And my wife Claudia and we are filling in for my Mom
0:05
While she's recovering from a little bit of eye surgery
0:07
That she had up at Duke University.
0:09
Um, but we're still goin.
0:11
All of you know about it and shes doing
0:12
Really, really great and she's on the mend and all is well.
0:16
But she's not exactly
0:19
Uh, ready to
0:19
Step in front of the camera.
0:21
Um, to do cooking videos, so, I'm filling in for them
0:24
And today I've got the most special guest that
0:27
I could possibly have.
0:28
- [Claudia] Me
0:29
In fact, I'm saying it backwards cause I'm the guest
0:32
This is Claudia's recipe.
0:33
We're here today in our home and Claudia was
0:35
Just holding up a dish towel, what does it say?
0:38
- I love it, my mom gave us this.
0:41
- What does it say?
0:43
- Silence is golden unless you have children
0:46
Then silence is suspicious.
0:48
So true.
0:49
- Its awfully quiet in here.
0:51
- I know right, suspicious.
0:52
- All right, so, Claud, does lots of
0:57
great, really simple
0:59
Easy, healthy, recipes.
1:00
We make a lot of food here at home.
1:02
For ourselves, and for our children.
1:04
And uh, Claudia, wants to share with you today
1:06
A cookie recipe that she loves to do.
1:08
So, with no further ado, take it away
1:11
My beautiful bride, Claudia Dean.
1:14
- Simple, I think is the key, like, I like to do things
1:17
That don't take much time.
1:19
Bobby loves to go like, through the recipes
1:22
And measure everything.
1:23
I measured these just for the purposes
1:26
So you can make it at home.
1:27
But if it were for me, I would just eyeball everything.
1:30
So, I brought this specially for Bobby
1:34
Because he hates when my hair is down.
1:36
- Yeah, run your fingers through it a few times.
1:38
- I'll wash my hands
1:39
- Oh yeah
1:41
- Bobby hates hair.
1:43
- Hey, I'm a kitchen guy.
1:44
- Hates hair - I'm a restaurant guy
1:45
- If he sees hair
1:47
- No, I don't mind hair my head
1:48
- Its like, his biggest nightmare.
1:50
- Ironic that I hate hair and look at how it paid me back
1:53
I don't have, hardly any of it.
1:55
Where I don't like hair is on the countertops, in the food
1:57
- Even in like the bathroom floor, he'll freak.
2:01
- All right, so, back to the recipe.
2:05
And it is? What kind of cookies are these?
2:08
- Hates hair, so I'm going to put my
2:09
I'm going to put my nail away, my ring.
2:11
- Put your nails away.
2:14
- Oh Coco
2:15
Um, Coco's our dog, one of them.
2:17
Okay, so we are going to do a five minute cookie recipe.
2:22
- Okay
2:23
- We can call it
2:24
- I'm looking at the clock
2:25
- Five minute no, sorry, five ingredients.
2:28
- Okay I was going to say
2:29
- Its going to take twenty minutes
2:30
From the beginning til the end.
2:32
- That right?
2:33
- And its because it cooks for fifteen minutes.
2:35
So to put it together is only five minutes.
2:36
Um
2:37
Its a chocolate
2:38
Almond butter cookie.
2:41
No
2:42
A chocolate, almond cookie.
2:43
Or an almond, chocolate chip cookie.
2:45
- Mhm
2:46
- Which one sounds better?
2:48
- I liked the chocolate, almond butter cookie.
2:51
- Its not almond butter, just almond.
2:52
- Okay, well chocolate, almond cookie then.
2:54
- Okay chocolate, almond cookie.
2:55
- By the way, speaking of things being great.
2:58
I look great.
2:58
Am I a lucky duck? Or what? Cause, everything
3:02
That's going on right here
3:03
Are you going to wear earrings today? Oh, you got some on.
3:06
I didn't notice them.
3:07
- Do you have your target shirt on?
3:08
- I certainly do, damn right I do.
