Becky, I am so happy that I am not the only one who, makes messes, throws away half a batch of something I’m baking, burns myself, burns cookies, cuts my fingers, makes more messes and learns to crack eggs in a separate bowl the hard way! Thank you so much for not cutting your lovely mishaps out of your videos. Makes me feel so great full for people like you
You are not alone!!
Right I don’t think most people would admit they messed up or even show it but I love how down to earth Becky is in her own kitchen and just straight up honestly 👏🏾👏🏾.
I have also had to throw a batch of cookies away but I had only added the dry ingredients. I plugged my my mixer and didn’t realize I had it on high speed 🤣 flour all over the kitchen! I had to start over. It was organic flour too so that hurt. Lesson learned though
My mom always says "El perezoso trabaja doblé". I hate that saying because translated it says the lazy one works double. However she is right. Whenever I try to cut corners things are bound to go weird. My sorry that she had to throw out so much but we really appreciate it!
You are for sure NOT alone Jenifer!! First, it should be noted that my nickname is “klutz” and has been my whole life…. Since I could walk 😬…. Probably before that even!! I’m sure I was also a klutz in my little baby walker as well 😂
So a Funny quick story….. one time, about 5ish or so years ago….. I was mixing up some homemade “cream of soup” mixes for gifts for Christmas. I was going to put them in cute antique mason jars with antique glass domed lids….. it took me forever to collect all the jars and get them all washed up! I bet it took me over a year or so of going garage sale-ing and also going to antique stores etc….. I wanted them to be super special!
So I mixed up a MASSIVE batch of this yummy (so I thought 😬) homemade “cream of soup” mix…
Now I keep my kitchen ingredients I use a lot in bulk, in large half gallon Ball glass jars….I put the labels as to what they are, on the lid.
It should also be noted that I’m fairly blind now and without my glasses, I have vision of course but it’s extremely blurry…. Especially when up close…I frequently cook in the evening when I’m super tired… and so I will be in the kitchen without my glasses…. Unless I have to do an exact measurement of something small….I often will go commando and not wear my glasses…
Not sure how it happened…. (Fairly certain it was the no glasses issue) But my baking soda and cornstarch somehow got mixed up…… I always put everything back in its place in my kitchen but the menfolk in this house, have been known to do different 😑
so I used baking soda INSTEAD of cornstarch….. which made the “cream of soup” mix EXTREMELY salty 😵💫😢 and rendered it unusable…. There was no fixing it…. But I didn’t know this had happened at first…….until….
Thank the LORD I used some of this batch that I was going to give as gifts for dinner that very same night…..
It ruined my dinner I was making BUT at least I figured it out BEFORE I gave it as gifts!!
I figured it out right away because the “cream of soup mix” bubbled when I added it to the meal I was making (which had a little vinegar in it) 😂😂….
It’s funny years later…. But at first…. I wasn’t laughing…
So yes….. these things happen to me on the daily in my kitchen too!! All the things happen!!
I probably could write a book on all my silly kitchen adventures 😜
Becky, I HAVE to share this with you! My mom once served as church hostess and since we had a LARGE congregation it was quite a job. The ladies were making cakes in the church kitchen one day when one of the deacons (who was known to be a bit of a know-it-all) walked in and saw my mother cracking eggs individually into a separate bowl, just like you did. He sort of snorted as he watched my mother adding those eggs one at a time and said "Sara, what in the world are you doing?" My mom explained that sometimes you get a bad egg. That man threw his head back, roared with laughter and said he'd "never heard of such a thing." In a moment of what I guess could have been divine intervention the VERY NEXT CRACKED EGG WAS ROTTEN and it smelled! My mother couldn't have been happier! She's almost 86 years old and she still tells that story whenever someone is cracking eggs, lol.
Such a cute story! 😂❤
Ha. That is a great story. How ppl have the confidence to laugh at someone that probably has decades more experience cooking than he has, is beyond me.
The Lord works in mysterious ways !
