Hey!! I was just thinking about you hoping you were feeling great!! I realize this is a prerecorded video as it's so close to the baby arriving. We're all praying for a easy birth! 🎄❤️🙏🏻
I am binging your shows to try to get caught up and I don't normally comment on such an old video, but I just had to say (before I forgot) that I admire the men in your family. Although it should be more the norm, it is refreshing to hear about the men in your life. Your husband does the sweeping and vacuuming, your father doing a deep clean of the kitchen after you and your mom do a huge prep or cooking day, your brother-in-law who cooks to contribute to a family feast, your husband's friend who can make focaccia bread, Josh doing his own laundry and not leaning on you to do that, even though you work from home, etc. I notice that stuff when you post it and I LOVE that for you and your family. They all sound like quality men and that's so nice to see not just one example, but many. I love your channel and I wish only good things for you and your family.
I got married back in 1975. I’m old. Lol. I was gifted a KitchenAid Mixer on a stand. I loved it. Used it all the time. I’ve moved so many times. I don’t have that now. I cannot remember what I did with it. Can’t remember if it broke. I have been without it for over 25 years. The other night a Black Friday special from QVC (yes. Im addicted) popped up in my emails. It was SUCH AN AMAZING DEAL!!!! I bought myself a Christmas present! My first one was a ‘70s Gold color. Red is my favorite color. Yep, I got a red one. Now every time you pull out your mixer, I get excited. Mine will be here next week. Yay!!!♥️♥️♥️
Josh saying I'm surprised you didn't add zucinni had me laughing so loud my husband jumped. I'm hoping that everything is going well with you all and your little blessing.
You’re so ambitious, Becky! It’s obvious you “banked” videos for us to enjoy while you are at the end of your pregnancy. I hope you’re getting enough rest! We all love you and are praying you have (or had 😊) an easy labor and delivery! ❤
Becky is so cute talking about postpartum activities. Babies have a way of teaching new parents a thing or two about who really runs the show. I wish all of them a wonderful transition from a couple to a precious famlily of three.
@@DreamweaversHomestead on the serious side - if you have having issues with fertility - folic acid can cause infertility and miscarriage in women who have the MTHFR mutation (40% of the population has it and most don't know it). Make sure you are taking methlyated folate instead of synthetic folic acid. Synthetic B12 can cause issues too - stay away from cyanocobalamin (synthetic B12) and look for methylcobalamin.
Love her pregnancy brain. Gonna pop these cookies in the oven to freeze 🥶😂 love you Becky! Awesome recipe ideas. Thank you! The oatmeal adding white chocolate, cranberries and pecans. Brilliant!
Who else was glad to hear the timer go off for the nuts?! When she put them in the oven I was yelling “set the timer Becky!!” 🤣 Thinking of you today especially Becky…let’s hope baby is on time! 😍
We are all praying for a good and easy delivery. God bless you. Thanks for the video and how thoughtful of you to keep our addiction of your channel going for us.
Hi Becky! You know, you could spoon out 1/4 of the cookie dough and put your nuts in and keep them separated while baking, so YOU can have your cookies WITH nuts while keeping the main balance of the dough without nuts. My family didn't like chocolate chips in cookies (the horror!), so I only put them in the portion of the dough I made cookies for just ME! The balance was baked without chips.
Becky thank you for still putting out videos. As another viewer stated "banking" videos is so smart and thoughtful to us viewers. Even with all you have going on u still manage to think of others. Always an inspiration. Hope you baby and Josh are doing well assuming you've had the baby.. Can't wait to find out if baby is a boy or a girl! Many blessings to you and ALL of your family.
Becky, thank you for all your tutorials. I'm in my late late 70's and have always had a reading issue. Thank you for sharing your challanges. Your tutorials are informative, inspiring and your energy is amazing. Enjoy your day, stay healthy and the very best to you, Josh and your family.
Becky I used to read a lot of blogs before discovering what was on UA-cam. Many of these individual bloggers have gone on to write award winning cookbooks.I still do read my favorite blogs. One of the big recommendations from many was to chill cookie dough before scooping them onto sheets to bake. The recommendation was to place your dough in the fridge to chill allowing the fats to cool. As a result, the cookies will expand more slowly, holding onto their texture. Chill anywhere from 24 to 72 hours but shorter times also help. The longer you chill the dough, the more flavor will develop. The flour will also absorb more of the moisture so the thicker and chewier the final texture will be. It is better chilled in the fridge. It is the same technique when making puff pastry and pie crusts. I just place my whole bowl in the fridge. I am discovering this is really important when using ancient grains.
