0:00
- Can y'all tell what time it is?
0:04
Look at all this red y'all.
0:07
Isn't that the cutest cake plate?
0:11
- [Eddie] I think you said Debbie, Debbie.
0:13
- Yes. That's exactly right.
0:17
My daughter-in-law's mother, Debbie, gave this to me
0:21
for Christmas and I thought it was so cute.
0:24
And we're gonna use it today, y'all,
0:26
because I'm making a gooey,
0:27
a vanilla gooey butter cake cookie.
0:31
And the only thing that I would recommend for y'all
0:37
is this is a soft cookie.
0:39
If you like soft cookies, you're really gonna like it.
0:42
But if you like crispy cookies,
0:45
you might wanna stay away from this.
0:47
And this needs to be served on the day
0:49
that you bake 'em. really,
0:53
unless you put them in a real airtight container.
1:01
May last for a couple of days,
1:02
but wait until you're having that party to make these, okay?
1:09
Alright, so we're gonna start by creaming our cream cheese
1:14
and our butter until it's nice and creamy.
1:26
All right, now I'm gonna add a teaspoon of vanilla extract,
1:35
If you are wanting to give vanilla extract
1:39
as a Christmas gift to your friends,
1:43
you better step on it
1:46
because it needs to sit for a while
1:52
to really get its full flavor.
1:57
(hand mixer rattling)
2:08
it's basically the same ingredients
2:11
as our gooey butter cake.
2:12
We just doing 'em in a little different form.
2:17
One box of vanilla cake mix.
2:30
So this is really like, you know, the gooey butter cake,
2:35
how you do your base.
2:38
This is basically the base
2:42
that we gonna form into Christmas cookies.
2:44
And this is the first Christmas cookie
2:50
of the 12th Christmas cookies of Christmas.
2:55
Did y'all understand what I just said?
2:58
'Cause I'm not sure I did.
3:00
But we are starting the 12 days of Christmas cookies,
3:02
and this is the first one
3:05
in honor of our gooey butter cakes.
3:07
- [Theresa] Which is still,
3:08
gets so many rave reviews on that.
3:12
I don't know if y'all heard what Theresa said, but.
3:15
- [Theresa] It gets rave reviews.
3:17
So it's actually, the reason why we pick this one is because
3:21
we're kind of known for.
3:22
- Yeah, kind of known for that gooey butter cake.
3:26
All right, now you can see this is sticky.
3:29
So, we are gonna put it in the refrigerator
3:32
for a couple hours, because we gonna roll this into balls
3:37
and then we gonna roll it in confection sugar.
3:42
So, I will be right back.
3:48
our gooey butter cake cookies is nice
3:53
Now, I'm gonna make 'em into like tablespoon size,
4:04
and I may ask Theresa to come over here
4:06
and help me ball these up.
4:08
'Cause it's gonna get
4:20
the butter's gonna start to get soft again
4:24
So, might wanna recruit some help for this one.
4:31
I'm glad Theresa jumped in here to help
4:33
because our dough is starting to get soft
4:37
and you know, when you put it in your hands
4:39
and your body heat and all that stuff.
4:43
So you may wanna leave half of it in the refrigerator.
4:49
And you'll notice that I love
4:52
these whole sheets of parchment paper that fit
4:58
into your baking sheets.
5:04
It makes it so much easier.
5:12
12 minutes on these beautiful cookies.
5:15
And now remember, they're soft.
5:17
You don't have to add any more kind of sugar,
5:18
but you know me, I wanted snowballs.
5:35
they're a soft cookie.
5:39
If you're not gonna eat them today,
5:43
make sure you secure 'em.
5:55
I swear, Eddie, I think I'll eat gooey butter cake,
6:09
Merry Christmas y'all.