Great story❤
Love it!!
Also… one recipe I caught 3 double yolks! Good thing I was cracking into a separate bowl! Wish I had laid odds!😂
Becky, I must tell you how much I appreciate that you don’t open with a long intro video and then carry on forever about themselves before they get to the point of their video. While you do talk about your family, your home, and other aspects of your life that you wish to share, you do so in a way that is rather chatty and conversational while carrying on with the purpose of your video. I have been following you since the beginning and have never been disappointed but frequently been inspired and educated.
IKR!!!
This video reminds of when you and all your friends would have BIG cookie baking days at our house! So much fun! Susan, Becky’s mom/
You have a wonderful Daughter, I just found her and she’s great.
💜💜💜
I was literally seed shopping when the notification came in that Becky had posted another video so I had to hop on over to YT to watch. Anybody else (43 yrs old) wanna be like Becky when they grow up?🤣
Aw you are so sweet, Carrie!!
Me!!!
yes!! if only I could go back 30 years
Me. I am already 75 so getting close. LOL
@@christinebrush4399 😆
Watching you crack that egg I was actually thinking boy she has lots of trust in her hens. I have learned just like you did you can’t always trust those eggs whether fresh or store bought. That what makes you so enjoyable to watch. You just roll with life and keep moving forward. Proud of you
Hi Becky 👋 Baking tip** Next time you have burnt bottoms or edges you can use your microplane grater. It shaves off just enough without altering the shape of your cookie.
Exactly what I do...not that I ever burn anything?
Lol, I had said out loud while watching her, “Becky, use a nutmeg grater”! But she didn’t hear me.
@@BluegrassRoze 😆 same!
Brilliant idea. I use baking stones and they really help prevent burning.
Good tip!!
The sped up version of you rolling the cookie balls out reminds me of Lucy and Ethel at the candy factory 😂 loved that episode
Yesss 😂😂 my fav
😊😂
Yep, you are your mother. Smiled when you taped the instructions (her timetable) to the cabinet. Thanks for cookie recipes. Looking forward to candy.
Hope you enjoy!! It was so helpful!!
I thought the same thing as soon as she showed the taped recipes
I though the same thing.

Me too
Butter wrappers are great folded in half and refrigerating in a sandwich bag to use for greasing your baking dishes. My mother in law taught me 40 years ago and I still do this.
I scrape my butter wrappers with an offset spatula--not enuf left to save! And I have tried. But if you're not quasi OCD and cheap, like me, this works well. I did it when I was younger.
I do the same thing. Taught by one of my Grandmothers.
I also use butter wrappers on cooked. Pastas that I refrigerate with out sauce Keeps them moist and tasty.
Genius ideas!
Yes!
Never feel embarrassed when things go wrong in front of us. It is one of the things that endears you to us. Real life, nothing fake.
The cookies look great.
I was thinking the same thing about putting the eggs directly into the batter. We get farm fresh eggs from a friend too and always use separate bowl after one was all blood.
I am not sure how I came across your channel! I’m not a homesteader, gardener or cook. I’m a hair stylist and mostly follow that type of content. I am glad that I did because I’m drawn to your personality and you have inspired me to dabble in more cooking/baking! I think it’s so awesome what you have created and it’s super inspiring!
Wow Thank you!
Becky, sooo grateful you are down to earth enough to leave in the “oops!” Because we are all human and stuff happens and it’s ok!! 🥰 I too had to learn the hard way on the eggs!! Cookies look great 👍🏼
I love your oops. Keep them in. And keep showing us your dirty kitchen before your clean ups.
All, I can say is -- Rachael Ray, move over! There's a new gal coming into our kitchens around the world and she is awesome. Love your cooking posts ("shows") and all your great tricks and tips. I'm almost 58 yo and have been cooking since I was about 10 to, but I learn something new every time I watch one of your cooking videos. ♥️♥️♥️
I love how even when things go wrong you just roll with it and move on with a positive attitude! Love your videos.
