allrecipes.com right because mytrusted friend the internet is back withme to help me guide me through theprocess of making cookies so now youkeep saying cookies cookies there’s alot of cookies out there so they’re softoatmeal cookies okay I don’t know morethan thatit’s whatever you can imagine by mixingall of these ingredients that I havehere and speaking of ingredients let’sget to those first I have 1 cup ofbutterit’s I put it in a cup to see that it’s1 cup 1 cup of brown sugar 1 cup ofwhite sugar why not just two cups of oneof them why need to mix I don’t get itto case if I drop what you’re gonna have1 egg so I’m gonna put them down herecarefully 2 cups of all-purpose flouralright looks like one cup but it’s abigger one it’s actually the measurementof two cups in herebaking soda and vanilla extract cinnamonbecause mmm yeah who doesn’t likecinnamon and the key of the recipeoh.just oats 3 cups of oats and I havemy bowl here in which I’m going to mixthis stuff in a specific order that theto be is gonna tell me this is the firsttime you bake not me I’ve made dessertsbefore this is the first is the firstone on the list yes I don’t want to makeone type of dessert baked dessert whichis basically it’s a fruit cake is that acake oh no what is that thing that youdid I make what would you call it it umyou tell me you’ve called it bad beforebut it doesn’t look like any bias youknow it’s not a pie it’s it’s more likea cake like the sponge cake think youknow why with fruits in itI like these kind of recipes a lot ofpeople don’t like baking it’s verytricky because you have to coordinatethe time you can’t under baked or overbake like it your recipe will be ruinedso in that in that sense it’s verydifficult but for me I know these kindof recipes because you just mix in youringredients put it in the oven and it’sdone there’s no like let’s simmer for 10minutes let boil until I don’t know whathappens like those things they’re socomplicated to me I can’t you know thisis easy mix the ingredients in the rightquantities put it in Java and it’s doneand it is what I’m gonna do todayhopefully I’m not gonna burn my cookiesthe first step is to cream together thebutter the white sugar and the brownsugar in a medium bowl this is the holethat I have it’s medium or not butter Ido actuallymy batter is not that soft because Iforgot to take it out of the fridge likeearly enough so it’s gonna be likereally hard to mix it to cream could youtell us what you doing now I’m trying tobreak it apart and see how creamy it isand see if I actually have to let it sitfor a while so I’ve decided that mybatter needs to like sit for a littlewhile and get more to that roomtemperature so I’m gonna come back I Ibroke it apart so that it will like warmup faster hopefully so I’m gonna be backin like a few minutesso the butter now is room temperatureand I’m going to mix in the sugars thewhite sugar and brown sugar and then I’mgoing to cream it together plus I meancreaminess oh that’s what it is therebut I think it’s like this this yeah mebut also like the sugar starts todissolve into the butterit could be creamier okay so I’mfinished mixing the butter with thesugar sugar yes and the next step is toadd the eggs it says in the recipe – egg- add them one by one and next we shouldadd in one teaspoon of vanilla extractand then I’m gonna mix this for a longtime I don’t know because it doesn’t sayhere it just says to like mix them inthe recipe but I know that when my mommakes mixes like this with with sugarand buttershe usually mixes it until the sugar isnot as grainy anymore like you don’treally feel it so much anymore I’m justgonna mix it up in my arm place[Music]you want to take my place at least for alittle bit sure what up hi everyone it’sme Malika mixing now this is Marisawhat are those think of whirlpools yesno yes like the worst thing the sameexactly and actually[Music]the natural phenomena is named after thewashing machine ya know this so the wayhappened was it was this guy John WHwhirlpool and he was a very smart man ofthe life’s like you’ve never seen beforeyou know and one day as his wife wascomplaining about doing manual labor andtheir clothes inferior device then weshall not name we shown that thisvirtual name of other companies hereJohn WH said hey I can do better thanthatmm-hmm and so what happened is that hethrew some ingenious engineering createdthe machine that everybody knows nowthat’s you probably have in your homeand if you don’t right now go out andbuy one that’s not survival and hecreated it but the irony of it all isthat one day as him and his wife are outon walk by the the beach you knowbecause she doesn’t have to do you knowall this manual labor anymore now thatthey had this super of the