Just to try it out, I mixed a half box of Duncan Hines orange cake with one-third cup oil, one egg, and some cream cheese flavored chips and baked them into cookies. It made 16 and they're tasty.
I actually like the peppermint kiss melting just a tad. Yours looked great! Ooh, I love that rolling pin! Oh my gosh, Valerie! Your gingerbread men came out SO cute! Love the red velvet cookies! I make a similar cookie but with brownie batter. Great ideas!
Try the pretzel crackers " flips sides " I think it's called . The same Christmas crack recipe with those pretzel crackers would be phenomenal. Ok bye Lolz😂😂
@@diybronwynsmith263 They are extremely scrumptious and very addictive, but very easy to make. And they're a no-bake cookie/candy which makes them even better. I don't have the recipe right on hand but if you do a search the recipe is very easy to find. There are several variations out there...most commonly found recipe uses Chinese noodles (Chow Mein noodles) Which are awesome! You'll find some people add marshmallows (mom never did) but the recipe my mom used was a little different...instead of the Chow Mein noodles she used the "Pik Nik" shoestring potatoes (they're in a yellow can and if I remember correctly, usually found in the potato chip aisle) which gives them a little more of the sweet/salty blend and whether it be due to taste, or simple nostalgia, my mom's version is definitely my preference! It's just melted butterscotch chips, peanut butter, peanuts and your choice of shoestring potatoes or Chinese noodles. You just mix it all together and drop a tablespoon or so on wax paper and let him set up
I don't think this video was too long. I enjoy seeing the extra steps you take decorating or adding additional variations. One tip for the gingerbread cookies (or any rolled out cookies) is to dip your cookie cutter in flour to help the cookie release from the cutter and not stick or break apart. Question: approximately how many cookies do you get out of a cake mix?? I realize it can vary based on the size of your cookie scoop or spoon, but I would guess about 2 dozen but if you can confirm, I would appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Valerie! I'm very happy to see the growth your channel has experienced this year. You have worked so hard on your videos. I really enjoy the collaboration videos you do. I love Julia's videos! I will check out her cookbook. Thank you for citing your reference and supporting fellow You Tube creator!
My friend made a favorite cookie by accident. She made a sugar cookie, and some crushed up candy cane got knocked into the dough that was meant for another goodie. She went with it and is a friends and family favorite.
@@paulettebaker5587 Bag of sugar cookie mix, prepare per directions and 2 to 3 tablespoons of crushed peppermint candy canes. Mix into dough and bake per regular directions on the package.
I love the longer videos! I appreciate all the extra tips and tricks you share. Thank you for being honest when things go wrong lol. You just make it fun. 🤗 You are so sweet to promote your friend Julia's cookbook. I got my copy a few weeks ago and it is really great! Now you need to get going on your own cookbook Valerie!!!
I bought 2 copies of Julia’s cookbook (I hope I’m talking about the right author ) one of them is a Christmas gift for a dear friend & the other is for me.
I just tried the cookies with the boxed cake mix and cream cheese added in, and rolled in powder sugar. So delicious! I used a devils food cake mix and i did add a handful of mini chocolate chips to the batter. Everyone loved them at work! Especially me! Thanks
Ok ya got me with Cake Mix today… 🙋🏻♀️ Yes I like it when your videos are longer because your narration is so good and informative. And yep, we know when you’re gonna say ‘I just had to decorate’ and you definitely have a flair for it.
I watch a LOT of cooking/baking videos and you are my favorite channel. Your directions are so easy to follow and I really appreciate that you include the things that don't go exactly as planned and that you include helpful tips. You could make hour long videos and I would watch. Merry Christmas 🎄
You are just the sweetest and that really reallynmeans a LOT to me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤ I hope you have a very Merry Christmas sweet friend. 🥰
I watch Julie's videos...went ahead and ordered cookbook, thanks to your video. So excited. Making the monster cookies tomorrow with my granddaughter after school.
Keep a saucer with flour to dip your cookie cutters in between uses it helps to prevent sticking. Chef gave this tip to me years ago he's right I've tried it really does work . 😊❤ loved your channel . 😊
Your videos are so well thought out and edited. You are so good at this. Excellent job! I love watching you bake. Your pretty accent is icing on the cake.