Surgery suggestion for the snowball cookies: use the fine side of your grater to grate the burnt bits off.
Using a zester works wonders to help shave off burnt pieces. I just had something like this happen with my scones and I used to the zester then put a glaze an nobody noticed lol
Oooo good tip. Thanks for sharing.
I love you put the dogs away! I appreciate that so much about you. One of my peeves is people leaving their animals run all over the house and kitchen thinking it’s “cute”.
Drives me nuts !!
I never eat at potlucks for that reason alone.
Yes there is a cook that picks up her cat in the middle of cooking and she doesn’t wash her hands I don’t watch her anymore
Yuck
Yes there is a cook that picks up her cat in the middle of cooking and she doesn’t wash her hands I don’t watch her anymore
Yuck
Was anyone else unexpectedly satisfied watching Becky clean the sugar w/ the bench scraper? I need one NOW
I thought the same thing
I bought one at the Salvation Army for a quarter, but haven't used it because I forget I have it. I love that she doesn't waste ingredients...I hate food waste.
Me too.
Definitely! I kept thinking "Wow! Not a single cutting board I have is smooth enough to do that!" 😂
Timer, timer, timer!! I can never trust myself to remember timing. Baking is so much less forgiving than cooking. The recipes look delicious. Those you gift are VERY lucky folks.
I get excited for all of Becky's videos. I'm 40 with 2 kids and love to be in the kitchen but during this pandemic time have hit a huge rut so thankful I've found her this past year. I've binged every episode. I'm so happy that this will be here full time job so we can see her more often. Becky you are amazing and such an inspiration.
Aw Cassy!! Thank you so much!!
You should try walnuts sprinkled 9n strawberry ice cream
Becky, pre-measure and whisk together your dry ingredients when you are baking. It also helps if you line up your ingredients in the order that they are written on your recipes. Less chance of forgetting some ingredients. 😉
I was going to say this myself. Put dry ingredients together in a bowl and THEN add to dough. Less possibility of error.
I do that! Line them up in order and put them to the other side so I know I already added it!
I learned the "whisk your dry ingredients together" lesson when one of the Snickerdoodles I gifted on a Christmas cookie tray contained a lump of baking soda! My poor father was the unlucky one who got it. Will always whisk dry ingredients together well now! Happy Baking Becky!
I'm so glad you keep the failures as well as successes. Maybe that is one of the reasons everyone loves you. You are so relatable. We all do stuff like that. I usually burn mine when they "just need 2 more minutes" and I don't set a timer.
Becky, now that are you are a full time RUclips Chef/Homesteader it’s time to treat yourself and make a business expense and get yourself the professional 6 or 7 quart Kitchenaid mixer. I love mine. I used to be a professional baker and Caterer and I had several but when I moved from Washington state back to Texas recently I downsized to just one.
I would suggest getting a multiple timer for your kitchen that’s battery powered that you can put in your pocket in case you leave the room or go outside. Also, when something gets a little too brown either cookies or toast etc.. just use your rasp grater that you use for zest or garlic and gently shave off the brown spots. Good as new!😎 Love your videos, love your energy and enthusiasm, love your family..both sides are great! I’m so happy that you get to live your dream full time now…selfishly we all get to benefit from that!
Merry Christmas and much continued success with your channel!❤️❤️
I'm 60 years old and have been baking my whole life. In the past 10 years I've noticed that the brown sugar in the store is less and less "brown". Thanks to you I now make my own brown sugar and I LOOOOVE it!!! Thank you!
You're a "get er done" kind of lady. You have enough energy to inspire your watchers to make an effort! Thanks 😊
Save your butter wrappers in the freezer and they work perfectly for greasing a pan or dish. Another great video. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
@ Melissa Houck - I do that! It's the most OBVIOUS HACK & yet I never thought of it till I saw video where she did that. She just put hers in the fridge in a zip bag, but I keep mine in the freezer.
Have a great day!