future workon machine washing machine a lot moretime to yeah so she convinced him to gotake a walk – see ya so the book go andas they’re walking he notices that thereseems to be someone in the water in needof help stuck in one of these naturalphenomena that we know yeah so he’s acourageous man you know you went to thewar he his story cannot be told againyou know we all know the lyrics these ofmr. John WH were cool but anyway hejumps in without a second part save theperson who was stopped but thenthe risk of his own life get stopshimself as he’s you know pushing thatperson towards beach get stuck in one ofthose worple’s exactly yeah and diesyeah that’s how he does and so now Iknow what you’re thinking so theydecided to name that this looks like acookie to meit looks really Queenie you know that’swhat you want well I see that myservices are not required anymore and soI shall go back the next step is to addthe powdered ingredients to it like theflour the baking soda salt and cinnamonso it’s now in flour 2 cups 2 cups yesput into one cup yes a bigger Cup so I’mgoing to need 1 teaspoon of baking sodaand I’m actually going to add the bakingsoda to the flour here because then it’seasier to mix it into the picture themirror is a mixture not as creamyanymore yeah I don’t know what is thetime yeah it’s normal that it getsthicker with the flour is actually notthat thick it’s just not as creamyanymore you know but it’s I think it’snormal like it’s supposed to be like adog so the next one is 1 teaspoon ofsalt and one teaspoon of ground cinnamonand the last step is to put in the out 3cups of oats ok so I mixed all of myingredients here and I’m supposed to letthis mixture chill for wanna so I guessI’ll see you guys in 1 hour or fivesecondsso we are back the dog has been sittingfor more than one hour actually I leftit there for quite some time so the nextstep is to shape the cookies the recipesays that I should shall shape them intowalnut-sized or balls and then flattenthem how about shipping them likeunicorns or stars how large is like brancookies I think this is about the sizeof a walnut[Music]so do you want to help me eitherno you need me foryou know you can’t you can take some andyou hold it like this so what’s thetaking so okay so like this yeahrock’n’roll then what is wrong she justlikes I’m not[Music][Music]okay so the oven is hotthank you so I’m gonna put the firstbatch in how long 8 to 10 minutes isthat allyeah it says bake for 8 to 10 minutes inpreheated oventhis is your last cookie last cookie andI’m going to me have to make actually 3batches in total we have one in the ovenand there’s a yes pretty much we eatthem yes that’s the plan nothing left tothe recipe that is pretty cool no that’sit so I guess you’ll see them when weeat yes we are the cookiesyeah cookies are done yeah the cookiesare cookies what do you think when youlook at it I mean Alan they look likethe cookies that I see you know invideos and other stuff I thought I KuennI picked them up they’re really soft butthen they get harder when they cool downmmm so at first I thought when I pickedup the first batch that they’re likeokay good but I kept them for 10 minutesso I wasn’t be like I hope it’s fine butI let them hold out in like two minutesthey cool down and they be hardened onthe surface mmm and there does it smelllike what you wanted it to smell it’snot like cookies yeah yes I have oatmealcookies I guess it’s time for me to tryyes it is cookie that is the cookie toothey do yeah cookies cookies yeah myturn so what do you think of it I’m notsure I ever had those like executive butagain hard like Ohall cookies before but not with cinnamongood good yeah and they’re like crunchyon the outside but soft on the insidethat’s exactly what you want fromcookies so you’re satisfied I’m verysatisfied yeah everybody liked what Iwhat I team up with they’re really goodI guess that’s it for the first bakingrecipe of right and the first dessertyeah exactly and you did it perfectlyEtsy I did I mean to be fair it’s notthat complicated of a recipe but I feellike you know with baking like I saidbefore it’s tricky because you caneasily like under cook or overcook I’llbe wrong in your proportions and yeahthat too so yeah good it’s a successit’s one step forward towards our goalof cooking or doing a hundred and onerecipe yeah which itself is part ourgoal to learn to cook and now you cansay that whew baby you cooked samereveals like we’re getting there step bystep if you guys want to join us forthis journey or others that we take onthis channel I invite you to hit thesubscribe button like this video if youdid comment in the comment section belowhave you ever done cookies if so whattype and yeah have a nice day[Music]
