24
Now I cooked one batch to just see what a teaspoon makes
9:30
and that's just a nice sized little cookie.
9:33
So look at that bowl.
9:35
Still got a lot of cookie dough in it.
9:37
- [Eddie] Yeah especially if you're doing a cookie swap,
9:39
this makes a good amount.
9:41
- Yes and we're even talking about
9:44
maybe putting that dough into the freezer
9:48
and maybe baking 'em off like Christmas Eve, you know,
9:53
and serve warm cookies to everybody.
9:58
Okay, so that size cookie in my oven,
10:03
I cooked it for eight minutes and they look perfect.
10:22
Let me know how you like that one with the seeds in it.
10:25
- You know, I don't really like warm cookies.
10:27
I like my cookies cold.
10:32
- [Paula] But that's good. - And it has sunflower seeds?
10:36
Mm mm mm. - That is good.
10:38
- Shirley, I can see why you won blue ribbons
10:44
with this cookie recipe.
10:46
This is a sunflower seed cookie and it's so good.
10:51
And Shirley Daily from Chilliwack,
10:58
Chilliwack, Canada sent this to us
11:01
and so I thank you girl for sharing it with us.
