begin don’t forget tosubscribe and ring that notificationbell for when we upload new videos soguys we’re doing something very funtoday so it’s vlogmas part 2 and so inthe spirit of christmas we are actuallybaking Christmas cookies and so it’s notjust any cookies guys if you’ve ever hadan egg surprise this is very reminiscentof an egg surprise this is actually acookie with a surprise baked in themiddle and so these are called slice andbake Christmas cookies if you’ve everdone them or had one please leave us acomment in the comment area so that wecan talk about it and anyways let’s getright into it so guys this is a verysimple recipe it’s only nine ingredientsand so you of course will start withyour flour here you can see that we’vealready put our sugar with our butterand we’re just going to start whippingthose two ingredients together andyou’re essentially going to whip thosefor about three minutes and you’rewhipping them until you get a nicefluffy texture and so in conjunctionwith the flour the butter and the sugarthe other ingredients that you’ll needfor this recipe is one egg you’ll alsoneed vanilla extract or you can usealmond extractyou’ll need food coloring you’ll needbaking powder and you’ll also needI did mention butter but make sure it’sunsalted butter and then lastly you willneed sprinkles so that should be ournine ingredientsso once you’ve combined all of thoseingredients you’re now going to needyour flour which is what you see usdoing here and so you’re going to thendivide your flour into three well it’snot flour it’s dull you’re goingdivide your dough into three equal partsand so what we’re doing with this partis we’re actually going to add our foodcoloring and so you can choose the colorof your choice we want it to go with redbut to be honest we thought it would bemore festive if we went with green andso pretty much we are using our greenfood dye to get the color or the greenthat we’re desiring and so you’re justgonna keep adding drops as you can seeus doing and then you’re gonna roll itinto your dough and pretty much once youget to the desired color that you wishthen you can stop kneading and so you’llsee off to the side and the bowl we havethe other two balls of dough that arejust sitting and you’ll see that furtherin the video what we’re gonna do iswe’re gonna actually use these as theoutside layer of our cookies and so asmentioned guys we are doing a slice andbake Christmas cookie and so if anyonehas had these or if you’ve even madethem please definitely leave us acomment and let us know what you thoughtof them or if you’ve tried them or ifyou’d like to try them they wereactually a very fun and easy recipe thatwe found and we thought you know whatthe kids would definitely love it andthen we of course enjoyed making it aswell and so you’ll see here that we’rejust rolling the dough as we mentionedand then once we get all of the middleportion or then going to start toactually flatten the dough because whatyou want to do is you want to ensurethat it’s flattened so that you canstart using your cookie cutter and soyou have various choicesthe initial recipe that we found it useda Christmas tree but to be honest youcan get creative so right now we arejust rolling out our dough and I’ll behonest guys we couldn’t find a minicookie cutter to get the desired shapethat we wantedso hey we have to improvise so we didn’tgo with the traditional Christmas treewhich is what this recipe did call forwe didn’t go it with a star so by nowyou can see we actually went with ateddy bear but hey he’s a green teddybear so you know what that makes him aChristmas bear so we’re now going tojust roll out some more dough and you’rejust gonna keep cutting your cookies orcutting your dough until you get enoughof these teddy bears or whatever shapeyou’ve decided to go with and so what’sgonna happen is that once you haveenough you’re going to then have them bethe center of your yummy deliciouscookies and guys this is like having ashortbread cookie but as I mentioned itjust has a special touch in the middleso it’s almost like a surprise for thekids or it could be a Kinder Surprisefor adults right well minus thechocolate so we’re just rolling out thelast of our dough here and then we’regonna use up as much of it as possible[Music]all right[Music]so we just went to turn the oven on youwant to make sure you pre-heat your ovenfor about two minutes and then you’regoing to set it to 350 degrees and thebest thing about these cookies guys isthat they actually don’t take very longto bake on once you put them in the ovenand so we did about three batches ofthese cookies and something that Iforgot to mention once you roll thedough you want to make sure it’s about ahalf an inch thick because here you’llsee how our cookies are just mined uphere they’re kind of like minigingerbread man men but they’re miniteddy bear and this is how our cookieslook when they’re done guysoh that’s that was just some rough roughcookies that didn’t work out they didn’tmake the cutbut here we go eating the cookie nowwe’re gonna ask the kids let’s see ifoutside they’re good cookie they’re goodmica so good and I think it’s safe tosay they took their ways that was oursall right there you have itcookies thank you guys for joining usfor vlogmas day to see in the next weekyou
