[Music]good afternoon and welcome to my filmingof afternoon football today we aremaking the cookies that are a familyfavoritewe don’t be making this quotations the1950s my mother introduced it to myfamily we all enjoyed it and then Istarted making it for my family and mygrandchildren and when you see it you’llsee it it’s a delightful of a littlecookie and Sherman can hold a very nicething in their hands it is not greasythey can eat as they run around or eatwobbly set and we’re going to make thesecookies today to show you and theingredients are 5 eggs 1/2 a cup oforange juice 1 cup of oil 1 cup of sugar2 and 1/2 cups of flourI’m use fibrosis and my magic bakingpowder 2 teaspoons I’ve got it ready theother way it takes six takes is going tobe stirred you have to do this to it andhave it sitting because that’s whatyou’re gonna wash your cookies with anegg wash to make it them shiny andinviting so now we’re going to be hereggs[Music][Music][Music]we’re gonna add a teaspoon of vanillaand now we shall add the sugararoundokay now we finished meeting our eggsthey’re rather fluffy and creamy andwe’re going to start putting in ourflour so you have to sift it I put myflour in here two and a half cups and mybaking powder magic baking powder thisone here and you sift it to add a littlebit of fluffiness to it you never throwflour as it is you always sift it nowyou have to do this see as you can seeit’s still a little bit watery and we’retrying to make cookies so obviouslywe’re going to need a little more flourback there yepso this is how you do it you get aboutthree cups three cups of flour and youslowly keep adding because if you addtoo much then you cannot take it out andit’s not gonna be just right okay sobaking cooking you have to sort of thinkabout what you’re doing not followexactly what the recipe says because youmight have put a little extra orangejuice or less you might have put alittle extra oil or less than the personwho gave you the recipe and thereforeyou’re gonna need a little more flour sowe’ll see how this looks now yeah looksee how it is I think you can handlethis one now it has enough flour and Ithink we’re all set so to take this outand get try and get the same size everytime which we use a tablespoon okay I’dusually do it on my counter but for thesake of filming it I think I will do iton the table so you can see better andalso so for cats when you’re baking II need a little more fluff okay there wego no let’s see if this is a littlebetter oh yeah that’s much betterand obviously and you can see there’s alittle extra well don’t put it in if itfeels good see how soft it isyeah that’s how it has to feel becauseif you make them hard it’s not good Iput a little oil on my table becausethey are very soft and they will stickto the tabletop here’s my tablespoon Iget it off there I turn them into alittle ball and onto the oil and acrossand you do your little Bradythere’s something I forgot never to turnmy oven on I’m not used to being a chefon live but here I am proving itso my stove is not very powerful don’task me why I have to put it on 400 on mystove now I don’t know how your stillworksthis doesn’t make that much at 400so if you have a strong stove I wouldsuggest you do it at 375 it’s a newstove but it doesn’t work like my goodold one so here I go again[Music][Music]my mother made them very small and atthat time she could actually make 50 soI from 50 I get 30 so obviously verytiny mom made them very tinyI think people ate less back in the 50sI think we like a good sized cookieespecially if you saw my grandkids theboys it’s over six feet tall big guysand they still only take one you are themaker of these cookies and you decidehow big you want them but I suggest youdon’t take too much a little tablespoonis good and also I do round ones thereare some children that like the roundand I will do that for themI’ll show it to you later at the end andmake a couple of round ones so these arethe whole round ones that I make onetothree and one more is far down at thebottom there so my buddy then we’ve got5 10 15 and 4 is 19 cookies in hereWow I hope we can get 19 in the otherone tooall right
