(Barry sniffs)
- Never thought a cookie recipe could get me emotional.
(musical blast)
(popping)
- Hello! - Hello, everybody!
- Hello! - And welcome to our kitchen.
It's Chloe and Barry, the Internet father, dad, here.
- Whatever!
- Today we're doing a very special video.
The other day I was editing the 4, 3, 2, 1 video,
which was the second to last video I put up,
if you haven't seen it already.
And Chloe walks in with some cookies.
"Daddy, I baked these cookies",
and I'm, "Yeah, all right, try that."
And no joke (heavenly music)
it was the best ever,
ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
tasting cookie I have ever,
ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever had.
And I've had a lot of cookies in my time, Chloe,
let me tell you.
It was chewy, it was soft.
It was gooey, it was tender.
I ate it, and it slid down my body
and I just wanted it to go, not back up,
but I just wanted to maintain that experience
for my living soul for the rest of my life.
It was that good.
Now there is that old age tale
that if you try and repeat a recipe the same,
exactly the same steps,
typically, it's like an old wives' tale,
do you know what an old wife is?
Don't say that. (Barry laughs)
It never ever tastes the same.
So I had an idea, right? - Yeah.
- This is our Tenacious D Tribute
to your chocolate chip cookies.
It's an amazing song, it's the greatest song in the world.
♪ All right. ♪
- Is it being acted out?
- It's a music video.
- That's not actually Jack Black's brother, is it?
- The point is (hands clap)
this recipe might not be exactly the same,
I really want it to be, but it's a tribute
to the greatest chocolate chip in the world,
♪ All right ♪
(hand slaps)
- What if it doesn't be the same taste?
- Then we do it again,
and again until you get it right.
Understand?
- Yes. (Barry laughs)
- No, we will do our best to nail it, okay.
Just do your best.
The only thing to say is that it does contain peanut butter.
So if someone has a nut allergy,
what could they replace it with?
- Nutella, oh wait, that's already got nuts in it.
- Okay, good.
- Put no peanut butter in it.
- Yeah, I guess you could.
Let's get going, Chloe. - Yum!
♪ The greatest song in the world, it's a tribute ♪
- [Barry] Right, get your ingredients then,
big old bowl I reckon you're gonna need.
- Going to weigh all of our ingredients off-camera.
- Yeah. - But first of all you need
(packet rustles)
110 grammes of light brown sugar.
- Okay, great.
Yeah, we'll do all other weighing off camera,
but this is a combination,
the light brown sugar with the classic granulated,
which is typically really popular in cooking.
It gives you that nice flavour as well, and the colour too.
Like a big pile of sand, mate.
I'm not sure what gave it that chewy gooey-ness,
I'm thinking, because this is a
fairly classic cookie recipe,
but with the peanut butter in there as well,
that just made it gooey, or you just undercooked it.
You might have under baked it, mate.
(Chloe sighs)
- You think about what you say, young lad.
So your ingredients, you should have
a bag of chocolate chips, (packet rustles)
some vanilla extract,
butter, softened, an egg,
peanut butter, salt, bicarbonate of soda,
light brown sugar, normal sugar, and flour.
And make sure that we don't over mix the flour.
- [Barry] Is that the trick, is it?
- Yes, you can't over mix it,
because then it won't be too good, I guess.
- To give us the best chance
I wanna replicate this perfectly.
- Okay.
- What mixing bowl did you use?
- We used the grey one.
- Grey one, we don't have a grey one.
Ah, you mean this thing?
(Barry sighs)
- [Chloe] Plop! (butter plops)
- Nice, look at that, plop.
Is that all of it?
I want every ounce in there, mate.
(bowl clatters) (Barry laughs)
I've never been so worried about
trying to make something work.
But then again, if you didn't do this anyway,
you probably just chucked in, didn't you?
- Light brown sugar, and normal sugar.
(bell rings)
- Nice.
(mixer clatters) (heavenly music)
Now that's mixed, good work.
Just found some peanut butter for dogs,
that the dogs do absolutely love.
You didn't use this, did you?