That's a great tip! Thank you 💞😊
Great tip!
I love doing this! I also pop in the little bits that are too small for use elsewhere!
I learned that tip from a woman who used to own a bakery with her husband in Denmark. One of the most frugal people I’ve met in all my life!
6:28 Thank you for sharing the mistake part - I could learn with you too!! Becky you're the best!
Yay! Love your videos!!! I had thyroid cancer in March & a full TT so I can't eat a ton of candy/sugar, but it makes me thankful for another year! Thank you for your videos!
Oh Renae, I will be praying for you!! Thank you for being here!!
Cookie scoops are a total game changer, so much faster than doing by hand
It is so enduring of you to show your oopsies!! I won't be starting my baking until Friday. I do the same thing. Last year, my youngest daughter (who has since flown the coupe), baked a TON of cookies of different kinds and shipped them all over the country, coast to coast. She had some online friends that were still in some sort of lock down and there were a couple who had serious illnesses going on. It was a pain and expensive to get all of it shipped out. But, I was glad to help her. She did ALL the baking herself. Anyway, cookies and treats this time of year (especially) last year really help with peoples morale. She received things back in the mail, giftcards, letters, cards and some homemade goodies in return. She did not expect anything in return. She just wanted to cheer people up. Most said that her act of kindness made their Christmas since they were having a tough year with all that happened. So, doing this sort of thing is truly a labor of love. I can see that in you. Even though you two are very different young women, I see the spirit inside is very similar in beauty. Merry Christmas, Becky!!
Becky, I've had the rotten egg experience, the beauty of it is we only have to have that happen once!! Some lessons we only have to experience once. Happy trails Gurl!! Well done!
I finally did it. You inspired me to do a big freezer meal cooking day. I made 26 meals today. Some of the recipes are from your videos. I'm from Germany and love watching your videos. I myself do alot of preserving food, dehydrating food, etc. Never done freezer meals before until today. Thank you for inspiring me.
Very cute, delicious looking cookies. ❤️
Wow! 26 meals for how many people???
@@zaria5785 My hubby, my two kids and myself- so four people. Eight of the meals are different types of marinaded chicken. So these didn't take much time. :)
Hallo Germany! I have German heritage and I'm making a German main this holiday. Schweinebraten with Amber Lager. And of course cabbage rolls. With sour cabbage. My grandmother from Ukrainian recipe. Many holiday blessings to you and your beautiful family
❣️💚🎄💚❣️
@@jbee4874 awww how cool. We just had a Schweinebraten the other day. :) love it. Good luck and enjoy your Schweinebraten. I'm gonna do a turkey for the first time this Christmas. We usually have goose (which is not typically German, more typically my mom plus its very festive) but since I've watched so many videos about thanksgiving+how to prepare a turkey (beckys included) I thought I'll bring a little bit of USA into our German home.
Its 1am and I just noticed I binge watched your videos for the past 4 hrs!.I think the worst part is I'm not tired ..Im inspired!I have learned NOT to open my Amazon account while watching your videos because then I buy things.Thank you so much for your videos.I am new here(Found you 4 days ago(?)).While others I have watched make me feel overwhelmed...I have 10 kids( 6 are special needs), homeschool and try to be a Proverbs 31 wife.You are a huge blessing and I am so thankful.I feel so excited to try EVERYTHING you do!You have taught me so much .Thank you!
Very nice to have the large sheet pans, I was so happy when I got them for myself. It makes a difference when you don't have to worry about unused space in the oven. Technically those are half-sheet pans, full sized sheet pans won't fit in a household oven. I only mention it because I buy the precut parchment paper in boxes of 500 sheets at a time and if you don't order the right size that is a lot of money wasted. I do think they are worth it though I've been on the same box for 2 years now and it will easily make it another year or two before I need another box and I don't have the curling paper issue to deal with.