Oh Becky, I’m so happy to see a video from you! I’m also very curious if you’ve had your precious little baby yet. Please let us know when you have time. Blessings and prayers. ❤️🙏
I freeze my cookie dough in logs wrapped in plastic wrap then when I want some I just cut off the amount I want and slice it up and bake it. It's super easy!! I hope all is well with you and Josh and the baby. I have been waiting patiently to hear any news! Wishing you the best with your delivery!!💕
Fun retro fact: During the 70’s some time after Pringles were invented, it became a popular trend to use the empty tubes/lids as storage containers for frugal home bakers to freeze their wrapped cookie dough logs in. Lol…Yes, I’m that old that I remember it first hand.
Such a great idea to make and freeze cookie dough to use whenever you want. My 92 year old dad lives with me and he would love a warm cookie in the evening with a glass of milk! 🍪 🍪🍪
Woo Hoo, a Becky video!!! It just so happens I’m making the Brown Butter chocolate chip cookie recipe today! I’m quadrupling the recipe because I’ll scoop them out and flash-freeze them so I can bag them up for ease of baking from frozen. Making some dough for a cookie exchange as well as a family gathering. It’s our favorite cookie recipe now. I like nuts in my cookies as well so I just add them to the top of a few of the cookies. Everyone gets what they like.
I wish I had a freezer big enough to put a cookie sheet in it. I take a big glob of cookie dough and put it on waxed paper and roll it into a roll like a long cinnamon roll log and scrimp up the ends. I keep them in a gallon freezer bag. You can use a scoop and make them all the same shape. Saved space for me. I'll try your idea when my freezer allows space. Anxious to hear all about the little one that is soon arriving. You are so prepared! Wishing you blessings!!!
@Marlene Bennett when I flash freeze cookies I just use an 8x8 tin, put parchment paper in the bottom, a layer of cookies (I put them as close as I can) then a layer of parchment, another layer of cookies and keep repeating. This way its only a small tin but I have loads of layers. Even if you don't have space for that size you can always remove a piece of meat as you're only putting the tin in for an hour or so it won't thaw out
Team chewy. Thanks for being so thoughtful and having videos during your baby’s arrival time period. We love your videos. Praying for an easy delivery.
Soft and chewy all the way! I make literally a couple thousand cookies every year for the holidays for gift baskets. I make all cookie dough as much as several months ahead and I freeze them just like you did. They come out so much better from frozen. Love watching you! Happy baking!
@@tabeamuller6467 no I put them directly into preheated oven. It takes about 5 minutes longer time than recipe says. They come out great!! Merry Christmas!!!
I am agree with Most of the comments here that this is a prerecorded video ! I hope you are feeling well and if you had the baby I hope that you, josh and the baby are doing great! As to Adding corn starch to a batch of cookies it make them a little more like a cake consistency after it is baked! Love Love your video's. They make my day!
I so enjoyed this. Went cookie crazy when I was close to having my baby. We didn’t have room to freeze the dough. Family, friends, neighbors were all recipients of my frenzy. 😂
Becky! Viennese Cresants are made with ground hazelnuts or almonds - Most people don't even know they have nuts in them but the flavor is there. Try grinding the pecans in that butter pecan cookie recipe. I can't wait to try that one, because I'm just now starting to crack, pick and store the fresh pecans from my trees! Yum!
Ooooh I love those little things it’s so easy to destroy a whole box. They just give you pretty bad indigestion because they’re super fatty from all the nuts lol. Becky probably wouldn’t like this version though bc she said she likes chewy and grinding the nuts leads to a dry and crumbly texture like the Crescents have.
I make my own brown sugar now thanks to one of your other videos. I don’t have to worry about stiff bags anymore. I also make my own powder sugar too! It does not need to be sifted :))
Team Crunchy! And must be golden brown! Pale cookies are a no go in my home. And we love raisins! lol But, everyone has their own preferences and thank God for that! Thinking of you this morning, Becky darlin!
Last year I was having such a hard time with my cookies spreading in the oven! But after much more testing I finally got them to not spread 🙌🙌 thank you for sharing these recipes Becky! You're such a blessing to this community and we love you!
