- Hey, y'all, I'm in the kitchen
0:02
with my favorite youngest son.
0:05
(laughing)
0:10
- That was very diplomatic.
0:12
You sound like my father-in-law Juan,
0:15
who tells me that I'm his favorite son-in-law.
0:19
- Oh, that's 'cause you the only son-in-law.
0:23
- And I'm also your only youngest son.
0:28
All right, this is confusing.
0:29
Hey everybody.
0:31
(crew laughing)
0:33
- So Bobby popped in on me earlier, y'all.
0:35
And it just so happens that I'm doing the 12 days
0:38
of Christmas cookies.
0:41
- Perfect timing.
0:42
- So as soon as Bobby walked in the door
0:43
I said "Oh, yay, would you help me?"
0:45
So he has been helping.
0:47
And you know what,
0:49
the recipe that I'm fixing to share with y'all
0:51
brings back a lot of memories concerning you
0:56
and your brother, Jamie.
0:57
- Yep, a little different.
0:58
- I made these two brothers chocolate gobs
1:03
was what I ended up calling them.
1:04
- God, they're so good.
1:06
- And I'd wrap 'em in saran wrap individual.
1:08
And it would make like 36.
1:11
It made a lot.
1:12
And I put them in the crisper--
1:14
- Fill the crisper bin.
1:14
- Yes.
1:16
- Down in the bottom of the refrigerator.
1:16
- And you and all your snotty nosed friends--
1:18
- And we'd raid that crisper drawer,
1:21
and we would eat those.
1:22
What did you call them?
1:24
And we didn't call them whoopie pies,
1:25
that's what they call them in Maine.
1:26
- No, two brothers chocolate gobs.
1:27
- Called 'em gob stoppers.
1:28
Not gob stoppers.
1:29
- Chocolate gobs.
1:30
- Chocolate gobs.
1:31
And it was just like the softest, most gooey, delicious
1:36
chocolate cake just filled with delicious sweet.
1:42
- Like fluffy--
1:44
- Cream.
1:45
- Yes.
1:46
- God, if I had known what I was eating then,
1:47
I would not have touched it, but they were so good.
1:50
Used to eat 'em by the bucketful.
1:52
- You were young,
1:53
and you didn't know that was gonna
1:54
become one of your sins.
1:57
- They're just the best.
1:58
- Yes.
1:59
- All right, so let's whip some, what do we do?
2:00
- So I'm not making the two brothers chocolate gobs,
2:03
but I am making our cousin Johnnie Gabriel's
2:07
red velvet whoopie pies.
2:11
Now let me tell y'all a little bit about my cousin, Johnnie.
2:14
She is the proprietor owner
2:17
of Gabriel's Bakery in Marietta, Georgia.
2:21
She is a beautiful woman, (indistinct).
2:25
You know, Johnnie just got married
2:27
in the last year.
2:28
- Oh.
2:29
- Remarried, yes.
2:30
And she sent me pictures.
2:33
And Bobby, she was gorgeous.
2:36
- Yeah, she's a pretty lady.
2:37
- Gorgeous.
2:38
- Very talented too.
2:39
She's got a great cake place.
2:40
- Oh my goodness.
2:41
Bakery like no other.
2:44
Her cakes are out of this world.
2:47
So--
2:48
- Where do we start?
2:49
- We're gonna make her chocolate Whoopie pie.
2:52
Now we're gonna start,
2:54
let's start--
2:55
- As luck would have it, there's a recipe right here.
2:59
Oh, and this is cousin Johnnie's recipe.
3:02
- Yes, yes.
3:03
Yes, that's what we're using.
3:04
- We're in for a treat,
3:06
'cause cousin Johnny makes her living making these cakes,
3:09
you understand?
3:10
She gets paid for that.
3:11
So this should be quite delicious.
3:12
- All right.
3:14
I don't believe--
3:15
- Three cups plus five tablespoons of all purpose flour.
