Ro: episode 13 came out, I got so many requests from you guys to make something
Ro: Carol’s Cookies! And AMC released the official Carol’s Cookies recipe.
Ro: So today, we are gonna be making it and trying it out for you guys! Alright ready?
Both: Let’s get started!
Ro: B-b-b-b-but before we get started… Max: Mmmhmm. Ro: I’m kind of dressed like Carol,
Max: Yeah. Ro: I got my sweater, you know, on. So I got an outfit for you.
Max: You got an outfit for me? Ro: Yeah, you’re gonna be Rick! Max: Oh!
Ro: You’re gonna like this. Max: Here we go! Ro: It’s good, it’s good, it’s good!
Ro: OK, OK, OK. Max: Oh yes, oh yes! Ro: Check this out, put this guy on.
Max: Super on my head! Fit’s like a charm. Ro: Adjust that, and, and I have a shirt, I have a shirt.
Ro: Let me find it! Max: Oh there’s a shirt, there’s a shirt too!
Max: I was really hoping. Ro: Here you are Mr… Mr. Rick Grimes.
Max: I didn’t know if I should come in costume… Ah, yes! Ro: There we go!
Ro: Mr. Grimes over here, Carol and Rick. Hanging out! Max: Oh you know it!
Ro: Baking it! Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. Max: Oh yeah!
Ro: Rick and Carol, ready to bake. Max: Howdy, howdy.
Ro: the things you’ll need, will be: 1 cup of regular flour, 1/4 cup of apple sauce,
Ro: 1/4 cup of regular granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup shortening,
Ro: 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, that is so small I didn’t
Ro: have that measurement, so just put in a pinch of salt.
Ro: 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder.
Max: You’ll also need, 1 delicious chocolate bar, it doesn’t matter which kind, but
Max: use the good stuff, 1 mixing bowl, 1 hand mixer, and 1 cookie sheet.
Ro: Boom! Now let’s put it all together! Max: Wooo!
Ro: The first thing that we’re gonna do is we’re gonna mix together in a big mixing bowl,
Ro: our brown sugar, light sugar, applesauce and shortening. Max: Mmmhmmm.
Ro: And I’m gonna have you mix. Max: Oh I’m gonna mix, OK let’s mix!
Ro: You’re gonna be in charge of this guy, he’s pretty fun! Max: Oh-hoo-hoo!
Ro: OK, so first I’m gonna add my sugars, there we go! Then our applesauce. Max: Mmmhmmm.
Ro: Our shortening! Max: Mmm!
Ro: And, this recipe is super simple, it uses all simple ingredients because it was
Ro: a recipe that you could make in the apocalypse.
Max: Yeah, you know, so, heaven forbid… Ro: Yeah. Max: We’re ready to go!
Ro: Alright, mix it up! Max: Woo-hoo-hoo!
Ro: Alright, next we are gonna add our flour. Max: Mmmm!
Ro: Here, I’ll have you dump him in there. Max: Oh, I, oh the honor.
Ro: Little bit of vanilla extract. Max: Mmmhmm.
Ro: A pinch of salt. I’m gonna have you do a pinch because I have really small fingers, so…
Max: Bam! Ro: That pry an accurate pinch. Max: Spice it up a little!
Ro: And then, baking soda and baking powder. We’ll each add 1 ready?
Both: 1, 2, 3! Ro: Boom! Max: Yes!
Ro: Grab that mixer Max let’s get it going! Max: Oh I’m ready to go! Woo! Ro: Get it goin!
Max: So now we have finished our mix, we’re gonna let it sit for 5 minutes. Ro: Mmmhmm!
Max: And then, we’re gonna heat up our chocolate in the meanwhile.
Ro: Yeah, yum-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum! Max: Gonna be all delicious! Num-num-num-num-num!
Ro: My favorite part!
Ro: Now that we’ve set our mixture to the side, we’re gonna melt our chocolate and
Ro: remember, this is an apocalypse rationed recipe, so I want to use the whole
Ro: bar, but the recipe calls for only 1/4 of it. We can only use a quarter of this
Ro: bar, oh this is killing me! Max: Mmmhmmm.
Ro: So Max, can you open that up? Max: Let’s do it baby! Woo! Oh yeah!
Ro: This is so sad! This is not a lot of chocolate.
Ro: Look at this! OK, so on a Hershey bar, definitely, do you want to break off 3?
Max: Yeah, just break off these 3?
Ro: 3 little bars will be a fourth. Max: Boom! Ro: Alright, we’re gonna put it in a
Ro: bowl and melt it. And let me just check, is this OK? Max: Oh, oh yeah, is this OK?
