Hello everybody. Let's whip up some
0:04
leprechaun cookies. What are leprechaun
0:07
cookies? They are pistachio and a
0:10
chocolate chip cookie. They're green.
0:13
Perfect for St. Patrick's Day. Gives it
0:15
a little Irish flare to it. I hope
0:18
you're wearing your green. Get it on.
0:20
All right, you guys. These are pantry
0:22
style cookies. They're going to happen
0:24
all in one bowl. Of course, it's going
0:26
to have the flour and some other stuff.
0:28
We've got pistachio flavors coming at
0:30
you two times in this recipe.
0:34
Y'all ready? Let's go. Now, the first
0:37
thing we're going to do is cream
0:39
together two sticks of butter, which is
0:42
one cup. Make sure it's very soft. You
0:45
can leave this out overnight or just pop
0:47
it in the microwave on a microwave safe
0:50
plate for about 15 seconds or so.
0:55
Yeah, you want it nice and creamy.
0:58
I'm going to show you what I mean. Take
1:00
your spatula and you should be able to
1:02
just push down on it. Just like that.
1:05
That's what you're looking for. That'll
1:08
make your life easy.
1:10
All right. Next, we're going to add in
1:13
half a cup of white granulated sugar.
1:17
Let's get it open. There we go.
1:24
M. Yep. And then we're going to add in
1:29
half a cup of brown sugar.
1:35
These are cookies, you guys.
1:39
Now, we're going to pack the brown
1:41
sugar. Just squeeze it on into your cup
1:44
there. Even it out and we'll add it in.
1:49
You can certainly make these cookies in
1:51
your stand mixer using your paddle
1:53
attachment, or
1:55
you can use an electric hand mixer,
1:58
which is what I'm going to be using
1:59
right here.
2:01
We're going to cream this together for
2:04
about 2 minutes
2:06
till it's nice and smooth
2:09
and light in consistency.
2:13
All right, don't laugh, but Thomas and I
2:16
stayed up last night and we were
2:18
shelling pistachios
2:21
for this recipe
2:23
because we had the pistachios, but they
2:24
were still in the shell. So, we might
2:26
have eaten several along the way. And
2:30
then we had a bag of M&M's
2:33
because we couldn't find the green ones
2:34
unless they're mint flavor and I really
2:36
didn't want to put that in the cookie,
2:37
but if you want to do that, you can. So,
2:40
yes, we separated M&M's out to get the
2:43
green M&M's for these cookies.
2:46
That's my story today, you guys.
2:49
All right, that looks really creamy.
2:51
We're going to start incorporating two
2:53
eggs and we're going to do it one at a
2:55
time. Now, pull these out of your
2:58
refrigerator and give them a few minutes
2:59
to sit out and that way it takes the
3:01
chill off of them and that'll help make
3:04
for fluffy cookies also.
3:11
All right, we're going to pull that
3:12
shell out of there that went in there.
3:14
These shells lately have been really
3:16
light, so they break really easy.
3:20
All right, y'all see any shells in
3:23
there?
3:25
One. We'll beat that in and then we'll
3:27
get the other one in.
3:32
You just want to do that until they're
3:34
incorporated.
3:37
There we go.
3:41
We're going to grab a spatula,
3:44
the same one I used earlier. Pull down
3:46
the sides
3:48
and we get everything incorporated.
3:53
We're going to mix in one teaspoon of
3:56
vanilla extract, half a teaspoon of
3:58
almond extract. We got to load this up
4:01
with some flavor
4:03
and about half a capful cuz almond
4:05
extract is pretty strong. We're going to
4:08
mix this together.
4:11
There we go. Just until combined.
4:16
Now, we have a secret ingredient right
4:18
here. This is one box, which is 3.4 oz
4:22
size of pistachio. This is the instant
4:26
pudding and pie filling mix right here.
4:29
So, it's the dry version. We're going to
4:31
add that in. Lots of flavor, you guys.
4:34
And a little cookie.
4:36
Going to go right across the top. Look
4:38
at that green color.
4:43
All right, let's mix it in.
4:48
Look what it does to that cookie dough.
4:50
Yeah.
4:53
If you need to grab a spatula.
4:56
There we go. Just like that.
4:59
Get everything well incorporated.
5:03
I just use the beers to scrape off my
5:05
spatula here. There you go.
5:09
Just until combined.
5:13
Let's start incorporating some dry
5:14
ingredients. We just got three going on
5:16
here. So, we got some allpurpose flour.
5:19
We're going to add in two and a/4 cups.
5:23
I'm just going to go in, shake it off,
5:27
add it.
5:31
That's ah,
5:36
there we go.
5:39
I was going to do my knife thing, but
5:42
we're going to do this. And then there's
5:43
the quarter.