This is my first time to see your videos. I like it when you give the extra details so short and to the point or long with extra explanation are both good. Ty for sharing.
Hiya 👋 I found your channel by chance and i absolutely love it! I live in the u.k so a lot of the ingredients aren't available here but you are so friendly and i just love your receipes especially now Christmas is coming. I definitely will be subscribing! THANKYOU Valerie 💕
I just love your site and now make weekly so many of your recipes. They are simple, yet so good! Blessings to you and your family as we await the celebration of the birth of the Christ child. ❤
These were so nice. And yes I like it when you guys show what you do and take the time to show it in the right time. How long the video is not a problem to me.
Oh wow! I watch Julia Pacheco videos all the time! I actually have that cookbook too and have made a few of her dishes. She's great! That is so nice of you to promote her on your channel!
So glad I watched your cookie video. I saw a recipe for cake mix thumbprint cookies earlier today so I bought the one on sale-Betty Crocker. Since it's 13.25 do you think cutting back a smidge on other ingredients will balance out the recipe?
All the recipes look delicious! Valerie, I have been following you since Mel sent us over to your channel. I am so proud of your accomplishments with the growth of your channel. Merry Christmas and I wish you all the best in the new year sweet lady!❣️🎄
I don't mind the longer ones when it is good like yours . Hate long ones where you have to watch some one peel potatoe or break eggs ect. in SLOW motion !
I make a different version of cake mix cookies. It's my grand children's favorite and I can get 4 to 5 dozen cookies. Love the idea of adding the chocolate kisses!!!
All of your recipes look so good. I have 2 favorites, Russian Tea Cakes & the other is Spritz cookies. Both are my mom’s recipes. Have a wonderful Christmas!!
Valerie I just ran across your channel and I love it. I immediately subscribed. I use to stay in my kitchen hours making cookies from scratch. Several years ago I discovered the joy and ease of cake mix cookies. One my family enjoys is with a spice cake mix. It’s just so easy. Mix the mix with 1/2 cup oil and two eggs. Then stir in raisins and walnuts or pecans. Bake 8-10 minutes. Another one is with German chocolate cake mix. Just add oil and eggs. Chill then form into balls and wrap it around a roll. Dip the top in chopped pecans and bake at 350 for 8-10 mins. Will definitely be trying your recipes real soon. Thanks so much.
Those little peppermint kiss cookies look great to me. I always add the kisses in Pnut butter blossoms right out of the oven. The little Gingerbread cookies, so cute. I l8ve Red Velvet anything. I really love Red Velvet with the old time Ermine Buttercream. I really appreciate Thumbprint cookies. Lemon with Blueberry would be good. Really like Monster cookies, and have never heard of using cake mix. The German Chocolate cookies sound delicious. I really love the old time sugar cookies and pnut butter blossoms, they are about my favorite. Thanx. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS!!!!
Hi Valarie. I don't always comment but I am always here watching and supporting. I just want to say how much I enjoy your channel and content. This video was chocked full of cookie recipes I want to try. I don't mind the longer videos at all. I'd watch whatever you make for us. Girl, those gingerbread cookies were adorable and so professional-looking. I'd say they belong in a bakery shoppe window. I am a huge fan of Julia's channel as well. It makes me smile how you have included some of her recipes and her new cookbook in some of the most recent videos you've made. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas holiday. Stay safe and take good care, dear one.
Hey Cindy!🥰 I appreciate that so much, and Thank You!❤ Julia has been so much of an inspiration to me. I know now the hard work it takes to make videos. And to write a cookbook on top of all that?!?! I may not be able to help a ton, but I will help her any way I can. She amazes me.... im so happy for her and I'm here to root her on! 😊 I hope you and your family have a wonderful and very Merry Christmas my sweet friend. ❤
I absolutely adore your channel I love your Southern Magnolia ladyness.. Your transparency is so refreshing and I really really am appreciative of delicious but simple easy recipes that don't cost an arm and a leg because where I live groceries are super super super expensive
I like the longer videos as long as they are kept on-subject. I made the Duncan Strawberry (Cake) Cookies recently and oh what flavor they had without any added flavor but second time I made them, I did add extra vanilla. Thanks for all the great ideas. Holiday blessings and Merry Christmas to all!!
Longer videos are not a problem for me. Long or short, i watch them all. Love your content.