3:19
- You know what though,
3:21
this recipe is a little confusing,
3:23
so I'm gonna ask Teresa to do this
3:28
a little different way for y'all.
3:32
You know, when you go on the website,
3:34
and go into that link.
3:35
- When they see the recipe
3:37
it'll be a little different.
3:37
- Yes.
3:38
- Okay.
3:39
- And I think I probably should have added,
3:40
was that--
3:41
- That was baking powder or baking soda?
3:42
Yeah, baking soda.
3:44
- I thought it looked like soda.
3:46
- [Bobby] That's what the recipe calls for.
3:47
- And a little cocoa,
3:49
because red velvet cake
3:52
has that little bit of chocolate.
3:55
You know how that little bit of chocolate flavor
3:58
comes in?
3:59
- [Bobby] Mm-hmm, I do.
4:00
Do you want me to add your oil?
4:02
- [Paula] All right, well let's do the sugar first.
4:06
- [Bobby] Okay, all right.
4:07
- [Paula] All right here, you do that.
4:08
And I'll crack the eggs,
4:09
and all that good stuff.
4:10
Then I'll add the oil for ya.
4:13
You know, it's the 12 days of Christmas cookies,
4:16
and I think I may have some ready
4:18
in the oven from something else.
4:21
- [Bobby] Mm-hmm, we were making some great cookies
4:23
just a few minutes ago.
4:23
- [Paula] Yes.
4:26
- [Bobby] You know, Jamie and I--
4:27
- [Paula] All right, so let me add your--
4:29
- [Bobby] Oil?
4:30
Yeah, that'll make it a little easier.
4:31
- [Eddie] Bobby, why don't you give
4:32
a quick read of some
4:34
of the ingredients that (indistinct).
4:36
- We can read them some
4:37
of the ingredients we've already added.
4:38
Three cups of all-purpose flour.
4:42
A teaspoon of baking soda.
4:44
Two teaspoons of cocoa powder.
4:46
And one and a half cups of canola oil.
4:50
(Paula laughing)
4:52
I'll do it.
4:53
Plus, a little,
4:54
we haven't added the vinegar yet,
4:55
but we're about to add some vinegar.
4:57
Jamie and I went up to Maine.
4:59
My brother and I had a televisions how back in 2006
5:02
called "Road Tasted,"
5:04
where we traveled all over the country.
5:07
And we really did.
5:09
We went from Seattle to Maine
5:12
to Texas to California,
5:15
and just everywhere in between.
5:18
And we saw just so much,
5:22
and met so many nice people.
5:24
And we did lots and lots of recipes.
5:26
And one of them--
5:26
- How much is the vinegar?
5:28
How much vinegar?
5:29
- whoopie pies.
5:31
One teaspoon of white vinegar.
5:32
- Okay.
5:33
- And one of them was whoopie pies up in Maine.
5:36
- Really?
5:37
- Mm-hmm, in Maine Whoopie pies are a big deal.
5:40
- [Eddie] New England, yes.
5:42
- And New England.
5:42
Okay, Eddie's from New Hampshire
5:44
so he knows what I'm talking about.
5:46
Speaking of New England,
5:48
the whole part of the country up there
5:51
is so beautiful.
5:52
- You know, I would love to get in the car, son,
5:54
and visit all those New England states.
6:02
All right, now Bobby,
6:03
what I'm fixing to add now
6:05
to make this a red velvet,
6:07
you wanna be careful because--
6:14
- [Bobby] A little bit goes a long way.
6:15
- Little bit goes a long way,
6:16
and look, I just picked up a jar,
6:21
a little kit that already had,
6:24
and it colored me all over.
6:26
All right son,
6:28
come over here son,
6:29
I think we're gonna have to,
6:32
I think we're gonna have to turn to the mixer
6:36
to get this mixed up right.
6:40
- [Bobby] We certainly got our whisk all clogged up.