I use half butter/half crisco in my cookies and brownies to get a good texture. W basic chocolate chip, i add a cup of oatmeal and a cup of pecan pieces and it makes for a much less doughy cookie...delish :)
@@kathyharper7187 yes! I found it was a mix of melting the butter too far, not creaming the butter and sugar enough, and needing to refrigerate! Now I just do those things and they come out wonderful. The spread out cookies are good too, but I'm glad I figured it out
I had the same issue for awhile and then I realized that Walmart butter had liquid in it. They don’t drain off all the whey when they make the butter. I suppose they do it to save money but I started using name-brand butter and it solved the problem…
@@kathkwilts 😲😲😲 that's crazy! I do use Walmart butter 🤔🤔 and that actually explains a lot of happenings in my kitchen! I will definitely be testing this thank you *so much*. This deserves to be a highlighted comment imo
Thank you for blessing us with these videos while you are away!! I'm sure baby is here by now, sending lots of love and prayers for you, Josh and the little one!!! ❤️ Team chewy cookie all the way!!
Becky, I loved rewatching this today, and realized how much I miss Josh, and his input! I love getting my husbands input, and I enjoy hearing Josh too! Any chance we can see or hear from him again soon?
Becky & Josh congratulations on your new home…and baby (hopefully your bundle of joy is in your arms and you are getting rest). Can I say I miss your old kitchen? :) I found your channel a couple years ago during lockdown so I’m used to seeing you in that setting baking for the holidays. But I love how you have all of your baking supplies so organized in your new kitchen. You’re awesome! I made Christmas Crack from last years recipe and gifted them to my neighbors last night. They were so happy. Thank you Becky for bringing some joy to all our lives.
Yay!kids are napping and I have a quiet afternoon of making Christmas candies to sell at our local store, so happy to see a new video to watch as I'm working. Blessings Becky 🙌 😊
Hello amazing Becky! I made the Snicker doodles today.. being in Australia this is not one we are familiar with. I added PB into the recipe, and when I taste tested them, well just know I did the bestest Becky eye googling ‘this is delicious’ look I could!! YUUUUMMMM…😂🎉
Hi Becky! Funny story, I’m planning to go to my boyfriends grandmas house tomorrow to bake some Christmas goodies… I asked my boyfriend if there’s anything he’d like, his response was CHEWY snickerdoodle cookies… my first thought after he said that was to check your channel and see if you had any recipes for that.. When you were reading through the cookies you’d be making in todays video I did a happy dance when you said CHEWY SNICKERDOODLE!! Thank you so much ❤️
Also, you’ve been on my mind these past few days.. I know baby time is around this time.. Praying for you, Josh and baby!! Hoping you have a pleasant birth and are getting some yummy baby snuggles ❤️
I find it very interesting to see what other households make for Christmas cookies. I make a lot of these classics throughout the year, but we love them all the time.
Becky, all the cookies look so good. Cookies are my downfall! The oatmeal and snicker noodles are my favorite. I am making cookies tonight. Thank you so much for caring and sharing with all of us. I pray your feeling good and your resting as much as you need to. Your mom and dad will love the baked cookies to enjoy on the way home or later in the evening with coffee or tea. You take care and rest and take care of yourself. Till next time Betty 🙏🙏🥰🥰
Hi Becky, I have made cookie dough for Christmas. I love the idea of just baking a few at a time and having warm cookies when ever I want them. Your cookies looked delicious. Your Dad is the sweetest ❤ Until next time take care❤
Hi Becky, I found these recipes very interesting, my kids would have loved them, such a good idea to use that small ice cream scoop to make sure your cookies were all the same size. Years ago, when we lived in Canada, my Mum used to have a making day when she would make cookies for us to take to school and Dad to take to work. She would make up several different kinds but they would be made into logs and wrapped in baking paper, then saran wrap before freezing, then when she wanted to cook them she would just slice off the number she wanted, then re wrap and in 10 to 15 minutes she had a batch of fresh cookies in whatever flavour we wanted. They were great, so much better than the store brought ones. Take care xx
Oh Becky, we love you for everything you do and because you are such a nice person and a great teacher to so many of us! I hope you are enjoying so so well deserved down time. I/ we can not wait to hear about your new chapter. Love from Ontario Canada xo
I'm 60 years old, and watching you, is the first time it's dawned on me to freeze the dough balls, and not the baked cookies. My husband absolutely LOVES fresh from the oven cookies! It's been a delight to be sitting, watching TV, and at any time, I can ask him if he wants cookies, and I know if he does, there will be hot cookies in less than 30 minutes! .y son in-law doesn't eat sweets often, but he also likes fresh baked cookies, so I took a bag of frozen dough balls, with baking instructions, and gave them to him to hide in the freezer, to bake any time he wanted them!
Glad to see you! I hope you and Josh are resting with baby ( if baby has decided it's time to be born yet ). Wishing you, Josh and baby a Merry Christmas. Enjoy your first Christmas as parents and be sure to take it easy when you can. ❤
I just got a Kitchenaid mixer a week ago and will be using it to bake Christmas cookies this weekend. I’ve never used one before, so this video is a great resource at the perfect time. I’m only 15m into the vid and I’ve already learned so much. Thank you!!