3:11
- I got it for him.
3:12
- You bought this.
3:13
- Target
3:14
- Don't make fun of it.
3:15
- This means we're not going to
3:16
- What were you doing at target?
3:19
- With my face mask.
3:20
Okay, so
3:23
Okay, so
3:26
We have
3:28
We're just going to mix it all in.
3:29
- Take it away.
3:30
- We preheated our oven at three fifty.
3:31
- Damn right.
3:33
Then what?
3:34
- And again, the recipe that y'all can find online
3:37
I'm doubling it, because its Friday.
3:40
Even though you might not be seeing this on a Friday.
3:42
And I want cookies for the weekend.
3:44
So, I'm doing double the recipe.
3:46
- And there's a lot of mouths in this house.
3:48
- Yes
3:48
- So they will get eaten, believe me.
3:50
- Yes, so, we are going to have
3:52
- What kind of utensils do you need?
3:54
- Hands, so, this is very simple.
3:56
- I don't like it
3:57
- No, no, you use your hands, hands, your hands.
4:01
All right, so, we have
4:03
- Your hands?
4:04
- Yes
4:05
We have, you may get some nail polish, if its my hands.
4:10
- Why was I looking at the whole nail, oh , it is my nails.
4:12
- Ew
4:15
- all right, so, we have
4:17
- The visual
4:18
We have
4:21
Two cups
4:22
Almond
4:25
What's it called?
4:25
Flour, thank you Eddie, I know flour.
4:28
You can do this with any, like ground oat
4:32
- Mhm
4:33
- So it would be like oat flour, but this is almond flour.
4:36
- That's a good start
4:37
- Mhm, well we may want a spoon.
4:41
- How about a rubber spatula?
4:43
- All right, then we have
4:46
one cup
4:48
of almond butter.
4:51
Am I as good as your mom?
4:53
- No, its just, you asked me what I like
4:55
- I'm just trying to remember the amount.
4:56
I said, chocolate almond butter is what I like
4:58
And you said its not almond butter.
4:59
- Well, there's almond flour, so you can't just
5:01
Call it almond butter, its like double almond.
5:04
I'm sure I remember the amounts.
5:05
I poured this in this container
5:06
Like five minutes ago and I already forgot the amounts.
5:08
- Two cups of flour,
5:10
One cup of almond butter. - I just eyeball everything.
5:12
I just like to eyeball.
5:13
- Its good, I like that.
5:14
- Then, half a cup of maple syrup.
5:17
Lets talk about each ingredient
5:20
Lets go back, the almond flour is just ground almond
5:23
So you can do, this is very natural, very simple
5:27
Ground almonds,
5:29
then you have the almond butter
5:32
And its just ground almonds.
5:33
So when you go to the store you want to get the almond
5:35
Butter that the only ingredients are almonds
5:38
And maybe sea salt.
5:40
But no sugar or oil, you don't need any of that.
5:42
Like the almond butter already has a lot of fat.
5:46
Which are healthy fats, any free fats, that's okay.
5:48
And then the maple syrup, we just get like, its not
5:52
Like the pancake, its like real maple syrup.
5:56
Like Vermont maple syrup.
5:58
Even though it came from Publics
6:00
- That's a running joke, a running joke in our family.
6:02
A running joke about a trip we took to Vermont
6:05
That we took a few years back.
6:06
- Yeah
6:06
- Now as far as the almond butter
6:07
And peanut butter is concerned - Baby I said with your hands.
6:11
I do it with my hands.
6:12
But Bobby doesn't want our nail polish in it so
6:15
- There are almond butters and peanut butters out
6:19
There that are completely natural.
6:20
That the sole ingredients would be almonds.
6:24
- Roasted almonds or peanuts
6:26
- Right
6:27
- And sometimes it has sea salt
6:28
- Right
6:29
- But you don't want it to have sugar or like palm oil
6:31
Or any of that, that's just not sustainable
6:34
its added fat and sugar that you don't need.