I like that you don’t skip over your mistake and you go with the flow of cooking. No edit cuts just straight recording the food. It’s annoying see people try to make cooking look so clean and nice and good lighting. You are my kind of home baker (miss the dogs in the background) love the videos can’t wait for the candy
I do my thumbprints with almond extract in them. I then roll them in finely chopped almonds and put seedless raspberry jam in the center. Snowballs are one of my favorite cookies.
You can make a double batch of banana bread and put nuts in one for you. I freeze half of anything I bake to eat later. Love to have freezer bags of a variety of cookies ready to eat.
Love those thumbprints
Same thing with cookies, split the batter, half with nuts, half without to please all tastes.
Becky don’t sweat the burnt cookies, it happens to all of us (even when I set a timer) . Good thing is it was a small amount of goodies. I love that you still posted that to your YT community , another reason to show us how (real) you are. Enjoy your baking, can’t wait for the candy video 👍🏼😍
I've had the problem of under cooked cookies of late.
@@melanieortiz712 maybe try one of those oven thermometers, maybe your temperature is off 🤔
@@JPRN. nah, I just need to get some cookie scoops😋. I make them too big I think.
@@melanieortiz712 lol I never saw a cookie “too big” that I didn’t like🤣😂, good luck with your baking and Merry Christmas 🎄🎅
Putting my feet up during my kids' naptime: favorite time for a new video!
Wow perfect!! Thank you!!
Literally same!
Wow, where do you get your energy? No way could I accomplish all this in one day.
Your positivity is so contagious! I'm always so happy watching your videos, whatever the content!
You're the best! thank you!!
Glad to hear the timer!
That tip about spraying your measuring cup with oil before using for molasses or honey is brilliant! Don't know why I never thought of that. I imagine it would work great for peanut butter as well!
It works for just about any ingredient...I certainly haven't found one that doesn't work.
Yep. I always remember that tip...AS I'm trying to get the sticky stuff out of the measuring cup! 😊
I will be trying these goodies for sure. I would like to suggest away to test a good or bad egg. If you put the egg in a glass of water and it floats it’s a bad egg. If it falls to the bottom of the glass in water it’s a good egg. I’ve tested my eggs like this now for a least 5 years. I hope this helps 😊
We have always called the snowball cookies, Mexican Wedding Cakes. Not sure why, thats the way my grandmother made them. Yummy!
When grama would bake pies, we would take the left over dough, roll it out, spread butter on it, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on it, roll it into a log, cut slices and bake it. Those remind my of grama’s. We called them pie crust pin wheels.
Hey Becky, here's a tip for adding nuts in banana bread - spread it on top of your loaf. Then, Josh can slice the top part off. My hubby doesn't like nuts either and this was all I could think to do. I really enjoy your videos. You inspire me!
Instead of cutting off the dark bottoms of your cookies with a knife, try running them across a fine grater. Way easier. Also, I keep a wooden chopstick in my flour container to level off my measuring cups when baking, that way you don’t have to touch it. 👍🏻 Your Cookies look so good. This is the first time in many years that I’m not making any homemade candies or cookies. Packing to move in January. But next year it’s game on. 🎄🎄🎄
Love the tips!! Thank you!🙏👌
The ad right after the egg incident started with "Do you smell that?" Made me laugh. Of course you took it in stride. Thanks for showing real videos, things happen. Lucky family and friends on the list for those delicious treats.
Becky, you've been such a blessing to me. I've been making a lot of your freezer meals and other recipes lately. You've been a lifesaver! I work 4 jobs to make ends meet so freezer meals keep us fed and out of the drive thru. Thank you for what you share!
I live in Australia and we call the thumbprint cookies 'Jam Drop cookies (aka biscuit)' 😁
Becky, the cookies from your bottom oven will be fine. Just let them cool, take your microplane grater and carefully grate off that layer of crispiness, and continue with the powdered sugar step. This will work with any cookie that gets a bit too brown on the bottom. So much easier than using a knife.