My bet on baby Bday is Dec 3rd first choice; Dec 7th second choice. My gut says baby is already here. Praying for you dear Becky and Josh. You’re blessed abundantly.
I'm definitely a soft chewy cookie person! If you leave the sugar off the snicker doodle it would be more chewy. Also I've never put egg in my peanut butter cookies. I make them the same way, just minus the egg. They turn out soft and chewy every time. I'll definitely have to try the butter pecan! I lovvve butter pecan ice cream! Its my favorite too! Thanks for the recipes and great fun in the kitchen! Have a blessed weekend! 💞🙏
Yay a video! But...all I can keep thinking is "I wonder if baby is here yet? Oh I hope someone posts on community page once little one is here!" I think we're ALL excited & on tenderhooks.
@@robertlavigne6560 I just made a raspberry jello fluff last night! It was delicious. 😂 I thought about how they used to make lime jello with carrots in those molds that look like bundt pans. 🤢
Try adding dried cranberries and white chocolate chips (and toasted chopped walnuts) to your cinnamon oatmeal cookies. My absolute favorite 'healthy' cookie. You can leave the nuts out when you make the dough and just add a few to yours when you bake them. That way you get the nuts you enjoy and Josh gets his without.
Never thought of freezing the dough already shaped. That will be a game changer for me. I put a load of shortbread in the freezer. Just baked snickerdoodles for the first time, sharing them at work. I love baking for christmas and I want to make some new stuff this year.
This video is right on time for my family! I have plans to go to my moms with my kids to make cookies on Sunday. I already have plans to do some recipes from your videos last year. Thank you so much for sharing your trials and errors too btw! It’s hard trying new things and trusting they’ll turn out lol ❤❤❤ Edit: p.s. we have some nut allergies in our family so we do the whole batch without and then separate half and add nuts to the second half so that there’s something for everyone! Just make sure to store them separately
Omg I never realized that they were making silicone freezer bags until I saw your videos I’m excited so I won’t be buying those other bags anymore I’ve bought me a bit of a stock pile lol thank you so much I look forward to your videos every day after work I come home I sit at my kitchen table and watch your videos as well as some others from UA-cam but I just love watching and seeing things change And grow I’m so excited and happy for you and Josh for the new baby I can’t wait to be able to see mama Becky
My youngest daughter and I started our cookie cooking. We called it the hot mess cookie express. Wish us luck. They will hopefully make it until December.
In any recipe, baked or otherwise, unless it specifically calls for raw nuts, roasting them is always a great decision. It brings out so much more flavor. How many times I've watched baking competitions and they always stick them if they haven't toasted their nuts. All these recipes sound great!
Love your videos as always Becky! Maybe next time you're making the chocolate chip cookie dough, scoop half of the dough into balls then add in walnuts to the remaining dough. Then, you and Josh both get the kind of cookies you like!
Love that saying ; Work smarter not harder. So true ! An old friend of ours used to say ; Plan the work and work the plan. My grown son still quotes him 20 -25 years later ! 😉
Becky, I am so excited for you and your family and the baby. You are all so sweet and babies are such a huge and ongoing blessing. Praying for a good delivery and a happy and healthy 4th trimester!
Hi Becky you work so hard at making sure everyone gets the the treats they like the best, now it's your turn. split the chocolate chip dough in half and add walnuts to your half 🤗 yummy tummy!
Thank you for this video you inspired me. Today I whipped up the snickerdoodles and the peanut butter cookies and the chocolate chip oatmeal. I froze all but six of the peanut butter since that was the one everyone wanted to test out. They were delicious!
We are making up a bunch of cookie doughs this weekend! Try putting butterscotch chips in your oatmeal/cinnamon cookies and perhaps adding Reeses Pieces or Peanut Butter Chips to your Peanut Butter cookies. I also exchange out M&M's in my chocolate chip cookie recipe - so good! Have you ever just made molasses cookies? Stay warm/safe and excited for babies arrival!
I sometimes split my dough into two separate doughs and add the nuts or cranberries to half so we have half and half for those who like and don't like. My son and husband love my oatmeal chocolate cookies recipe as they are thick soft and chewy. My son ate PB and Jelly sandwiches growing up however he hates peanut butter anything now. Your cookies sound like they turned out perfect.