5:47
All right. To that, we're going to add
5:49
in one teaspoon of baking soda.
5:53
I guess my dog is not interested in
5:56
cookies today. She's not here. She's in
5:58
the other room. She's like, "Nah, didn't
6:01
interest her."
6:03
Okay. 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
6:09
Boom.
6:12
All right. We're going to incorporate
6:13
that together. Your dough is going to
6:15
start getting thicker at this point.
6:17
Start slow.
6:19
Get that flour in there.
6:22
Get it on a higher speed.
6:25
And then don't forget your spatula to
6:28
get everything incorporated.
6:34
Just going to mash it all together.
6:37
Smells good in there, y'all. I smell
6:39
that pistachio in there on top of that
6:42
almond. It's going to taste so decadent.
6:48
People are going to wonder where you got
6:49
those flavors from. All right, one more
6:52
tough little step here. We're going to
6:54
incorporate our add-ins.
6:57
Let's take a look at them. We've got
7:00
half a cup of chocolate chips. These are
7:02
semieet.
7:05
About 1/4 to half a cup of green M&M's.
7:10
And then we have about half a cup of
7:14
shelled pistachios. So, we're going to
7:16
add them in.
7:21
Just take your spatula, fold them in.
7:25
Now, before this step, if you want to
7:27
add in some green food coloring and make
7:30
these really green cookies, you can do
7:32
that. Now, if it's too hard for you to
7:34
do this step, all you have to do is mix
7:36
the three mixins together. And then you
7:39
can place this on your cookie sheet
7:42
without the mixins. And then just place
7:44
a little bit of the mixins on top of the
7:46
cookie dough and smash it in. And then,
7:48
you know, you don't have to go through
7:49
this step right here, mixing it all
7:51
together.
7:53
Either way works fine.
7:59
Doesn't that look yummy? It smells
8:02
amazing. It does. All right, we're done
8:05
with the spatula. Grab you a cookie
8:07
scoop.
8:08
Your one and a half inch and we're going
8:11
to go in.
8:13
We're going to keep all the cookies the
8:15
same size. We're going to use the cookie
8:16
scoop.
8:18
Flatten it out on the edge there and
8:19
then pop it onto our sheetpan. Leave a
8:23
little bit of space in between because
8:24
we are going to flatten these cookies
8:25
out. It depends on how you like them. If
8:29
you like them round rounded more softer
8:32
on the inside, then leave them in that
8:35
bowl shape right here.
8:38
I'm going to flatten them out, though.
8:40
That's how I like them. Thomas will eat
8:43
them either way. He don't care. He's a
8:44
cookie monster. I'm going to take a
8:46
piece of parchment paper and I'm going
8:48
to place it on top of each mound of
8:50
cookie dough here and just flatten it
8:52
out just somewhat. I still want to give
8:55
it a little texture there.
8:58
Yeah.
9:02
All right. There we go. Woo! Look at
9:04
that. I'm preheating my oven to 375°.
9:07
We're going to bake the cookies for
9:09
about 8 to 10 minutes until they're nice
9:11
and kind of golden on the edges of the
9:13
cookie. Remove the cookies from the
9:16
oven. Let them sit on the pan for just a
9:18
few minutes before you remove them to a
9:20
wire rack to cool completely. I'll be
9:23
back. Give you a full count on all these
9:26
cookies and give them a try for you.
9:30
M.
9:34
All right, you guys. We made 48 cookies.
9:39
These are the leprechaun chocolate and
9:41
pistachio cookies. Perfect for St.
9:44
Patrick's Day. Y'all come on up. I'm
9:46
gonna show you one of these cookies.
9:48
Break it open for you and have you
9:50
drooling. Come on.
9:55
All right. They're nice and crispy on
9:57
the the edges.
9:59
Look at the inside. Nice and fluffy. I'm
10:03
glad I flattened these out.
10:06
Look at all the mixins. The M&M's, the
10:09
chocolate chips.
10:11
See the pistachio right there? Right,
10:14
you guys, I'm gonna give this a try for
10:17
you. Make sure you're subscribing. Make
10:19

10:28
Here we go.
10:34
M.
10:39
There's a lot going on in this little
10:41
cookie. Ask Thomas. He's already had a
10:44
few.
10:45
>> I've had one.
10:47
>> He's had a few.
10:48
>> I've had one.
10:50
>> I'm getting him in trouble.
10:52
>> All right, you guys. The pistachio in
10:54
there and also that almond extract just
10:57
kind of collide together and make a
10:58
delicious cookie.
11:01
Thumbs up, you guys. I'll see y'all on
11:04
the next one. Happy Saint Patrick's Day.
11:07
Hope you're wearing your green.
