I'm really excited about baking this cookie for y'all
0:08
because it's a salted caramel cookie
0:13
and I love salted caramel and I hope y'all do too.
0:19
It's a basic cookie recipe.
0:21
It's gonna be real easy.
0:23
Now, I've got my flour here
0:25
and I've got my salt like a fourth a teaspoon
0:30
and a little baking powder and it said to sift it
0:37
so this is how I'm gonna sift today, y'all.
0:42
It's gonna work just as well as pulling out that sifter
0:49
in getting flour everywhere.
0:57
All right, now for the good part.
1:03
Two sticks of butter.
1:07
And I've got a half a cup of confectioner sugar
1:13
and a teaspoon of vanilla.
1:17
And we're just gonna beat that until it's creamy.
1:27
Caramel deserves a little bit more vanilla flavor.
1:39
Shut my cord up in the drawer.
1:42
All right, now I'm gonna beat in one egg yolk.
1:51
I folded it around and I broke that yolk.
1:53
That's all right 'cause we gonna mix it up.
2:03
Now we're gonna slowly add our flour, salt
2:08
and baking powder to it.
2:16
Now, this is a sticky, sticky dough so I'm gonna cover this
2:23
and let it sit for one hour in the refrigerator
2:28
and then it'll be more workable.
2:38
Our dough sat in the refrigerator for an hour
2:45
and I've done it up into like one inch balls
2:53
and now I'm making an indention in the center
2:58
because remember, these are gonna have
2:59
a good old surprise in 'em.
3:08
So that dough is gonna be really,
3:13
after it sits in the refrigerator, it's gonna be really hard
3:20
but when you start rolling it with your little warm hands,
3:26
it'll soften up pretty quick.
3:29
I think I'm gonna make these a little bit bigger.
3:34
It made, how many did I say, 28 cookies.
3:42
So I've made an indention in each of 'em.
3:48
We're gonna cook these for eight minutes, y'all
3:50
then I'm gonna pull 'em out
3:52
and I'm gonna put a caramel in the center of each one of 'em
3:57
and do I salt it that time?
4:00
- [Theresa] No, after we pull 'em back out.
4:01
- After we pull 'em back out then gonna sprinkle 'em.
4:03
Remember I got that tablespoon of salt over there.
4:10
Had a little bit left on my hands so in the oven.
4:14
350 I think, right, Theresa?
4:18
- [Theresa] Yes, ma'am, eight minutes.
4:21
All right, it's been eight minutes, y'all.
4:26
So that little piece of caramel's getting dropped
4:28
right in our thumbprint.
4:34
And we gonna bake 'em for three to four more minutes.
4:39
My poor cousin George has been waiting on these all day long
4:47
and now he's gonna get 'em.
4:53
- I don't have to call him twice.
4:57
- [George] Okay, let's see 'em.
4:58
- [Paula] Which one do you want?
4:59
- [George] I want the big one for now.
5:02
- And this other big one for next.
5:06
Uh oh, they're not cool.
5:07
They hadn't cooled enough, have they?
5:10
- [George] But I bet they're warm and toasty.
5:12
- They're like shortbread.
5:16
You eat that one with a spoon.
5:21
- You like that? - Mhm.
5:25
- [Paula] And that salt just does the best trick,
5:32
- [George] Put those away before Theresa starts
5:35
adding some of those to her home.
5:39
- [Theresa] He's not even letting me take a couple home.
5:43
- [Theresa] He is being Scrooge.
5:45
- All right, there, just, look.
5:47
Pick up that plate and see, it's got that point on it?
5:51
- [George] No, no, no, no, I might stick me if I do that.
5:54
- I don't wanna take a chance on that.
6:02
- Might wanna let 'em cool.
6:04
- I'm gonna let 'em cool.
6:04
I'm gonna let those cool.
6:07
- Okay and make sure that you let these cool completely
6:11
while they're on the pan so we don't have to take these up
6:15
and put 'em on a cookie thing.
6:23
Y'all know what I'm saying, one of them wire racks.
6:26
So this is day seven?
6:30
- [Theresa] No, this is the finish up of day five.
6:36
Day five, my friend. - Good.
6:38
So that means I've got seven more cookies to make.
6:42
Right? - [Theresa] Yep.
6:46
- I'm in it to win it.
6:48
Merry Christmas, y'all.
