Sugar Cookies

Let's make cookies

Okay. So I have measured you out a cup and a half of confectionate sugar, and you're sifting that for me

And what I'm going to need for you to do, Dean, is add one cup of butter in here

You got a few knots, so I'll just get those in there

And you're going to need to add one egg. Okay. So I'll crack that for you

Thank you. And then you want one stick in? No, just the full cup

There we go. And while you're doing that, I'm going to measure out our dry ingredients

I'm going to need two and a half cups of all-purpose flour. I'm going to add in one teaspoon of baking soda

All right, now I'm adding one teaspoon of crematata. All right, I'm going to put the dry ingredients in here

and add a teaspoon of almond flavoring, a teaspoon of vanilla extract

and then just mix it up well. What consistency is this supposed to be

Is that right? It looks like I've done something wrong. No, you haven't. No Okay Now let see if we can get a little bit of that batter kind of slung off The kids obviously love cookies any kind of cookies Absolutely And that how I got them started being interested in cooking

And of course, when you let them shape the cookie and do whatever they like

they make little designs and stuff. My 14-year-old, he made a couple of cookies that were a little X-rated

But, you know, a 14-year-old's going to do that. What did he make? He made a wiener in balls

Ah-ah! I like his sense of humor. He's a funny kid. I'd have been right there with him

So now this goes in the fridge. Yeah. But let's separate it

Because we actually want to chill this for maybe a couple hours, Dean, so it won't stick

There's one for you. Thank you. And a ball for you. Okay, now why do we chill it

Because see how sticky it is. You know, and we need fit to roll out that almond extract in there

So good. So good. Mm-mm-mm. Chilling the dough y just makes them easier to roll out Yes bring it The dough is good and chilled See how firm that dough got Dean That really nice You could roll this in a perfect ball and slice them

but the children really like shapes. Right, okay. So I'm gonna let you be the roller, okay

Tell me about the first time you ever saw Tori. Was it like love at first sight

It was totally love at first sight. I went up to Ottawa, Canada to do a movie

My friend, he's a director, he called me up and he's like, hey, Dino, do you want to do a movie with Tori Spelling

And I'm like, yeah, I've had a crush on her since 90210. Okay, baby, I think that's probably good

And I walked into the office and she was there with the director and our eyes locked and that was it

It was on. We were instantly in love. Love at first sight

Well, it's just one of the sweetest love stories that... that I have heard, Dean

She completely changed my life. You know, I kind of got... And apparently you changed hers too

A little bit. A little bit. And you know what fun is if you don have the cutters you can roll it out and use a knife You can cut out the letters for the kids names Yes They love that Frosting them afterwards Yes So 375 nine minutes

Nine minutes? What can we do in nine minutes? Oh, I don't know. We'll think of something

I'm sure you'll think of something. I'm going to start frosting cookies

because you know what? I want to send Tori and your children home

some cookies. Oh, that's really sweet. So I'm going to start decorating these cookies

And y'all, I'm using a store-bought frosting. And to thicken it up, I added a little confectionate sugar to it to get it just a little bit tighter

And we used a gel food coloring. That's Stella's favorite color, by the way

Is it? Yep. I want a cookie. All right, well, come down here and see what I've done

Would you make one more? Of course. I didn't make one in that. All right, now, I'm going to write all the children's names on here, okay? Okay

Liam. That's one. Stella. Love that name. And Hattie. These are good