6:43
- I know. (laughing)
6:44
just dig it out.
6:45
I'm sorry I didn't think about
6:50
passing you the mixer quicker.
6:53
- It's all right.
6:55
It can all be worked out and fixed.
6:58
It just takes a little time.
7:01
Speaking of driving all those states and visiting,
7:04
my wife, Claudia, and I went up to Vermont
7:07
a couple years ago, before our kids were born.
7:09
- Did you go to Ben and Jerry's?
7:12
- No, we didn't do that.
7:13
- Isn't that the state home of Ben and Jerry's?
7:16
- Not purposely 'cause we didn't wanna go,
7:18
we didn't see it.
7:19
We--
7:22
- All right, Bobby, stand back son.
7:29
- [Bobby] A little bit goes a long way.
7:32
- Whole bottle.
7:36
If we used any less it would be pink whoopie pies.
7:40
- [Bobby] Yeah, I guess so.
7:46
- [Paula] You wanna take your spatula
7:48
and go around the edge?
7:49
- [Bobby] So we went to--
7:51
- [Paula] But, again, now don't splash that on you.
7:56
Just loosen it from the edges so I can keep beating it.
7:59
- We went to Vermont,
8:01
and we flew into Burlington
8:02
and rented a car.
8:03
And we drove.
8:05
You know, Vermont's not that big a state.
8:06
- No, it's a small state.
8:08
- And we drove from Burlington
8:10
all the way up to the top
8:12
and back down,
8:13
and we just,
8:13
we went to different little restaurants.
8:16
- How many miles did y'all drive?
8:19
- I don't remember.
8:21
- The whole trip.
8:22
- It's not that big a state.
8:23
So it would be the equivalent
8:25
of driving from Savannah
8:27
to maybe Atlanta or Rome, Georgia.
8:31
You know, maybe five hours in the car.
8:33
Maybe four to five hours in the car
8:34
to get from Burlington.
8:35
- We hadn't added our vanilla to this.
8:36
- No, not yet.
8:37
- Okay, just maybe like a capful, son.
8:40
- So, but anyhow.
8:43
We drove from Burlington
8:45
up to the top of Vermont.
8:48
We drove up to Woodstock, Vermont,
8:50
is where we went.
8:51
- Is that like Woodstock
8:52
where Woodstock happened?
8:54
- No. - [Eddie] Yes.
8:55
- Is it?
8:56
- [Eddie] Yes.
8:57
- No, Woodstock was in New York, I thought.
8:58
- [Eddie] No, I think it was Vermont.
8:59
- In Woodstock, Vermont?
9:00
- [Eddie] I think so.
9:01
- I don't think you're right.
9:02
And I don't think you're right.
9:03
(Eddie laughing)
9:04
- I didn't say, I just asked.
9:06
- But there is a town called Woodstock in Vermont.
9:10
So we stayed there.
9:11
It's such a beautiful state.
9:16
- I just like the way it sounds, Vermont.
9:20
- Well, you know, I always wanted to go there.
9:23
I always wanted to go there because
9:25
I'm a big Ray Charles fan, right?
9:28
And I just love music in general.
9:30
And Ray Charles--
9:31
- But he's from Albany, Georgia.
9:34
(Paula giggling)
9:36
- There's a beautiful song
9:38
called "Moonlight in Vermont,"
9:39
that I'm sure other people did,
9:43
but Ray Charles sang it beautifully.
9:46
And it was such a romantic song.
9:47
And I always wanted to,
9:49
because of that song I always wanted to visit Vermont.
9:51
So we did it.
9:52
And I'm glad that we did.
9:56
- Well that was wonderful.
9:58
I remember y'all doing that.
10:00
- Yep, we did.
10:01
All of New England though is just so beautiful.
10:04
Just clean, the highways,
10:07
everything is just clean.
10:08
- All right, Bobby, how long does cousin Johnnie
10:11
say to make these?
