Christmas Buttons Cookies

[SataraMisere]

They remind me of a reversed watermelon lol

[TheMorningCloud]

If you were my mom............ 

[AmSaMu101]

it looks like a blend of watermelon and kiwi :)

[yumaketo]

can I just use this dough to make normal cookies? like, add some chocolate chips, make some balls and bake?

[yumaketo]

can I make a request to you? I'm from Brazil, and in the movies that I watch, I see pies that have the dough making kinda like a bowl in the form, the pan, with some fruits over it, and coverd with more dough, making a pattern on the pie. I really want to know what is the recipe for this dough. If you could help me, I will be so glad... thanks!!!

[iiamcraftykawaii]

i question were did you get the silicone bowls you used at 0:26 !?!? please reply oh btw love your videos keep it up!

[yoyomax12]

@iiamcraftykawaii They were a gift from a friend, I think they were from the "world market" store

[hiImDay]

i made these with the colors of a rainbow and cut them in half after they were in the circles. :) They were a hit at the baby shower they were made for.

[yoyomax12]

@hiImDay What a fantastic idea!!!! Thanks very much for letting me know. I think I may steal your idea and post it on my channel. I will credit :))

[CasidyMarie1]

I wouldn't bake them lol!

[XXSXstarbrust101XXBX]

I really like that shade of green!!!

[camillew101]

And yoyomax12!

[camillew101]

I like chicken

[CasidyMarie1]

@camillew101 ? LOL!

[ermareeable]

I really like all of your videos!!! I don't even bake but I watch these!!!

[MrMaxbeep]

they look like those watermelon cupcakes but inside out

[PowbowPuppie]

The dough when you made it into the roll and cut it it reminded when I was younger I used to do that with PlayDoh!!!!!!

[Ensw52]

I go for black buttons :D

[Ensw52]

When I firs saw this I thought they were watermelon candies :O

[ToxicJellyNinja]

3:11 It's a red burrito!

[LaTripper]

I LOVE THESE COOKIES! they are so awsome! I made a bunch just white & I frosted them a pale blue & put a few pearly sprinkles on them & they looked so cute & wintery(: I gave them in little baskets & everone loved them!

[lalain3tayaminTV]

those look really good & really cute . (:

[cloefan29]

Sushi :3

Well, they kinda look like sushi :)

[BunnyAngel101]

It's a watermelon that's inside out

[CasidyMarie1]

@BunnyAngel101 yeah, when she first uploaded this i thought they were supposed to be watermelons i'm like "first of all it's Christmas time and sencond of all there inside out?"lol!

[imablessedmomma]

I wonder if you can use all butter, or margerine instead of shortening? would it mess up the cookie?

[simonadestefano]

the color of these cookies is the same as the Italian flag! to try :) thanks yoyomax

[LeilaHusseini]

Hey, if I were to boil rood colouring and mix with a little cornstarch, would it reduce to something similar to a food colour paste? or woild boiling affect the colour? Thanks x

[yoyomax12]

@LeilaHusseini I don't think boiling will affect the colour

[DeeNeenee]

cute little cookies! I haven't made one cookie this year, kinda sad about that. I think I will get some baking on this week for the Christmas eve party though. This will be pretty on the table for sure.

[loveinstantlyy]

do we need the butter?

[yoyomax12]

@loveinstantlyy You could sub margarine for the butter

[thizizliz]

So cute! It does sound like a great dough. This technique makes great how to videos without a lot of extra stuff making it longer. Perfect for this channel I think. Laughing at the watermelon comments - with very slight variations, they are right! :)

[OranzineKarve]

Wait, no baking?

[yoyomax12]

@OranzineKarve You need to watch the video again or read the description

[happyday581]

@yoyomax12 no offence, but I think s/he meant it as a joke.....

[yoyomax12]

@happyday581 no baking? how is that a joke?

[happyday581]

@yoyomax12 because its confusing, or at least it confused me. Nvm

[OranzineKarve]

@yoyomax12 lol, sorry, must have skiped that part then :)

[popparoc46]

I have some of these!! - roc

[dn553314]

Would be better as a summer recipe! I find it really hard to make cookies red.

[mrshannabanna1]

They kind look like watermelon cookies

[Bigsis5970]

@yoyomax12 oh ok. Just wondering;) thanks. Could you do a video "red velvet cupcakes"??

[cutehmongangel]

it looks like you making sushi

[PTuinman]

I just found out that a candy store in my town started selling all sort of cupcake things and stuff. Also they have a lot of Wilton brand stuff, even food color paste and candy melting wafers!! I'm so excited, now I could make a bunch of recipes from your tutorials :D

[YoStayFrostie]

it might help if you roll and cut at the same time when you do cookies like that again!♥

[himynameisbob123123]

I'm so going to try that

[MusicXmakeup18]

in the summer, you could reverse the green and the red placement in the cookies, and make them look like watermelon cookies :D

[CovdBerg]

nice!

[CindyMae11]

Awesome cookies! Great video :)

ps- What program do you use to edit you videos?

Cindy Mae from Texas

[yoyomax12]

@CindyMae11 I use windows movie maker

[simetra1800]

It looks like sushi lol

[sselerac]

Inverted watermelon!

[Danoosh666]

Can I add cocoa to the dough and then put a white food coloring?

[yoyomax12]

@Danoosh666 I've never heard of white food coloring?

[Danoosh666]

@yoyomax12

Near my house, I Have a special shop, with also white food coloring ....

[sooouuuuper]

so so so very cute but 130 cookies !!!! lol lol plenty for christmas then

[RachelLoviex]

aw i thought they were watermelons from the thumbnail! buttons are so much cuter ^.^ thanks tammy ;D

[Eviexiaoguagua]

I love what she uses as a spoon.