Wow this is so awesome to have all this cookie dough prepped in the freezer and it will be a fun thing to do with my two granddaughters ages 6 and 7 🥰. Thanks Becky praying all goes well with you and the birth of your healthy baby ❤️ God bless you and your family 🙏🏻❤️🥰
Hey!! I was just thinking about you hoping you were feeling great!! I realize this is a prerecorded video as it's so close to the baby arriving. We're all praying for a easy birth! 🎄❤️🙏🏻

Everyone told me that and my son was way opposite. Slept 12hrs overnight+ naps immediately from birth & rarely cried. You never know :)
Same with my third & last child, he spoiled me

I was thinking the same thing pregnancy brain. I know these are prerecorded I just hope she take it easy.
I was thinking that when she said she was adding a cup of baking soda. I hope her and the baby are getting lots of rest.
She's so real, it's what I love about her the most.
That's how I make my oatmeal cookies, but instead of pecans, I add macadamia nuts.

I would split the dough in half so that both Becky and Josh have an equal amount of cookies 🍪 ❤
💯
I just always added nuts to the tops of the cookies so that I don’t have to make two separate batches. I just add nuts to a few
I do same thing, I love nuts, hubby doesnt

@@RedRoseSeptember22 I believe that was around Thanksgiving
I think either yesterday or today is her due date. Her emails came out saying it was a day before her due date.

Dried cranberries are great in oatmeal cookies when you don't like raisins. I dry my own so they're not full of sugar and it's cranberry season!
What a lovely idea! My family doesn’t enjoyed baked raisins, but they might like cranberries!
Josh's little giggle with his zucchini remark. He's just so cute...lol you're both gonna be awesome parent's

Brandee Goodnight - thank you for answering me! I will definitely try that! Merry Christmas to you! 🎄
I am agree with Most of the comments here that this is a prerecorded video ! I hope you are feeling well and if you had the baby I hope that you, josh and the baby are doing great! As to Adding corn starch to a batch of cookies it make them a little more like a cake consistency after it is baked! Love Love your video's. They make my day!
I so enjoyed this. Went cookie crazy when I was close to having my baby. We didn’t have room to freeze the dough. Family, friends, neighbors were all recipients of my frenzy. 😂
Thank you Becky! You can also top the peanut butter cookies with a Hershey kiss on top the last 4 minutes of baking to add chocolate 😊
That’s what I do 😊
Becky! Viennese Cresants are made with ground hazelnuts or almonds - Most people don't even know they have nuts in them but the flavor is there. Try grinding the pecans in that butter pecan cookie recipe. I can't wait to try that one, because I'm just now starting to crack, pick and store the fresh pecans from my trees! Yum!
Ooooh I love those little things it’s so easy to destroy a whole box. They just give you pretty bad indigestion because they’re super fatty from all the nuts lol.
Becky probably wouldn’t like this version though bc she said she likes chewy and grinding the nuts leads to a dry and crumbly texture like the Crescents have.
I don't think in all my 71 years I have frozen cookie dough! Thank you for the inspiration and to get ahead of my baking for Christmas!♥ xo Deb
I make my own brown sugar now thanks to one of your other videos. I don’t have to worry about stiff bags anymore. I also make my own powder sugar too! It does not need to be sifted :))
Reese’s pieces are really good in the peanut butter cookies🎉
Happy Holidays Everyone! Thank you Becky. Now for afternoon coffee and Becky video.
Can’t wait for baby announcement 🎉. And I enjoy this video so much, I’ve watched it 3 times.
Becky, we’re all praying for a easy delivery. 🙏💙
Praying you are doing well! Cant wait to see an update on baby! I know its getting sp close! Prayers for a safe delivery and healthy Momma and baby!
Team Crunchy!
And must be golden brown! Pale cookies are a no go in my home. And we love raisins! lol
But, everyone has their own preferences and thank God for that!
Thinking of you this morning, Becky darlin!
Last year I was having such a hard time with my cookies spreading in the oven! But after much more testing I finally got them to not spread 🙌🙌 thank you for sharing these recipes Becky! You're such a blessing to this community and we love you!
I use half butter/half crisco in my cookies and brownies to get a good texture.