10:13
- Cousin Johnnie says 20 minutes.
10:15
- Okay.
10:16
But how big does she suggest
10:18
you make 'em?
10:23
It'll be on the back I think.
10:30
- Drop the batter by teaspoons.
10:31
- [Paula] Teaspoons, okay.
10:33
- Allowing one inch in between drops.
10:35
As the cookies will spread.
10:38
You'll be making 48 cookies.
10:42
Bake until the cookies are firm,
10:44
but not crisp, about 12 minutes.
10:47
- Okay sonny boy.
10:48
- [Bobby] All right, so that's me.
10:49
- One teaspoon.
10:54
Now it's important that every cookie
10:56
for Whoopie pies be the same
10:59
because these are gonna be made into sandwiches.
11:03
So you can't have a whoopie pie this big
11:06
and then one this big
11:07
and put 'em together.
11:08
- [Bobby] Well this might be a good time for a break.
11:10
- [Paula] Yes.
11:12
And--
11:13
- [Bobby] Not doing it right?
11:14
Perfect, (indistinct) got me out of many a task.
11:16
(laughing)
11:21
- I'm in the kitchen here today
11:22
making these 12--
11:28
- [Eddie] 12 days of Christmas.
11:29
(laughing)
11:30
- 12 days of Christmas cookies.
11:32
- I'm gonna let you just sit in it.
11:33
- I know, you ain't helping me
11:34
you little butt hole.
11:36
- Spit on my mouth.
11:37
- I spit on your mouth?
11:38
- Sure did.
11:39
- That's 'cause these pretty teeth
11:40
of mine must be getting loose.
11:42
- They might be.
11:43
(laughing)
11:45
Oh my gosh.
11:47
Wow.
11:50
- You hadn't seen,
11:52
you hadn't seen.
11:53
- Hadn't seen the bowl.
11:54
No, I'm joking,
11:56
but that is super nice looking.
11:57
- Isn't it good looking?
11:59
- This is your line?
11:59
- I love melamine or melmac.
12:01
We used to call it melmac when you were a baby.
12:04
But, yes, this is my newest design.
12:08
And I do love it.
12:10
You can't break it.
12:11
- [Bobby] It's pretty.
12:12
- It's got that rubber bottom so it won't dance.
12:14
- [Bobby] It's like a football helmet.
12:15
- Yes, well, (indistinct).
12:17
(laughing)
12:20
- Should I go run into the wall.
12:21
See if I can crack something.
12:24
(laughing)
12:26
- Is your head clean?
12:28
- As clean as anybody else's I guess.
12:32
It's fresh showered.
12:34
- Oh good, okay that's all I need to know.
12:35
All right, so Bobby's gonna have to leave,
12:38
he's got another appointment to go to.
12:40
- Another appointment?
12:41
You're not an appointment.
12:43
This is not an appointment.
12:44
- You're so important that you got appointments.
12:47
- That's me.
12:48
- All right, so we're gonna
12:49
go ahead and make the filling real quick
12:51
to these whoopie pies,
12:52
'cause I have a feeling
12:53
you're not gonna be here to stuff them with me.
12:55
- No, I'm not gonna be, no.
12:56
- All right so we are gonna take--
12:59
- Why so little butter?
13:01
- That's not butter.
13:02
This is solid shortening,
13:04
and it's butter flavored.
13:06
Because to make the insides of any kind of whoopie pie
13:11
you have to have that.
13:12
All right, Bobby, if you would start creaming.
13:14
- It looks like butter.
13:16
- If you would start creaming that please, son.
13:20
- It's an awful short cord you got on your mixer.
13:22
- I know, it is.
13:25
- It's about like the leash
13:27
that Claudia keeps me on.
13:29
(Paula laughing)
13:34
He's kidding.
13:39
Are you a husband?
13:40
- I certainly am, a good one.