[justjukie08]

I'm always looking forward on your videos.

[bubblewrap64]

Great idea but I have to say they look live water melons! (:

[TheRealovescupcakes]

Is it neccessary to measure the cookie dough???

[yoyomax12]

@TheRealovescupcakes As long as your white piece wider by an inch than your red piece and both are the same length as the green log you made, no.

[IWalk4tnt]

Very cute Tammy!!! :) 

[xOxSmIlEy4EvAxOx]

Where i live there is no shortening, so what do i use thats like shortning?????

[stephany1800]

@xOxSmIlEy4EvAxOx butter, lard, maybe even vegetable oil.it will however change the consistency of your cookies. shortening is for softness and such.

[yoyomax12]

@stephany1800 Excellent answer to that question, thank you.

[SmartSmurfySmurf]

They reminded me of watermelons.

[1ThingIsToBeHappy]

These cookies remnd me of watermelon :)))

They would turn into watermelons if you switched the green and the red, teehee x)

[ilovebaking2]

it's like backwards watermelon

[thisisme908]

I'm doing this for a christmas party tomorrow:) thanks:)

[cosmeticsreview101]

Looks like watermelon

[Dimenshia]

They don't sell paste food colouring at any stores near me. Can I substitute regular liquid food colouring, or will that affect the texture/thickness of the dough in some adverse way?

[brian09able]

@Dimenshia I think I heard her say once that the liquid food coloring makes it pasty instead of runny and spreadable like the oily one.

[yoyomax12]

@Dimenshia You can use liquid colour for this but you may have to add a couple of teaspoons of flour as you knead if you find it too sticky to handle.

[9209Random]

@Dimenshia try ebay x



[Cnudothtwifurpinaple]

Cut them in half (diagnoly) before you make em, leave out the white(plain), an you've got watermelon cookies!

[TheCountryCook]

I'm going to make these this week. :) They are super cute!!

[Bigsis5970]

@yoyomax12 could you do a video with a cookie like this but with a Santa face in the middle?!?!!?

[yoyomax12]

@Bigsis5970 That would be cute, but really hard to do with cookie dough like this

[missykatherine]

Sushi ^^ 

[jeseniasanchez2001]

2nd viewer!

[wildheart5]

These cookies are really cute! Thanks for doing them with all the work involved.

[TheLizardLover]

Those are some very nice kitchen knives you've got there...

[KreaStina19]

a watermelon is red on the inside and green on the outside:) The brain triggers you to think that is looks like a watermelon because it has all the elements that a watermelon has :)

[HogwartsGirlx]

aww kinda like sushi! so cute :]

[TheGlitterGirl1998]

can you use more butter instead of shortening?

[jennydang2396]

Like my statues if you are drooling right now (: Hehe I love your videos ♥

[natachag77]

ACTUALLY, THERE IS NO GREEN WATERMELONS. HOWEVER, IT WOULD LOOK LIKE A WATERMELON IF YOU INVERT THE COLORS...

[deweykinz]

I wonder putting an "X" in the middle of the buttons would make them look more like buttons?

[lilbunnyjin]

Your so smart! when I saw the picture I just thought wow thats ganna be a lot of cutting and making small cookies but you just make it like some sushi and cut it smart! or im just reallly stupid lol.

[imperceptibleme]

They are so cute! I can see they are time consuming. I think a serrated knife with a sawing motion was best for the lemon cookies I made. Hugs girl. So cute!

[xXxKlutz101xXx]

Haha, they so look like watermelon. Very cute though ^_^

[KelcieIsEvil]

I like your videos. Is this your profession?

[madboutanime]

Did u hv an accent in the beginning ? Lol that's not a cookie here it's rock candy xD well looks like = p

[1132Lola]

They look like a watermelon but there buttons

[iluvmaboyz]

This is great! I thought of doing watermelon cookies

[iluvmaboyz]

This gave me the idea to do some watermelon cookies, thnx for sharing

[mrspamelawilson]

Geez peeps! If it was summertime I'd say watermelon too BUT since it's Christmas time, I'm gonna say their buttons! TFS Tammy, I think these are very cute. Perfect for santa's plate of cookies!

[atticus9799]

Those look super cute! I have found that when I have to slice things like this, using an electric knife is a Godsend! You would not believe how nice and easy and even it make the slices turn out. I actually found my knife at a yard sale for about 5 bucks. Just letting you know, if you have one, give it a try. Thanks for sharing, love watching every post! Noreen : )

[SaRaH23335]

im asking, what about using a pizza cutter ive found the really usfull

[alyssafay92]

looks liek reversed watermelons! [=

[Lisaisalsolisc]

when you were rolling it up i was like oooh fruit roll up! the final product looks like an inside out watermelon :D

[funfun223lol]

i saw a silicone mat :D but its too small :(

[bumally1726]

nice that looks like a watermelon

[annacrack]

The cookies with black buttons kind of look like watermelon.

[laxty69]

I'm saving up to buy a cupcake baking sheet so I can try your designs.. Thanks for the inspiration

[Gymnastlovespurple13]

you could do watermelon looking cookies if you rearranged the colors!

[jimmyho315]

yummm cookie sushi ;)

[Elvis66]

Tammy you simply amaze me with your talent for cookies and cooking!! these are so cute. GREAT job.

[amzstr87]

Agree with @AllStarMakeupTV - I think they look more like watermelons :)

[meganandremmie33]

[RebornLover155]

[GinaFromCalifornia]

[redcojan]

[megan17star]