W basic chocolate chip, i add a cup of oatmeal and a cup of pecan pieces and it makes for a much less doughy cookie...delish :)
Put the dough in the fridge for 30mins or so then they wont spread…the butter is too warm
@@kathyharper7187 yes! I found it was a mix of melting the butter too far, not creaming the butter and sugar enough, and needing to refrigerate! Now I just do those things and they come out wonderful. The spread out cookies are good too, but I'm glad I figured it out
I had the same issue for awhile and then I realized that Walmart butter had liquid in it. They don’t drain off all the whey when they make the butter. I suppose they do it to save money but I started using name-brand butter and it solved the problem…
@@kathkwilts 😲😲😲 that's crazy! I do use Walmart butter 🤔🤔 and that actually explains a lot of happenings in my kitchen! I will definitely be testing this thank you *so much*. This deserves to be a highlighted comment imo
Thank you for blessing us with these videos while you are away!! I'm sure baby is here by now, sending lots of love and prayers for you, Josh and the little one!!! ❤️
Team chewy cookie all the way!!
I made my own brown sugar, used it all and just made another batch yesterday. I love it it does stay fresh and yes the quality
Becky, I loved rewatching this today, and realized how much I miss Josh, and his input! I love getting my husbands input, and I enjoy hearing Josh too! Any chance we can see or hear from him again soon?
Becky & Josh congratulations on your new home…and baby (hopefully your bundle of joy is in your arms and you are getting rest).
Can I say I miss your old kitchen? :) I found your channel a couple years ago during lockdown so I’m used to seeing you in that setting baking for the holidays. But I love how you have all of your baking supplies so organized in your new kitchen. You’re awesome!
I made Christmas Crack from last years recipe and gifted them to my neighbors last night. They were so happy. Thank you Becky for bringing some joy to all our lives.
Corn starch helps rolled cookies keep their shape. Love all these recipes! I made your snowball cookies today!
Yay!kids are napping and I have a quiet afternoon of making Christmas candies to sell at our local store, so happy to see a new video to watch as I'm working. Blessings Becky 🙌 😊
Hello amazing Becky! I made the Snicker doodles today.. being in Australia this is not one we are familiar with. I added PB into the recipe, and when I taste tested them, well just know I did the bestest Becky eye googling ‘this is delicious’ look I could!! YUUUUMMMM…😂🎉
Becky... You crack me up. I love your gorgeous expressive eyes when you and Josh do taste tests.I love all that you do.
Hi Becky! Funny story, I’m planning to go to my boyfriends grandmas house tomorrow to bake some Christmas goodies… I asked my boyfriend if there’s anything he’d like, his response was CHEWY snickerdoodle cookies… my first thought after he said that was to check your channel and see if you had any recipes for that.. When you were reading through the cookies you’d be making in todays video I did a happy dance when you said CHEWY SNICKERDOODLE!! Thank you so much ❤️
Also, you’ve been on my mind these past few days.. I know baby time is around this time.. Praying for you, Josh and baby!! Hoping you have a pleasant birth and are getting some yummy baby snuggles ❤️
I find it very interesting to see what other households make for Christmas cookies. I make a lot of these classics throughout the year, but we love them all the time.

I was proud of you when you said you would slow down. Everyone will be surprised that if they slow down, they get a more harmonies out come. 🥰❤
I bet Josh loved coming home to the smell and taste of so many different homemade cookies!
Becky, all the cookies look so good. Cookies are my downfall! The oatmeal and snicker noodles are my favorite. I am making cookies tonight. Thank you so much for caring and sharing with all of us. I pray your feeling good and your resting as much as you need to. Your mom and dad will love the baked cookies to enjoy on the way home or later in the evening with coffee or tea. You take care and rest and take care of yourself. Till next time Betty 🙏🙏🥰🥰
Fabulous recipes Becky. I can’t believe you’re still doing this so close to your due date! You are so amazing 😻
Becky, thank you for the BRILLIANT suggestion of adding chocolate chips to peanut butter cookies. I am 1000% doing that!!!
That’s already a thing.
Hi Becky, I have made cookie dough for Christmas. I love the idea of just baking a few at a time and having warm cookies when ever I want them. Your cookies looked delicious. Your Dad is the sweetest ❤ Until next time take care❤
Hi Becky, I found these recipes very interesting, my kids would have loved them, such a good idea to use that small ice cream scoop to make sure your cookies were all the same size.
Years ago, when we lived in Canada, my Mum used to have a making day when she would make cookies for us to take to school and Dad to take to work. She would make up several different kinds but they would be made into logs and wrapped in baking paper, then saran wrap before freezing, then when she wanted to cook them she would just slice off the number she wanted, then re wrap and in 10 to 15 minutes she had a batch of fresh cookies in whatever flavour we wanted. They were great, so much better than the store brought ones. Take care xx
Oh Becky, we love you for everything you do and because you are such a nice person and a great teacher to so many of us! I hope you are enjoying so so well deserved down time. I/ we can not wait to hear about your new chapter. Love from Ontario Canada xo
I'm 60 years old, and watching you, is the first time it's dawned on me to freeze the dough balls, and not the baked cookies. My husband absolutely LOVES fresh from the oven cookies! It's been a delight to be sitting, watching TV, and at any time, I can ask him if he wants cookies, and I know if he does, there will be hot cookies in less than 30 minutes! .y son in-law doesn't eat sweets often, but he also likes fresh baked cookies, so I took a bag of frozen dough balls, with baking instructions, and gave them to him to hide in the freezer, to bake any time he wanted them!
