00:10you have a cookie jar but it's empty and do you also have 10 minutes say no more today we're
00:18going to fill it up I'm going to show you three simple homemade cookie recipes that you are going
00:24to fall in love with and you're probably already eyeing these first ones right here easy and delicious
00:33we're starting at top speed we add a cup of softened butter about 150 grams as you can see
00:40i have it at room temperature so i can work it easily you can do it with a spoon or
00:46a spatula
00:47but you have to stir it and press it down until it's completely creamy then you add two cups of
00:52flour about 250 250 to 260 grams once you add that you toss in the last ingredient the condensed milk
01:02one cup is enough about 200 milliliters i usually put half a cup of condensed milk and they turn out
01:10balanced if you are one of those people who like them super sweet add a little bit more and if
01:16you
01:16prefer them less sweet a little bit less all that's left is to prepare the dough with these
01:22ingredients for that you just have to stir and stir and they will mix together until you get a dough
01:28like this oh look i'm going to show you the texture simply if you roll it into a ball you
01:35can work it
01:36with your hands and it holds its shape it's that easy we're going to take a good portion and place
01:42it on
01:42parchment paper or a silicone mat we're going to roll it out to the thickness you like best for cookies
01:48and once you have it on the parchment paper or silicone mat take a cookie cutter and cut out the
01:54shapes it's as simple as pressing it down then you remove the excess dough between the cookies and don't
02:02throw it away you reuse it to keep making more it's that easy roll it back into a ball and
02:08you have dough
02:09again you're going to fill the tray and we're going to put this in the fridge for at least 30
02:16minutes
02:17although if you want to leave it for an hour even better
02:22the point is to let them chill with the amounts i gave you we can make two baking sheets so
02:30let's go
02:30with the first one and bake we have it at 180 degrees on conventional bake 180 degrees celsius which is
02:40355 fahrenheit and as you can see 12 minutes have passed and i took them out because they are
02:45already cooked now for the second batch about 12 or 13 minutes and they already look this great let's
02:52see if it zooms in close so you can see them look look look look at what an amazing tray
02:57we prepared
02:59in no time at all delicious soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside the perfect cookies for dunking
03:07look look look look look how tasty so what do you think about having them with a little milk
03:13gorgeous aren't they they look really impressive but if you want one with a boost of energy to get
03:20you through the whole day at school or work these oatmeal ones are the ones for you delicious
03:28and with that extra touch i start by preparing the dough for which i add 190 grams or a cup
03:35and a half of
03:35ground oats also called oat flour which you can make simply by grinding oat flakes or rolled oats
03:42i add butter 150 grams or one cup at room temperature
03:49and using our hands we press the oats into the butter until a sort of very dry dough forms
03:55you can make something like crumbs to this we're going to add rolled oats 165 grams or a cup and
04:04a half
04:05i mix it in with my hands simply by pressing everything together thanks to the two textures of oats this
04:12will be delicious we also add a teaspoon of baking powder and it will soften the texture you simply add
04:20this
04:20and mix it through we give it an extra touch of flavor this is optional with a splash of vanilla
04:27essence
04:27extract or flavoring and i give it the sweet touch with unrefined brown sugar a quarter of a cup but
04:34you
04:34could use whichever sweetener you prefer distribute it well by stirring and knead again for a minute
04:42finally you can give it the finishing touch i do it with chocolate chips but as you know this is
04:47optional as
04:48well the point is to add them little by little and distribute them throughout the dough just that easy
04:55and just that simple as you can see i've added a few chocolate chips but if you like you can
05:03substitute
05:04them for chopped walnuts and they turn out amazing too in the end you'll have a dough like this a
05:13bit crumbly
05:13but if you squeeze it in your hand it holds together what we'll do is take small portions about the
05:20size
05:20of a large walnut if you want to weigh them between 25 and 30 grams and what we do is
05:25press the dough firmly
05:26and roll it into a little ball with our hand we place them on parchment paper or a silicone mat
05:33and
05:33then we flatten them a little with the palms of our hands press them down shape them a bit and
05:39put them
05:39back in place remember you have to press them so they stay compact and that way they'll end up with
05:45this fantastic shape rustic style and totally delicious we're gonna put them in the oven which
05:53we have preheated to 200 degrees celsius 200 degrees celsius or 395 degrees fahrenheit for about 15 minutes
05:59and look at this delicious tray of cookies look look what a great batch we've made in no time
06:06homemade cookies crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with that rustic touch we love so much
06:14don't tell me you don't feel like enjoying them and having a bite don't they look tempting
06:20what about i want to give you another idea do you think traditional cookies always need butter to
06:28turn out nice and crunchy and delicious well look i'm going to prove you wrong today i present this
06:37other alternative making them with oil the best cookies made with oil in the world
06:45to prepare this marble what i do is place one large egg size l into a wide bowl along with
06:5150 ml or 1 4 cup
06:53of oil we also add a cup of sugar which is about 200 grams although if you want them a
07:01little less
07:01sweet you can put a little less we're going to beat all of that super well with an electric mixer
07:08to finish a bit faster we also add a quarter cup of milk a little over 50 ml around 55
07:16and beat well again
07:18so that it's completely incorporated and now let's move on to the key ingredient flour 330 grams or two and
07:26a half cups right in along with half a teaspoon of baking powder or baking powder about three grams also
07:34called baking powder time to mix it all up that's all there is to it you can do it with
07:41a spoon a
07:42spatula or whatever you like but finish it off by kneading it with your hands until you get this texture
07:48you see on screen soft but no longer sticking to your hands and now we have the dough that said
07:55we can
07:56add an extra touch for variety one day you make them like this another day you can add cinnamon or
08:02vanilla
08:03a bit more zest in short a little extra touch of flavor that way you can make them with a
08:08different
08:08twist and now we're going to shape them and look how easy it is you simply take a small piece
08:15you roll
08:16it in your hands so it ends up more or less round and you place it on parchment paper or
08:21a silicone mat
08:22and then you flatten it like this with your fingertips you give each one a few taps so they end
08:28up as discs
08:29about one centimeter thick and then with a glass or a cookie cutter this you just twist it around so
08:36the side becomes nice and round see how easy it is and what a great trick so that they all
08:42turn out
08:42well shaped then into the oven preheated to 180 degrees celsius or 355 fahrenheit we're going to keep
08:50them in until the edges are lightly brown in my case almost 20 minutes and a second baking sheet because
08:57this recipe makes enough for two baking sheets remember that until the edges start to get golden brown
09:04and you'll have a tray as impressive as this one look look look look what an amazing platter we've put
09:10together in no time perfect cookies that as you can see have a super super homemade look to them now