13:42
- That's the way we do it.
13:44
- A fine one.
13:45
- That's the way us girls--
13:46
- You gotta keep the good ones (indistinct)
13:48
the house, don't you,
13:48
so they don't get away from you?
13:50
- That's right.
13:51
(laughing)
13:57
I mean cousin Johnnie makes hers really tiny.
14:01
- How'd they come out?
14:04
- Beautiful.
14:05
- Oh my gosh, those are beautiful.
14:07
Yeah, these are small whoopie pies
14:08
those are bite size.
14:11
- Yes, they're a two-bite whoopie.
14:16
So y'all can see why I said
14:18
it's very, very important
14:19
that they're all the same size, right?
14:23
- [Bobby] Yes, ma'am.
14:25
I think that's pretty well creamed.
14:26
- Yes, yes, yes.
14:27
Now let's cream our
14:33
sugar, let's put our sugar in.
14:37
- All at once?
14:37
Is there a technique to this or just go?
14:39
- No, you can go ahead
14:40
and put it all in.
14:46
- [Bobby] Okay.
14:51
- [Paula] Whisk, whisk, whisk.
14:52
Do you remember doing that?
14:54
- [Bobby] Yes. (laughing)
15:03
All right, what's next?
15:17
- Okay you can kind of slow down your speed, son.
15:22
- I stopped. (laughing)
15:24
I slowed way down.
15:25
- You did slow way down.
15:26
All right so what we're gonna do now
15:30
is we're gonna add our flour into our saucepan,
15:35
and we're gonna slowly, slowly add the milk,
15:43
so it won't lump.
15:45
- What kind of milk are you using?
15:47
- Just a regular whole milk, sweet milk.
15:51
- [Bobby] Do I need to still go slow?
15:52
- Yes, just give me a chance to get it incorporated,
15:57
'cause you wanna make sure you do this nice and slow
16:00
so your flour won't be in clumps.
16:05
'Cause nobody wants to bite into a Whoopie--
16:07
- [Bobby] A clumpy Whoopie pie.
16:09
- I started to say a Whoopie cushion. (laughing)
16:12
- [Bobby] Nobody wants to bite into those either.
16:14
- A Whoopie pie.
16:15
- Nobody wants a clumpy Whoopie.
16:17
- No. (laughing)
16:19
So you just wanna do that slow
16:22
so you can--
16:23
- You ready for this one, mom?
16:28
- I think you might be safe
16:30
to go ahead and put it all in, son.
16:36
Okay so I'm gonna,
16:39
we're gonna turn that on,
16:44
and if you would stir that please,
16:48
until it's thickened.
16:49
We probably need about three minutes cooking that
16:53
because this is gonna act as the paste
16:58
between our Whoopie pies.
17:11
Bobby, would you look in that oven
17:13
and see if we have anymore cookies in there?
17:15
I can't remember.
17:16
- [Bobby] Nope, all done.
17:18
- All done.
17:19
- [Bobby] All done.
17:20
- Listen, speaking of all done,
17:23
that's what his babies say y'all,
17:25
if they don't wanna do something,
17:30
all done.
17:30
- [Bobby] No.
17:33
- Oh, they're so cute when they do that.
17:35
- [Bobby] It ain't gonna be so cute
17:37
later on when they're big.
17:38
- I know it. (laughing)
17:42
When they tell you--
17:44
- No, all done.
17:46
- They call Bobby papa.
17:49
So we're gonna let this cook for about three minutes.
17:52
- Wow, that's happening pretty quick.
17:54
- Oh yeah.
17:55
The darn flour and little bit of milk.
17:57
So we're gonna let this cook
17:59
for about three minutes.
18:00
Bobby, you feel free to pick that thing up
18:04
and whisk away.
18:05
We're gonna keep it on the fire, baby, yeah.
18:11
So we're gonna have to let this cool completely y'all
18:15
because we are gonna be adding it to our sugar,
18:20
butter and solid shortening.