6:36
- And you know what, I'm here to tell you that they're good.
6:39
The natural ones, they really are good.
6:41
- Bobby for lunch every day has
6:42
Two bananas with almond butter.
6:44
- Yeah usually I do, cause its quick and easy.
6:47
That's on the go food.
6:48
These, okay, so,
6:50
- So, this is what that looks like.
6:52
- Yes and Bobby did it with a spatula.
6:54
That's pretty good.
6:55
And then we have half a cup of chocolate chips.
6:59
So, I'm using dark chocolate chips for baking.
7:03
You can just like mash a chocolate bar, whatever works.
7:07
But
7:08
this is a Vegan
7:11
Chocolate chips
7:12
So these can be vegan cookies.
7:14
- Mm
7:15
- Or you can just use milk chocolate, whatever you like.
7:17
There you go
7:19
- Probably a
7:21
Semi sweet
7:23
Probably a real high cacao.
7:25
- Yeah that's like fifty five I think.
7:27
And then there is a half
7:29
Sorry I'm just trying to remember the amounts.
7:32
- Its all right, its all right, its countable.
7:35
Its a full teaspoon.
7:36
- Okay
7:37
- Of baking powder
7:38
- Okay
7:38
- Perfect, that's it.
7:40
My memory, deceased my brain.
7:42
- Well, I think that you're doing good considering you have
7:47
Three young babies
7:49
Two dogs
7:50
Me
7:51
- A husband
7:52
And usually, like again like, the way I cook
7:55
I just eyeball everything.
7:56
So when I have to put everything into amounts
8:00
That's hard for me
8:01
- I'm with you Claud, I always, yeah
8:04
- You always like to measure everything, baby.
8:06
- No, well I do, I'm about to make a comment on it
8:09
I think that pinch and dash cooking is lots of fun
8:13
And I don't think that it has to be exact or precise
8:16
But when baking you do have to be a little bit more precise.
8:19
- Well, this is like kind of baking
8:21
So what we're going to do
8:23
This is probably going to be sixteen cookies.
8:26
Again the recipe that y'all can find online
8:28
Is eight cookies.
8:29
So we are going to make little balls.
8:32
- Do you want a spoon?
8:32
- No, we are going to do it with our hands, come on.
8:35
I took my wedding ring out, so
8:38
Oh, should I bring it here?
8:39
- Mhm
8:42
- So we're going to make
8:44
Actually, I think with the spatula
8:45
It got mixed better than with the hands.
8:48
What would I do without Bobby?
8:49
- You'd probably be better off.
8:51
But my mom has always said,
8:55
The best tools in
8:56
The kitchen are the ones that god gave you.
8:58
So you're not wrong.
8:59
- Yeah but last time made
9:01
But last time I made them I think they were not as pretty.
9:03
You know what? We are going to need another of this.
9:06
So you are just going to make
9:09
Little balls with your hands.
9:12
And you're going
9:13
Not little balls, you're just going to make your cookies.
9:16
And they are going to be so good.
9:18
And the fun thing about this recipe
9:19
Is that you can make it whatever you want to make
9:22
Whatever you want it to be.
9:24
So you can do almond butter.
9:25
These, again are almond chocolate cookies.
9:28
As Bobby called them.
9:28
But you can make them like, peanut butter, if you wanted.
9:31
Or if you like sun flower butter.
9:34
Or whatever butter you like, you can just use that.
9:37
And again if you want something that is not almond
9:40
Or maybe you have an almond allergy, or who knows what.
9:43
You can use ground oats as your flower.
9:46
So its a very
9:47
Do you want to help me do this?
9:49
- Uh uh
9:51
Did you just drink water and do (sigh) in my ear?
9:54
- I was so thirsty.
9:56
So thirsty.
9:57
- Okay
9:58
um
9:58
I think you're doing beautiful, this is a nice display.
10:02
Well we don't have enough room right here.
10:05
- Plenty
10:07
There we go, much better, thank you.