- I don't think so.
- It's just the tub's nearly gone.
- Now we can finally put everything else in.
- [Barry] Okay.
- I'm gonna first crack the egg.
(egg thuds)
I think I've got no shell in.
- [Barry] Well, did you get shell in it before?
That might have been that hidden crunch.
- No!
Bicarbonate of soda. - [Barry] Nice.
- Vanilla extract.
- [Barry] Just a drop.
Yeah, that'll do.
- That's more a spill.
- [Barry] Okay (laughs).
Shall I put that on recipe, one spill?
(Chloe laughs)
- [Chloe] Salt. - [Barry] Salt, nice.
- If you want, you can do salt bay, unnecessarily.
- [Barry] Amazing, I don't know where you got that from.
That's brilliant, thanks.
- You do your peanut butter.
- [Barry] And this is just crunchy, yeah?
- [Chloe] Yes.
- [Barry] But you could use smooth.
(spoon clanks)
But I like, there was the nut element in there,
I liked it mate, it was cheeky.
Right, mix it in then.
- No, because we need to preheat the oven to 170 fan.
- [Barry] What now?
- Now!
Now!
(oven bleeps) (fan hums)
- [Barry] Look around, Chloe, wave.
I can see you (laughs).
170 fan, all right.
So now can we whisk it in?
- Yes, but we've gotta do it on low
in case the egg goes like phew!
- [Barry] Eggs-plosions.
- No, this is not a time for dad jokes.
(mixer whirring) (upbeat music)
- Let me show what that looks like, mate.
That looks amazing.
- Oh, yummy! - Wow!
- Okay, now what we do is we just add in the flour.
- That's plain flour, yeah, so not self-raising
or anything, no crazy stuff?
- It's got no "raisings" in it.
- No raisings.
- Da-da-da-da-da!
- Dad joke club. - It's a joke.
Make sure it's on a low setting.
(whisk whirring) (upbeat music)
- [Barry] Are you sure this is the same as before?
They look almost like oatmeal cookies.
- Yeah, I'm sure.
- [Barry] You sure?
- I'm testing if this is real chocolate chip.
- [Barry] Mate, I'm pretty certain they are chocolate chips.
- We don't need our whisker now.
- [Barry] You're basically politely telling me
to put that away?
- Yes, shoo it away.
Shoo it out of my sight.
(Barry laughs)
- [Barry] Shoo!
- Shoo!
(chips clattering)
- We didn't use a very oily peanut butter,
because the other ones that we've used before
have been cheap when we've used peanut butter
on different things.
And the one we use is quite a well-known brand.
So I guess there is the oil in there,
but if it is too oily you could probably add more flour
or something.
What are you doing?
- Um!
- Okay.
(oven bleeps)
Mate? - Yeah?
- [Barry] The oven's preheated.
- Yeah.
And what do we do now?
- [Barry] Well, you tell me.
- Yeah, we put them in the oven.
- [Barry] You've gotta stop eating that mix, mate.
- [Chloe] But it's so yummy.
- Okay, I get the ice-cream scoop.
- Yes.
- That's how you portion it out,
why have you got a glass, I've never seen that before?
- Well, I'll tell you in a minute.
Just dump it on the tray.
- Not rolling it with your hands or anything?
- No.
I'm having that one.
- [Barry] Chloe, that's not a cookie,
that's a bag of chocolate chips.
We've got 12 cookies, all right.
And what's the glass then,
what's going on here?
- Okay, so what we do now
is we get it and we just do a little thing like that.
- [Barry] Right, okay.
- [Chloe] Just a little bit like that.
- [Barry] So it's still quite fat.
- [Chloe] Like that, like a little bit.
- [Barry] And what does that do?
- It just makes it into the shape.
You don't push it down or anything.
- [Barry] Nice!
- [Chloe] It's quite a good technique.
- [Barry] It is.
Chloe just asked me off camera
if she can have her own section on the channel
where she just does cookies.
- Yeah.
- [Barry] Just be like Chloe's cookies.
- Now we're going to put them into the oven
for exactly 10 minutes.