I'm so jealous of your kitchen - mine is so small that I have only about a half a countertop of workspace, so I'm constantly carrying hot baking trays to whatever flat surfaces I can find in the house. I love how organized you are, and also glad to see the mistakes that happen to all of us. Wish I could smell those cookies through my computer!
I feel you! My kitchen is teeny tiny and finding flat surfaces is a constant challenge.
I don't have a kitchen except a sink and fridge and a tray table that holds the microwave....lol I am jealous of anyone who has any kind of kitchen....one day.....
Yay! The cookie video was a nice surprise today. You inspired me to get my holiday baking done! Also, since I am a French teacher and an Acre Homestead super fan...Palmier is pronounced " palm ee ay ". Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Oh wow thank you!!
I just love how you are so open and honest when you make your videos. Mistakes happen, batches get burned, things break, but we start again. Seeing your videos always inspire me to try new things and know that it is ok to mess up and try again. It makes me brave and encourages me to push myself in the kitchen and in life in general. It looks like I am not alone in this sentiment as I read the different comments. :) Thank you for welcoming us into your home and your life it really has been such a treat for me and my family to find your channel this year. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
Would loveee to see a package with me video when you’re packaging the cookies and candies for gifts!!!❤️
Your dad is so cute. You can tell he's so proud of you. That smile says it all. 😍 You are so fun to watch!
When I make banana bread I always make half of the loaf with walnuts and half of it without. (I just sprinkle and stir them into half the loaf after the batter is already in the loaf pan.) My kids don't like the walnuts but I love them!
My daughter doesn’t like nuts in her quick breads or brownies. I have told her that she can make them however she likes, but if Mom is baking then there will be nuts. She’s a teen.
Great idea!!
Or put a silicone divider between the 2 batches and have 2 mini loaves.
My Grandmother used to send our family the Russian Tea cakes for Christmas when I was a kid. My parents teased us that we couldn't have any because they were "grown-up" cookies. They would eventually share but we've called them grown-up cookies ever since. I finally found out their real name when I got old enough to make them myself. I have been making them every Christmas for 30 years now. Try them with pecans. Mmmmm delicious. Love your channel.
The wedding cookies have been part of our Christmas tradition for several generations. Although our version varies slightly from yours, this helped me recall our original recipe which is currently packed in our storage unit since we just moved! Thanks for sharing these!
I have 2 or 3 cookie scoops but I found another super fast way to do the cookies. Just roll out the dough until it’s about 1/2” or 3/4” then use a pizza cutter and cut the dough into squares. Then just roll the squares into balls. So fast and easy. You might have to trial and error the thickness and square size for the proper size of cookie. But it’s very easy to eyeball it. Great video. I’m tired now watching you work. ❤️
Love how you show us when it goes wrong for me part of my baking kit is a cheese grater I burn way more than anyone ever should do got really good at grating the burn bits off loving you channel so doing the play lists at the moment xx
Around holidays especially, my grandmother insisted we crack our eggs in a cup before adding each and every time. I'm sorry you had a bad egg experience. It doesn't happen often, but yep, when you least think it will, it happens. Thank you for sharing your baking day with us. I'm trying to drum up some energy to make cookies for us and my neighbors. It has been a tough medical year for my father, whom I care for full time. Your videos are a nice addition to my work week as I struggle between stress and exhaustion to keep cooking and getting stuff done. Thank you for posting and sharing.
I think the Palmier's are French, and pronounced "palm-ee-ay's". Loved this video! Having a big bake-off with my family this Saturday! We all pitch in on ingredients, and make a whole day of it, with a break for soup and salad for lunch. We bake Swiss Bread, Bratzeli's, and Pecan Crunch, which are family recipes passed down from generations. Hey, dryer lint makes for a good fire starter!
More like PALM - YEEHS. ;)
Potato po-tah-to. I put dryer lint inside cardboard paper towel and toilet paper holders.
We call them palmeritas, excellent with a mid morning coffee, I’m hungry now…
Recipes to share?
