 It's holiday special and I have a guest. Her name is Harper. First we're gonna go over the first steps. So you need to preheat your oven to 400 degrees and you need to get a baking pan and cover it with parchment paper. Once you've done that, we will go over your ingredients. So first, you need 10 Hershey's Kisses. Second, you need one fourth of salted butter or half. Then you need two tablespoons of powdered sugar. Then you need one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Then you're going to need a half a cup plus one tablespoon of flour. So the first thing we are going to do we're gonna move all of this out of the way. And can you count up 10 Hershey's Kisses for me? Eight, nine. You need to be one for me and you later. So the next thing we are going to do is unwrap these. So you'll get five and I'll get five and we're gonna unwrap these. Is you're gonna put it in a microwave safe bowl and you're gonna soften your butter and I will teach you how to soften butter. Okay, so we're gonna put it in this microwave safe bowl and we're gonna come over to the microwave. I like to start doing it with five seconds and then checking on to see if it's softened. And you're gonna wanna repeat this process not until it's liquid but just until it's soft. Between five and 10 seconds is good. 10 seconds will speed up the process but I think it's easier just to do it before. After this, it's gonna be melted because this, what your butter should look like, some of it's liquid and some of it's kind of melted. Get a medium sized bowl, which we so happen to have right here. So you're gonna put your butter in. You need a spoon. No. So we have our butter, looks very appealing. So once you have put the butter in the bowl, you're going to get your vanilla extract and put one teaspoon in. Make sure to be very careful. You're going to measure out our powdered sugar, which is two tablespoons. So this is a tablespoon and we're gonna need two. You're gonna wanna make sure this is nice and flat and if there are chunks, just make sure to do it. So one, two. So now, this is what we have. Now we are going to bring it over to the hand mixer and I will take turns. Looks pretty creamy but we might wanna mix it for just around 30 more seconds. This is what it should look like. Now, I am going to check. If you have a recipe that's pretty long, you might wanna check it off just to help your brain like understand what you've already done. All right, so now we need half cup and one tablespoon of flour. So we have our half cup right here and we have our flour. I'm going to get a spoon. Oh, I can measure, it's painful. Okay, so now we need our one tablespoon. So again, we're using a tablespoon again so we put our powdered sugar in. So I'm just gonna, I'm gonna put it like a little below because we did a little much on the cup. So we're gonna check this off. Now we're gonna beat it until it turns into one big thing of dough. This is how your dough should look. It's okay if they're a bit crumbly because you're just about to smush them back. So now we need to do, we need to take as much dough as 10 will make. So you will take about a little more than this, maybe a little more, like this is good. And you're gonna want to leave enough to make 10. So you're gonna roll it into a ball. You might wanna take a little bit more. No, wait, that's good, that's good. Now just roll it into a ball. And we put flour on our hands so it doesn't stick so much. Okay, so once you've made your ball, doesn't have to be perfect because you're just gonna smush it anyway. All right, now you're gonna smush it down with your hands. So now you're gonna take a Hershey's case. You might wanna smush it a little more. You're gonna take a Hershey's case and plant it right in the center. And you're gonna wanna cover it with the dough. You're gonna wanna try to make sure that none of the chocolate can be seen. It's okay if it's tiny bit can. Kinda just put it, I'm kinda rolling mine. It's okay if a little bit of the chocolate is sticking out. You want some help? Yes. You start making another, that's our example. And we will each get four more. We're gonna repeat until you might wanna make your, I'm gonna call it a pancake a little bit bigger next time. You're just really gonna wanna cover it up. Doesn't matter how pretty it looks. We're gonna make one more because we have some extra dough. I saw you eat the dough. She failed at sneaking some of the Hershey's case. So, the next thing we are going to do is we are going to put them on the pan. So you kinda wanna space them out. All right, we can put another one here. And now you're going to put them in the oven for nine to 11 minutes or just when you see that kind of the tips of the cookies are light brown. I'm gonna stick these in the oven. We will be back in nine to 11 minutes. We're waiting for your cookies to bake. It's a perfect time to decorate your tray. Action. If you check on the cookies, the bottom is light brown but we're gonna wanna wait a few more minutes just because the dough on the top doesn't look quite ready. We're going to wait for them to cool but not so they're cold, just so they're warm. But while we're doing that, we're gonna fill our bowl up with some powdered sugar. You're gonna put one half cup of powdered sugar. So, while we're waiting for the cookies to bake, I'm gonna kinda explain what you're gonna do with the powdered sugar in the first place. So, once they're warm and they're cool enough to handle so you're not burning your hands, you're gonna cover them in some powdered sugar, just roll all of it through and then it's time to eat your cookies. We're back and we're rolling the cookies. This is what they should look like. We're gonna place them on our festive tray. All right, these look really, really good and I am so excited to eat them. Are you, Harper? Yes. They're still kind of hot so they're kind of burning my fingers just a little bit though. But I mean, if they're not too hot for you to hold, like if you can hold them for a while, the powdered sugar will like cool them off because... And the powdered sugar's sticking to my fingers. Good way of doing it, just sprinkling it on. It's really smart. And we can go back and sprinkle a little bit. Kind of messed. Some of them are really sad with powdered sugar. Ooh, it looks like snow. They are like snowballs. All right, we'll be back when they're ready to eat. Bye. Leila is a Birth and May production hosted by me. Leila McCann's out of it.