Max: Or, you know. Ro: We should probably…
Max: I know it's apocalypse, but, we should probably just check and make sure it’s good.
Ro: We should probably just check and make sure it’s OK!
Ro: Mmmhmm, mmmhmm. Max: Yeah, that’s good!
Ro: It’s like a ration recipe, you don’t want to. Max: That’s good.
Ro: Now you’re gonna go heat up the chocolate. Max: Yeah.
Ro: I’m gonna use the microwave for a few seconds, but you can use a double boiler,
Ro: or if you were in a zombie apocalypse, you’d probably use a fire.
Max: Just melted the chocolate and now we’re gonna add it into the recipe, let’s go!
Ro: Look how little amount that chocolate is, it’s just kind of making me sad.
Max: It’s kind of sad. Ro: It’s so rationed, not enough chocolate!
Max: Yeah, makes you appreciate the chocolate we have!
Ro: Now we’re gonna mix 1 more time, and then we are gonna pop this in the refrigerator,
Ro: for about 5 minutes, because it will be a little bit easier to work with.
Ro: But, if you’re in the apocalypse, uh, just, you’ll have to work with it sticky.
Max: Yeah, camping, you don’t have a mini fridge, we understand. Ro: No, yeah.
Max: Should we do this? Ro: Yeah, let’s mix it up! Max: WOOOOO!!
Ro: Mix it up, mix, mix it up!
Max: Alright, our dough’s done chilling, what do we do next?
Ro: Next we are gonna roll our little dough balls, and I’ve got a tablespoon as a
Ro: reference, but it says in the recipe you want to do a heavy helping. Max: Mmmm.
Ro: Tablespoon, and it should be about the size of a golf ball.
Ro: So I actually dug, out of our garage, a golf ball. Max: Awesome.
Ro: So they’ve got to be about this size. Good reference, I’m gonna keep him right here.
Max: Fantastic, don’t eat it. Ro: Alright, so, I’ll show you how to do this. Max: Yes!
Ro: That’s good, and then I give that to you.
Max: That’s good, and then I take it, and make it into a little ball?
Ro: Yeah, take it out of there, OK, and then roll it. Max: OK, awesome.
Ro: And I’ll roll this 1, just roll, roll, roll, roll, roll!
Max: Awesome, wash your hands, of course. Ro: Yeah, yeah!
Max: Gotta make sure that stuff’s good. Ro: And then, boom!
Ro: Now you’re gonna do this and fill the rest of your sheet. They need about 2 inches
Ro: in between each cookie.
Ro: Now these cookies are ready to bake, you’re gonna preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Ro: and bake between 11 to 13 minutes. And while these are baking, I was wondering,
Ro: do you want to play, it’s 1 of my favorite retro zombie games,
Ro: it’s House of the Dead 3? Max: I’m in, let’s do it baby! Woo-woo!
Ro: Oh my gosh! I love this game!
Ro: Oh my gosh, am I the girl? Please, please, please!
Max: New sheriff in town.
Ro: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no!
Ro: Uh oh! Max: Oh oh, we got a boss here! Ro: Uh oh, he looks like a police officer!
Ro: Police officer vs. Sheriff! Max: Oh I’ll get him! It’s, it’s on!
Ro: His weak point is his head. Max: OK. Ro: OK, so just go for the head, go for the head!
Ro: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Oh! No, no, no, no, no!
Ro: We got him! We got him!
Max: Yes! Yaaas! Yaaaas! Ro: Boss down!
Both: Woo!
Both: Ta-da!
Ro: Here are The Walking Dead Carol’s Cookies that we made today! I think we should
Ro: test them, we’ve definitely earned it, because we worked up a sweat.
Max: Fwew! Ro: Fighting off those zombies!
Ro: Alright, are you ready? Max: Let’s do it! I’m ready!
Ro: OK, I’m gonna. Max: OK, break it in half? Ro: These are nice and warm!
Ro: Ready? Max: Ah, 1, 2, 3!
Ro: Mmm! Max: Mmm!
Ro: For an apocalypse cookie, it’s simple. Max: Mmmhmm.
Ro: But good. Max: Yeah. Ro: And remember, this recipe has no eggs in it, because
Ro: Carol, didn’t have eggs in the apocalypse, so she uses the applesauce instead.
Max: There you go. Ro: I’ve never had a cookie without eggs and applesauce.
Max: Mmmhmm. Ro: This is a first. Max: It’s nice though.
Ro: I give it a thumbs up! Especially for the apocalypse. Max: Mmmhmmm.
Ro: These were so much fun to make! Thanks you guys for suggesting these, and,
Ro: a big thank you to Max for helping me bake today!