I love how well you deal with obstacles. I could tell you were frustrated and disappointed but you shook it off and got on with it. The world would do well to follow your example.
Cookie scoops are sooo useful! I use mine for falafel, for putting icing across things evenly, and all sorts of other things.
You are real and honest and we all understand! Fake, dishonest people would have hidden a mistake and cut it out. Not our Becky! Just one of the many reasons we all love you!
This was such an entertaining video, Becky! From the no no of cracking the egg directly into the batter to stuffing a double batch into the KitchenAid. 😂 Those were the perfect size ginger cookies for gifts. The Palmier cookies would have puffed better, been crispier and taken less time to bake had you loosened the coils a little. I like the results better with homemade pastry (easy as pie, btw) they taste very buttery and cook all the way through. I encourage you to try it. Make 3 batches every 6 months and you're set for the year.
I do all my baking with salted butter too, I like the sweet and salty taste
I love that you respect us all so much to be honest and real when you are cooking/baking stuff. An I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who messes up burns stuff an I learn the hard way myself with the eggs . Thank you for sharing your time and your recipes you make it look easy.
Thanks for bringing us along!!
Oh dear! Having to throw away a bunch of ingredients due to a bad egg disaster and I, too, learned my lesson. Speedy hint: I have used the back of my scoop or a melon baller to make quick work of thumbprints.
A kindly suggestion to share with you and viewers…your KitchenAid mixer can be a once in a lifetime (and beyond) expense, if you treat the transmission gently by starting the machine one gear/level at a time and stopping the machine one step at a time, too.
The amount of time and effort you put into these gifts is so sweet. I’d love to get something like this than a store bought gift any day!! I can’t wait for the candy video.
I love that you are not only a good cook but a real cook because real cooking is messy! Good luck during delivery!!
I love walnuts! I can eat them all day. My mother makes the best Zucchini bread and Banana bread. We love walnuts in both. Those cookies looked so delicious Becky! You are doing a wonderful job on here. You are helping so many people more then you know. That was a Big Score on all those jars! Please, please keep putting up videos! ❤️❤️
I grew up with cracking an egg in a custard cup in case of any shells. I also grew up with buying salted butter. I like salted butter, so I still buy it. I am also always looking for more ideas on what to do with puff pastry, so thanks for this recipe. A tip for puff pastry: if you dab the broken seam with water, you might be able to "glue" it back together. It says that on the box as well.
I’m not a baker at all but after watching this video you make me want to go out and buy all the ingredients. I should give it a try soon and if I mess up it’s okay I can just start over.
She's like living sunshine on a dreary day! And the mistakes just make her more so.
I use a fine grater to scrape off burnt bottoms
My daughter and Mum (3 generations) made most of these today. All absolutely perfect recipes. Thank you soooo much. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you for showing the ups and downs of the process. Seeing you recover and press on is such a great example to follow.
I told myself I was going to take it easy this year, but now I feel the need to bake this weekend. I’m also making the saltine cookies /and thumbprints, but I use a shortbread and raspberry jam for my thumbprints and no nuts.
Yesss!! I make a butter thumbprint cookie with raspberry jam and powder sugar glaze. My family is obsessed with 🤤 I want to take it easy this year too bc I am already making all of Beckys appetizers from her Friendsgiving video and even thought don't watch this video bc you'll want to make everything!! 😂😂 jamit!!
What l love most about you is that you're real. You could have edited it but didn't. It's everyday life. Thanks for that.
Excited for all the recipes and baking. Thanks for sharing your homestead. I enjoy your videos😊💜👍🏻
Glad you like them! Thank you for being here!!
@@AcreHomestead Welcome 😊
I have done that before if something doesn't seem right. When in doubt throw it out! I saying thst I have chickens and I have gotten into habit of doing in separate bow (usually) just in case! I also float my eggs ehrn I wash them to check for freshness. Mainly if I have a bunch and haven't gone through them
I haven't made thumbprints myself, but when my mom made them she baked them without jam or anything in the middle, then piped in buttercream icing when they were cooled. You can also make a thick chocolate ganache to use. I'm not really doing much baking this year, but I love watching your videos 🙂
Yes, buttercream colored red or green.