- [Barry] Exactly 10? - Yeah.
- [Barry] Is that what you did,
did you put a timer on and everything?
- Well I'm going to put the timer on.
(Barry laughs)
(oven clicks)
- 10 minutes exactly?
- [Chloe] Yes.
- This feels really weird, hi!
Stop it.
(Barry laughs)
Just the whole point of you holding the camera then
was so that you could do the timer,
and I could put them in the oven.
And I ended up doing both.
- I just wanted the camera.
- And now you're eating chocolate chips.
- That's the best part.
- Have a look at them, they are looking amazing.
The height, it's nice big old fat
like a coaster of cookie.
So I'm going to take them out in 10 minutes.
I think I've lost her for a couple of minutes.
(tray clattering)
Oh, my gosh!
Ay-yay-yay-yay!
They're done, they're lightly brown, mate.
Can you have a little look, see what you think?
- Heavens!
- We put the other tray in on the lower shelf,
so we're gonna have to give that an extra minute or two.
- I'm having that one.
- Yeah, there is one that's absolutely laced,
but they look great, they've held their shape.
A little of crackage,
and a teeny bit of light browning on it.
I can't remember the colour massively,
but they look...
- Amazing.
- They look amazing, they look how they were before.
(Barry sighs)
(hands slap)
Thank you.
(knife clatters)
My gosh, Chloe, they look outstanding.
- [Chloe] Thank you.
- [Barry] I really want that one though.
- [Chloe] Oi, keep your eyes off that, that's mine.
- [Barry] See, here's the thing, folks,
as we sort of pan across them.
I mean, this one's heavily chocolate chipped,
they're crinkled, lightly browned,
but they look so innocent, so randomised, so simple.
But that's how it was when it was presented to me before,
and I can't wait to taste these.
So now they've cooled down fully,
let's give 'em a try,
and, yeah, Chloe, certainly has her eye on this one.
It's amazing how they're just dolloped on there,
squished with a glass,
but they're still super symmetrical as well.
Love it!
They look so good.
And they're still slightly warmed.
- Can we just eat it now?
- We can, have you got that chocolate-laced one?
- Yes, it's just literally full of chocolate.
(Barry laughs)
- It is.
The smell of freshly baked cookie,
no matter how you make them generally,
as long as you don't burn them, is fantastic.
(Chloe sighs)
And there is that, there is a slight peanuty smell to it.
- Yeah, you can smell it, wait.
(Chloe sniffs)
Peanut butter, cookies.
- But I didn't really get the taste of it
when I had them before.
So...
- Let's try it!
- Let's try it.
Oh my gosh!
(heavenly music)
(Chloe moans)
- Oh my Gosh!
They're amazing!
(Barry sniffs)
- Never thought a cookie recipe
could get me emotional.
They are...
- Stonking!
- Stonking.
♪ The greatest cookie in the world, all right ♪
- Bliming stonking!
- I just think, there's something about this.
A nice break, the camera won't really pick it up,
but a chewiness to it.
Not a raw, but a just part-baked vibe
with a nuttiness, a chocolate ooze,
a comforting ugh!
- How's that? - That is outstanding.
It is genuinely...
Everyone has their own perfect version
of what a cookie should be,
and of course the peanut
will throw up some issues for some people.
But unbelievable, and that was so simple to make.
Even a 60-year-old could do it.
- I'm not 60.
If you're not gonna eat that cookie, I'm gonna eat it.
- No, I'll eat it.
(Barry laughs)
Apparently there are some nut-free
peanut butter alternatives.
So that's one thing that someone could put in there.
But, Chloe, I think now
it is your turn to challenge people to make these.
- You make these, (hands slap)
or I will come into your house at night
and I will haunt your dreams.
- Right, okay, that's fine, haunting the dreams,
I wasn't sure where you were going with that.
(Barry laughs)
- If you make them or if you don't make them, that's fine.
- If you don't make them, that's fine,
but I will come into your house and haunt your dreams.
- No, but just know that they're amazing.
Just keep that in your head, okay.
- Brilliant.