18:24
So if we mix it while it's hot
18:27
it would just melt all that.
18:29
So what I'm gonna do
18:30
is stick it in the refrigerator
18:34
and encourage you to cool
18:36
a little bit quicker.
18:38
And Bobby won't be here.
18:40
- No, I gotta go, but that's all right.
18:42
- Listen son, listen.
18:44
- Turn it off.
18:45
- Okay, I'll turn it off.
18:47
- All done, all done. (laughing)
18:50
- All right, so, Bobby.
18:51
- Yes, ma'am.
18:52
- I'm gonna get these frosted,
18:55
you will not be here.
18:56
- You can deliver them to my house.
18:57
- I was gonna say.
18:58
- At your house.
18:59
- Oh, I'm so happy Bobby has a guest house
19:03
fully furnished
19:04
and lets me and Michael hang our hat there.
19:07
- Ooh, it's so nice, we all live together
19:09
like a big ole' happy family.
19:11
- Yes.
19:11
And Sunday, it was just so wonderful.
19:14
You got the most beautiful yard of all of us.
19:16
- Everybody's gotta stay outside,
19:19
in the yard.
19:20
(laughing)
19:22
None of y'all are coming in my house.
19:24
- Y'all he's kidding.
19:26
- Well I'm kidding,
19:27
but right now nobody's coming in my house.
19:28
We're not doing that.
19:30
- Yeah, yeah.
19:30
- But it's a good thing the yard is beautiful
19:32
because everybody does,
19:33
and the weather's nice.
19:34
- Everybody loves to be in your yard.
19:36
- Don't they?
19:37
And near me.
19:38
(laughing)
19:40
Isn't that nice?
19:41
- You're almost getting as obnoxious
19:42
as my favorite oldest son. (laughing)
19:46
- I just realized that I was being very obnoxious.
19:48
- Yes, you are.
19:49
- But that's what family's for.
19:51
All right, I gotta go.
19:52
- Kick me, bruise me.
19:53
- I'll come back and make some more cookies,
19:56
'cause we got 12 days of Christmas going on.
19:58
We made two together today,
19:59
and I'll come back
20:00
and I'll make some more with you.
20:01
- Okay that would be great.
20:02
- I'll see y'all next time.
20:03
- We're making all those wonderful memories, remember?
20:06
- Mm-hmm, yeah.
20:07
- As long as,
20:08
you have my permission to leave.
20:10
- Thanks.
20:11
- As long as you let your babies
20:12
have one of our Whoopie pies.
20:14
- Oh, 100%.
20:15
Okay, bye everybody.
20:17
Love you, mama.
20:17
- And their face will be bright red.
20:19
Bye son.
20:20
- See ya.
20:21
- I'll see you at our house.
20:22
- [Bobby] Yeah you will.
20:23
That's my house.
20:25
(laughing)
20:26
- Well I'm thinking about selling.
20:28
- [Bobby] Okay, share the profits
20:31
if there are any.
20:32
- So if you roll up to your house
20:35
and see a for sale sign,
20:36
it's just your mama.
20:37
- [Bobby] Oh good.
20:41
- Bye squirt tale.
20:43
- [Bobby] Bye.
20:43
- Oh he's a mess.
20:44
He makes me laugh.
20:45
All right so this is not much,
20:48
but right now it's pipping hot.
20:51
So I'm putting it in the refrigerators
20:54
to make it cool a little bit faster.
20:58
And then we're gonna stuff
21:01
our little miniature Whoopie pies.
21:06
Okay y'all, I'm still working on that 12 days
21:10
of Christmas cookies,
21:11
and you know what?
21:12
I should be making some dog cookies, shouldn't I?
21:16
Oh my goodness, I've only made them for two-legged people.
21:20
I need to make some for four-legged people.