I love that you let your self be a real person!!! We all make those blunders in the kitchen
I've made the molasses cookies and they are great! Everyone loved the chewy texture!
I love that you don't edit out your mistakes. It makes you so much more relatable. Haha I always am making mistakes.. Mostly cuz I rush..or wander away and get sidetracked 😂
I had no idea how easy Palmier cookies are to make. I'm trying that. Can't wait for the candy video
I know, right?
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this greatly as I was supposed to have gotten together with a homeschool family to make Christmas cookies with their girls, but broke out in shingles, and since they are not protected for chicken pox, we had to cancel. My own girls live in another state, and won’t get to see them before Christmas to enjoy a cooking day with them. This was fun to follow you as you progressed through your bake day, mistakes and all, you’d fit in at our place too!
I forgot that they have a chicken pox vaccine now. So sorry you got shingles. I’ve never had it but I know people that have. Prayers for a speedy recovery I have heard it’s no joke!
Hi Becky! You can also make those “Christmas Crack” cookies with graham crackers. So good.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all💫❤💫
I’ve made those ginger molasses cookies for my husband since they are his favorite and he loves that recipe! I was happy to see it on here. Also thanks for this video! I needed some more baking ideas and this helped so much!
@Dian Elizabeth, I’ve made molasses crackles since 1997, a favorite of my oldest son. I am so glad to see a version with butter instead of crisco.
This show made me so happy! Growing up we made dozens of cookies along with fudge and divinity to give as gifts to all the aunts, uncles, and cousins. Thumbprints and snowballs were favorites. The tradition was passed on to my kids and
It just doesn’t seem like Christmas without them.
You're amazing! Thank you for sharing your full baking adventure...the good and the bad :) You've inspired me to get some recipes together to make a few batches of holiday cookies!
This is exactly why we love spending time with you! You cook, bake, garden, succeed, fail, inspire, and are real. You bring friendship to all your videos. Congrats on your journey to full time RUclips! I found your channel when you only had about 1k subscribers, it’s not surprising at all how fast you’ve grown. ❤️
My mom taught me to always crack eggs in a separate bowl, fresh or storebought, so you don't accidentally get shell in your dish. I sometimes do and sometimes don't 😂
Becky when you said hebbie jebbies I thought I would fall out. My granddaughter is autistic and she can't stand so many things. She will just stop dead and say it's a textual thing. It's fabric, food whatever she comes in contact with.
The Russian tea cake cookies are an all time favourite in this house. I usually make 2 double batches. They are stored in lock n lock and into the freezer. With the cookies I put a box of freezer bags also.
love you and your videos. They have gotten me through so much
Wow, thank you! I am so grateful for that!! Thank you for being here!!
I love that you don't edit out mistakes. I made mounds bars yesterday that only had 3 ingredients and somehow i completely messed them up. The problem was that the chocolate i used didn't set right and instead of being smooth looked very, lets say rough. They tasted great but looked like little poopsies. My 12 year old wants to remake them the same way for April fools day and play pranks with them... lol
I will never forget the time I made a coffee cake and forgot the flour! I knew something was dreadfully wrong when i checked it and it was sitting in the oven, BUBBLING! LOL!
@@lindas.8036 Oh my gosh... lol
Yummmm I’ve never made holiday cookies as a Latina my focus is tamales but I may make a few of your cookie recipients this year!!
I hope you love them!!
I grew up making cookies, and in my adulthood it's been tamales. My goddaughter & her cousins I want a cookie day with them this season. It's fun to experience and share it with them. Their Moms are tamalera Queens.
I was a cook for a retirement community in Virginia for a few years and one of my aides told me something that has stayed with me to this day. Haste makes waste. This saying always comes to mind when I am feeling tired and want to take shortcuts.
