hello my dear friends come on into the
0:02
kitchen with me because i'm working away
0:05
on our 12 days of
0:08
christmas cookies and we have finally
0:12
gotten to one of my
0:13
favorite cookies that i remember my
0:16
grandma paul
0:17
making a lot
0:21
uh and she called them grandma paul's
0:24
sand tarts she called them sand tarts i
0:27
ated the grandma paw
0:29
uh but i know everybody in the world has
0:32
eaten this cookie
0:34
some people call it a wedding cookie
0:37
some people call it a sandy
0:40
uh what are some more names theresa that
0:43
you might
0:43
know this by but anyway it's that little
0:46
white
0:47
like a shortbread cookie rolled in
0:50
powdered sugar
0:51
as soon as it comes out of the oven so
0:54
y'all know what i'm talking about
0:56
kitties you know
0:57
what i'm talking about and uh it's as
1:00
good as any shortbread cookie you'll
1:02
ever eat
1:04
so i have two sticks of butter here in
1:06
my bowl
1:08
and i don't substitute
1:17
i use the real deal
1:22
uh let's see what did grandma used to do
1:30
okay my two sticks of butter there's
1:33
really not very many ingredients in this
1:35
cookie
1:36
and i think that's probably y'all what
1:39
makes it so damn gum good
1:41
so i've got confectionary sugar
1:44
and i'm gonna beat that with my butter
1:49
now this is uh
1:54
that's flour
1:57
powdered sugar for rolling them in and
2:00
the flour is for me to get my
2:02
fingers in so these
2:05
delicious cookies won't stick to my
2:07
fingers
2:10
cause you know i do hate to have to lick
2:12
my fingers
2:18
listen i just assume i'm as happy to
2:19
make these as i am the beaders
2:22
and the bowl lady
2:26
what was your favorite christmas cookie
2:28
eddie that your mama used to make
2:32
i think um i think the my favorite was
2:35
the um you know like the egg white uh
2:38
all the meringues and you know what
2:42
they're not fattening and they're
2:45
actually good for you because it doesn't
2:46
have the yolk in it
2:48
and egg whites they have no calories but
2:51
i'm sure your mama put a little sugar in
2:53
them
2:54
oh yeah and did you like anything in
2:58
your meringues
2:59
uh yes she would put um
3:02
she would put chocolate chips and
3:05
raisins sometimes
3:07
oh my goodness i've never had one crazy
3:09
it's good
3:11
yum all right i'm gonna add our vanilla
3:19
and i'm going to be pretty generous with
3:21
this vanilla
3:23
because i really really like it
3:27
in fact if you um
3:31
are looking for a hostess gift
3:35
or you just want to remember somebody
3:38
that's in your
3:40
sunday school class or the ladies you
3:43
played bridge with
3:44
let me tell you a gift that is
3:49
so easy to make and so appreciated
3:54
uh it's homemade vanilla and you can
3:57
make it using either bourbon
3:58
or vodka and depending on
4:02
the the kind of bottle you make it in
4:05
maybe five to seven uh pods of vanilla
4:09
and you just split split it down the
4:12
center and then take a knife and
4:15
just scrape out all the gooey center
4:19
to those beans put it over in
4:22
the liquid of your choice and then stick
4:24
the beans down in there
4:26
but here's the deal though
4:30
you need to start making it like today
4:33
because if you could if you could let it
4:35
sit for two months that would be just
4:37
about perfect
4:38
but um you put that in a neat jar and
4:40
put a bow around it
4:43
i would be so happy for somebody to give
4:46
me homemade vanilla
4:48
all right so that's the story moaning
4:51
glory
4:52
on that little bit of information now
4:56
i'm just going to add my flour
4:58
and we're using all purpose
5:08
i love a cookie with very few
5:10
ingredients
5:17
i like nemo's um christmas cookies that
5:20
i made
5:22
earlier but boy heidi it really did have
5:26
everything but the kitchen sink in it
5:30
but they were delicious
5:39
okay so we just want to incorporate this
5:41
real good
5:48
i'm gonna turn it up just a little bit
5:52
so you know let me hear from y'all i
5:54
would love to know what y'all's favorite
5:55
christmas cookies are
5:57
or cookies made at christmas time that
6:00
you remember your mother or your
6:02
grandmother making for you
6:04
uh i'd love to love to hear from y'all
6:08
man
6:11
what were the boys favorite
6:14
you know it's
6:18
funny but when my boys were
6:22
young they didn't care too much for
6:26
sweets
6:27
and that in that strange of course they
6:30
love those two brothers chocolate gobs