Hi Becky, I had no idea it was that easy to make your own Brown sugar thank you for sharing that recipe. Hope you guys are all well.
It tastes better too! I’ve been making it since watching Becky in an earlier video!
I also have been making my own since watching Becky make it months ago. It tastes so much better.
I just did this the other day and put cookie dough in the freezer because I get lazy in the winter lol
I had no idea either, going to start making my own now! I learn so much from her.
Making brown sugar is easy. You can also make powdered sugar with regular white sugar too.
This, in my opinion, video is one of the best you have produced. So real... and so funny! I thank you for making me laugh.
Glad to see you! I hope you and Josh are resting with baby ( if baby has decided it's time to be born yet ). Wishing you, Josh and baby a Merry Christmas. Enjoy your first Christmas as parents and be sure to take it easy when you can. ❤
Congratulations on your little bundle of joy. Hope your little one allows his parents to get enough sleep.
Becky you're just the cutest. I love watching you bake. I hope you and baby are taking it easy and getting some rest before the big day ❤
I just got a Kitchenaid mixer a week ago and will be using it to bake Christmas cookies this weekend. I’ve never used one before, so this video is a great resource at the perfect time. I’m only 15m into the vid and I’ve already learned so much. Thank you!!
I've added chocolate chips or Reese's pieces to my peanut butter cookies, and it's so good. And I loved Butter Pecan ice cream as a kid, still do!!
My bet on baby Bday is Dec 3rd first choice; Dec 7th second choice. My gut says baby is already here. Praying for you dear Becky and Josh. You’re blessed abundantly.
You have inspired me to start my holiday baking tonight. I am going to definitely try the chewy peanut butter cookies.
I just love the idea of preparing cookie dough and freezing it, plus making different cookies at a time. Your very wise Becky.
I'm definitely a soft chewy cookie person! If you leave the sugar off the snicker doodle it would be more chewy. Also I've never put egg in my peanut butter cookies. I make them the same way, just minus the egg. They turn out soft and chewy every time. I'll definitely have to try the butter pecan! I lovvve butter pecan ice cream! Its my favorite too! Thanks for the recipes and great fun in the kitchen! Have a blessed weekend! 💞🙏
Thank you for teaching me how to make my own brown sugar!!! Love how much this oldie is learning from you!!
Yay a video! But...all I can keep thinking is "I wonder if baby is here yet? Oh I hope someone posts on community page once little one is here!" I think we're ALL excited & on tenderhooks.
From a Louisiana Lady... Pecans - Puh Cahns :) Thanks for the great video... Right on Time
You’re a wonder baking all these cookies and making it look so easy! Love your videos. Praying that things go well with the birth of your little one!
Soft and Chewy! Our neighbor, Mrs. King, used to make Snickerdoodle cookies for us as kids! I used to make them as part of my Christmas Cookie baking!
Snickerdoodles was the very first cookie we made in Home Ec (for those of you old enough to remember Home Ec 😉)
I certainly remember home EC one semester of cooking and baking. Second-semester sewing. Happy cooking and baking, Debbie Lavigne
My first recipe in Home Ec was biscuits. :)
I definitely remember HE took all 4 years, wanted to teach HE, learned a lot.
@Morpheus Zzz OMG, ours was jello, something I mastered years before. (Remember all of the fancy jello recipes?)
@@robertlavigne6560 I just made a raspberry jello fluff last night! It was delicious. 😂 I thought about how they used to make lime jello with carrots in those molds that look like bundt pans. 🤢
Becky and Josh just find a way to make this Community feel like home, don't they. So looking forward to meeting Baby!
❤🙏❤🙏❤

Try adding dried cranberries and white chocolate chips (and toasted chopped walnuts) to your cinnamon oatmeal cookies. My absolute favorite 'healthy' cookie. You can leave the nuts out when you make the dough and just add a few to yours when you bake them. That way you get the nuts you enjoy and Josh gets his without.
it's funny that she suggested these exact mix ins later in the video as her examples.
Wishing you a safe and healthy delivery for everyone.