21:24
So we're gonna finish up the fluff
21:28
for the red velvet Whoopie pies
21:33
form my cousin Johnnie Gabriel,
21:36
her bakery Gabriel's in Atlanta is so good.
21:41
Okay so I touched my fur babies,
21:45
so let me go over here and wash my hands.
21:50
Let me wash my hands.
21:55
And then try to keep my hands
21:56
off my fur babies while I'm cooing.
22:01
Okie doke, so remember we cooked our flour
22:08
and our milk together,
22:09
and we put it in the refrigerator
22:12
to let it thicken and cool
22:17
to let it cool.
22:18
It was thick.
22:20
It actually takes about three minutes total
22:23
for this to get to the stage that you need it.
22:29
And like I said,
22:32
this is what's gonna make
22:37
our insides real fluffy.
22:45
Okay.
22:48
So we had already beat up our butter,
22:53
our solid shortening and our sugar.
23:00
Remember we had confectioner's sugar in it.
23:02
And I'm gonna add about another teaspoon of vanilla,
23:09
'cause I do love the flavor that vanilla gives
23:14
your sweets, your cookies and your cakes.
23:19
So I'm just gonna beat this together
23:21
until it's all incorporated.
23:24
Wait, I think--
23:27
- [Eddie] You got your beaters in backwards?
23:30
- No, I just didn't have it in there good.
23:35
Okay, I thought it felt loose
23:36
when I picked it up.
23:45
All right, that's as high as it will go.
23:49
Like I said, I just want this to be as fluffy
23:51
and airy as I can make it.
24:02
If you truly drop your batter
24:04
by the teaspoon full,
24:06
it's gonna make a ton of whoopie pies.
24:10
Normally I would probably drop a level tablespoon
24:17
of batter down, 'cause when I make Whoopie pies,
24:20
when I used to make them for my children
24:23
when they were little boys,
24:29
I would make 'em a little bit bigger than that.
24:34
'Cause my recipe, it seemed like
24:38
I was only making 36.
25:01
Okie doke.
25:04
That should be good enough.
25:06
Now I need a knife.
25:11
Well, how about a spoon?
25:14
How about a spoon?
25:17
That would work too.
25:21
I'll be so glad when we have
25:24
all of my kitchen stuff back in this house.
25:28
We've got just enough to get by.
25:32
So after we get moved in,
25:36
I'll soon have my entire kitchen back.
25:40
So you just put how much filling you want in there,
25:47
and you just put it together like a sandwich.
25:55
Oh, Johnnie.
25:56
- [Eddie] Perfect.
25:57
- Johnnie, Johnnie, Johnnie.
25:59
And you see why I said it was so important
26:02
that your cookies be the same size.
26:05
And of course they're gonna vary just a little bit,
26:15
but even still you can match 'em up pretty good.
26:30
Don't those look delicious, Eddie?
26:32
- [Eddie] Perfect, yes.
26:33
Nice little snack.
26:35
- Mm-hmm.
26:38
Yes, and they're not so big that it'll ruin your appetite.
26:50
Or perfect little after supper,
26:58
little bit of something sweet.
27:01
The older I get,
27:02
I just love having a bite of something sweet after a meal,
27:07
and usually it's ice cream.
27:12
In fact, I find myself eating ice cream every night,
27:18
which is not good.
27:21
Oh, it's good all right,
27:22
it taste real good, but...
27:28
So that's it.
27:30
That is it.
27:31
I'm gonna come over here y'all,
27:39
and add these to the tray.
27:42
I've got mema's kitchen sink cookies
27:46
that I did on another video.
27:50
And now I've got the Whoopie pies.
27:56
And I'm gonna be making some more real good stuff, y'all.
27:58
So you stick with me for 12 days now,
28:01
'cause it's all so good and so sweet.
28:08
So that gets it.
28:11
Thank you cousin Johnnie for being you.
28:18
I love you, girl.
28:21
Merry Christmas.