6:32
that i've talked about
6:35
but no they weren't they weren't
6:38
real big on sweets so
6:42
all right i'm gonna flour up my hands
6:49
and i'm gonna get about a tablespoon
6:55
okay i think maybe i got a little bit
6:56
more than a tablespoon
6:58
so grandma
7:03
call these sand tarts i still got i
7:06
meant
7:06
crescent sand tarts so she always made
7:10
hers
7:12
i still think that's a little big
7:16
we're going to shape them like a piece
7:18
of the moon
7:23
how does that look eddie looks good now
7:25
this this reminds me of the
7:27
uh the greek uh cooking i'm going to
7:30
redo him
7:31
crescent huh uh the
7:35
um greek um people
7:38
they they make cookies like that in the
7:40
crescent oh they do
7:41
like this with the powdered sugar and
7:45
yes now you can make them in any shape
7:48
you want to
7:49
um i normally make them in
7:54
balls just because it's easier
8:00
it's faster
8:05
oh that's more than a moon right there
8:09
that's a big
8:12
all right y'all so i did these in
8:16
different shapes to just show you
8:18
teresa's mother this is in honor of
8:21
teresa's
8:21
mother she made them into fingers
8:27
because it was easier
8:31
than making a crescent
8:34
so we've got some lady fingers lady
8:37
fingers yeah
8:38
yeah lady ladyfingers and um
8:42
i did some in crescent for grandma
8:46
i did a couple without nuts because
8:48
teresa just
8:49
likes a taste of that shortbread and
8:52
then i did some in
8:55
balls and nine out of ten times this is
8:59
the shape
9:00
that i made mine in again because it was
9:03
easier
9:05
so in the oven these go y'all for 40
9:09
minutes at 270 i believe it is it
9:12
theresa 270
9:14
okay these magical cookies are out of
9:17
the oven y'all
9:18
and i did wind up cooking them for 40
9:21
minutes you want one don't you maxi
9:25
you want a cookie don't you
9:28
he said i smell something good mama
9:35
you know it's best to sift your powdered
9:38
sugar
9:39
because sometimes it's just
9:44
can be lumpy
9:47
and you like it pretty and fine you know
9:49
for your cookies
9:51
so we're just gonna roll these cookies
9:54
and i was just telling eddie and teresa
9:57
you know i think i'm
10:01
uh a simplest not a simple ton
10:05
but a simple list i kind of just like
10:08
the round
10:11
cookies you know like you think of
10:12
wedding cookies
10:14
and look at these my crescents they
10:17
wound up being big
10:20
oh that's a good treat yeah
10:24
that's for the kitties it's been extra
10:26
good
10:31
what did you get a finger or a crescent
10:33
teresa
10:35
oh yeah your nutless one
10:42
although the crescents are right pretty
10:43
aren't they
10:45
all right we'll do one of theresa's
10:47
fingers
10:51
now the fingers that would be easier to
10:53
eat you know
10:55
just slap down on that thing
11:04
michael grover could eat this whole tray
11:06
by himself
11:13
eddie's getting pretty close too
11:19
oh now gus you smell something good
11:22
don't you
11:24
look at these pitiful hungry dogs eddie
11:29
say i'm so hungry uh oh that one's
11:31
broken too
11:32
that's perfect
11:36
i'd love to give you all some but i
11:38
don't think that's really especially
11:39
good for you i think
11:40
that they heard the word cookie way too
11:43
many times today
11:46
saying give me that damn good
11:49
i've heard you talk about it all day
11:56
oh these are big crescents
12:05
so the dough y'all is really not that
12:08
sweet
12:10
so you have to have the powdered sugar
12:15
so you'll know that you've had a cookie
12:18
something delectable and sweet
12:27
and i will probably now
12:30
i will probably wound up
12:33
running these through the powdered sugar
12:35
twice
12:37
go see it that first time it almost
12:40
melts
12:44
it almost melts the powdered sugar
12:46
because you're still warm
12:49
so i'll just go back and re-dust those
12:57
just like that
13:03
on most of my things it says one time
13:07
very rarely died just do it one time
13:12
like i i don't think you've ever tasted
13:15
my
13:17
little bite-sized cakes eddie uh
13:21
the lemon blossoms
13:25
the lemon blossoms and the orange
13:27
blossoms
13:29
oh my goodness you make them a miniature
13:34
muffin tins and then it said to drop
13:37
them down
13:37
into this uh powdered sugar sweet
13:41
glaze and i always did those twice
13:46
and you talk about good we ought to make
13:49
some of those one day
13:51

13:53

13:58