Butter Pecan ice cream has always been my fave also! 😋❤️
Never thought of freezing the dough already shaped. That will be a game changer for me. I put a load of shortbread in the freezer. Just baked snickerdoodles for the first time, sharing them at work. I love baking for christmas and I want to make some new stuff this year.
This video is right on time for my family! I have plans to go to my moms with my kids to make cookies on Sunday. I already have plans to do some recipes from your videos last year. Thank you so much for sharing your trials and errors too btw! It’s hard trying new things and trusting they’ll turn out lol ❤❤❤
Edit: p.s. we have some nut allergies in our family so we do the whole batch without and then separate half and add nuts to the second half so that there’s something for everyone! Just make sure to store them separately
Definitely team chewy! The crunchy cookie I like is ginger snap, but those are also amazing when chewy as well!
Oh just in time for my Becky fix. Hope you all are doing wonderfully and hope for a stress free birth. We are all rooting and praying for ya’ll. ❤
Omg I never realized that they were making silicone freezer bags until I saw your videos I’m excited so I won’t be buying those other bags anymore I’ve bought me a bit of a stock pile lol thank you so much I look forward to your videos every day after work I come home I sit at my kitchen table and watch your videos as well as some others from UA-cam but I just love watching and seeing things change And grow I’m so excited and happy for you and Josh for the new baby I can’t wait to be able to see mama Becky
Hope your doing okay Becky, looking forward to you hopefully introducing us to your precious baby if you can. Much love to you and your family ❤
Can't wait to meet baby acre. Have wonderful family time and enjoy! We all LOVE you!
My youngest daughter and I started our cookie cooking. We called it the hot mess cookie express. Wish us luck. They will hopefully make it until December.
Have Fun 🎉
In any recipe, baked or otherwise, unless it specifically calls for raw nuts, roasting them is always a great decision. It brings out so much more flavor. How many times I've watched baking competitions and they always stick them if they haven't toasted their nuts. All these recipes sound great!
Love your videos as always Becky! Maybe next time you're making the chocolate chip cookie dough, scoop half of the dough into balls then add in walnuts to the remaining dough. Then, you and Josh both get the kind of cookies you like!
Great idea :)
Love that saying ; Work smarter not harder. So true ! An old friend of ours used to say ; Plan the work and work the plan. My grown son still quotes him 20 -25 years later ! 😉
Becky, I am so excited for you and your family and the baby. You are all so sweet and babies are such a huge and ongoing blessing. Praying for a good delivery and a happy and healthy 4th trimester!
Congratulations Becky. I'm so glad for you and Josh. 5 Boys myself. The biggest gifts I ever had. ❤️😉👍Denmark
I look forward to your videos everyday!! Patiently waiting for the baby announcement!! I’m not too far behind you 😊
Hi Becky you work so hard at making sure everyone gets the the treats they like the best, now it's your turn. split the chocolate chip dough in half and add walnuts to your half 🤗 yummy tummy!
So good to see you and perfect timing. Working on my list of cookies to make. Merry Christmas to you and your family. ❤
Thank you for this video you inspired me. Today I whipped up the snickerdoodles and the peanut butter cookies and the chocolate chip oatmeal. I froze all but six of the peanut butter since that was the one everyone wanted to test out. They were delicious!
We are making up a bunch of cookie doughs this weekend! Try putting butterscotch chips in your oatmeal/cinnamon cookies and perhaps adding Reeses Pieces or Peanut Butter Chips to your Peanut Butter cookies. I also exchange out M&M's in my chocolate chip cookie recipe - so good! Have you ever just made molasses cookies? Stay warm/safe and excited for babies arrival!
Mini reese's peanut butter cup in the middle of the peanut butter cookie
Butterscotch chips in almost any cookie is good...IMO.
I think she has a vid on making molasses cookies.
I sometimes split my dough into two separate doughs and add the nuts or cranberries to half so we have half and half for those who like and don't like. My son and husband love my oatmeal chocolate cookies recipe as they are thick soft and chewy. My son ate PB and Jelly sandwiches growing up however he hates peanut butter anything now. Your cookies sound like they turned out perfect.
Wow this is so awesome to have all this cookie dough prepped in the freezer and it will be a fun thing to do with my two granddaughters ages 6 and 7 🥰. Thanks Becky praying all goes well with you and the birth of your healthy baby ❤️ God bless you and your family 🙏🏻❤️🥰
The timing of this video is perfect since I was planning on cooking up and freezing cookie dough this weekend!
What a wonderful idea! You have opened up a whole new world in baking and canning for me! Love to watch you!❤️Regina
I chill and add cornstarch to all of my homemade cookies, makes them so much better.