10:10
- So
10:11
- I think you were just making an excuse
10:12
- I was enjoying my hands staying clean.
10:15
- They're going to be clean, they're going to be moisture.
10:18
- I see that, your skin looks so good
10:20
Might want to rub this on my face.
10:21
- Your face is what I was going to tell you.
10:24
Um, yeah I think its going to make
10:26
It should make sixteen
10:27
- The consistency of these cookies is beautiful
10:30
Because look how great, I mean those look like pro.
10:32
Are these going to um - I am pro.
10:35
- Yeah, what am I thinking?
10:36
They um, are they going to expand out
10:40
And become, are these going to be big cookies?
10:41
- No, no, no
10:42
They are small cookies.
10:43
They may go like a little bit just
10:45
Because I have the baking
10:46
- The baking powder
10:47
- But they are not going to be like
10:49
Starbucks sized cookies.
10:51
- Okay
10:52
Well those just look great.
10:53
And they smell really good too.
10:55
- Well I mean its not like when I made buns.
10:57
- No, no
11:00
I mean it just
11:01
- Target shirt
11:02
- Yeah
11:03
I don't mind
11:06
I don't mind
11:07
Say whatever you want
11:08
- There we go
11:08
Look how pretty.
11:12
And they're going to taste even better.
11:13
Are you going to have one?
11:14
- Um, yeah, at least one
11:16
- Or a few? How many are there?
11:18
Twelve
11:19
- So far, this sheets gonna be really small
11:23
you're only going to get
11:24
- Like four
11:25
- You're going to end up with about sixteen.
11:26
- Yeah that's what I calculated.
11:28
I made these last week for the babies
11:30
And they love them.
11:32
We took some to the beach.
11:34
- We are going to have one or two small cookies here.
11:37
- I share another
11:38
- This one is loaded with chocolate chips
11:40
- Nice, that's fine, I share another cookie recipe
11:44
On my Instagram, the one with the bananas, remember?
11:46
- Yep, I do
11:47
- With the banana oats, that was pretty good too.
11:50
I'm goin got take some
11:50
- Oh yeah those are good.
11:51
So I made these two recipes.
11:54
That I made up.
11:55
One from. I shared that one on my Instagram
11:58
is pretty good and then this one.
12:00
So we got
12:02
Actually we got seventeen cookies.
12:04
- Okay some couple odd sizes in there.
12:07
I might've made one or two, too big.
12:08
- No, they look great.
12:09
So we are going to cook that for fifteen minutes.
12:11
- Okay, so they're ready to go in the oven?
12:14
- Yes sir
12:15
Preheated three fifty, middle rack.
12:20
I'll put these, i wish we had room,
12:22
You know what? we might have room.
12:23
- It doesn't matter, you can just put it wherever.
12:25
- Doesn't matter?
12:26
- No
12:27
We're casual
12:29
- I'm putting it om the top rack
12:31
Just watch it close.
12:32
- Yup
12:33
I will be back
12:34
- That was so easy
12:36
So, we'll see you in fifteen minutes for some hot cookies.
12:39
All right everybody we're back
12:40
And its been about fifteen minutes.
12:41
The timer just went off and the cookies smell so good.
12:44
So lets get them out of the oven.
12:47
You ready Claud?
12:48
- Yes
12:49
- All right, step back, don't let it burn you.
12:50
- Step back
12:51
- Here comes the small pan.
12:54
Gosh they're perfect.
12:56
- And then there's the big pan.
12:58
- Oh man
12:59
- These are the ones that should be
13:01
- Careful, its hot, careful
13:02
- That's right
13:03
- Excuse me, I'm sorry
13:05
- I'm just so excited, I want to eat them.
13:07
- Yeah, well don't be so excited that you burn yourself.
13:09
- Yes, so you probably want to let them sit
13:11
- They look and smell delicious
13:12
- Yeah, you probably want to let them
13:13
Sit for like ten minutes.
13:16
- If I can handle them we're in trouble.
13:17
- You can handle them.
13:20
