Hey guys, it’s Ro, welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Today we are gonna be making something that has been heavily requested
forever, and I’m finally making it! we are gonna be making video game
controller cookies! We’re gonna make 1 from Xbox, Playstation and the Wii.
The things you will need, will be: Flour, just regular flour, sugar, just
regular white sugar, vanilla extract, a little bit of salt, baking soda,
a little bit of cinnamon, greek yogurt, 1 cup of butter, 1 egg, a big mixing
bowl, a beater, or you can use a whisk, whatever you'd like, and last but
not least, our 3 cookie cutter controllers.
I found these at Warp Zone Prints, it was a really cute store on Etsy and
they have a website, and I’ll put a link down below so you can go check it out if you want to.
They have these controller cookie cutters and they also have
a ton of other geeky cool stuff, so, check ‘em out, they’re pretty cool!
Also, when I ordered these cookie cutters, they came with this really cool
sugar recipe, they call it the best sugar cookie recipe ever!
It’s capitalized! And I made it, I tried it, it was really, really good.
So I’m gonna make it today, I thought that would be really cool, so we’re
gonna be using greek yogurt in this cookie recipe.
Mmmmmm! Alright, so let’s get started!
First thing you’re gonna do is take your big mixing bowl, and we’re gonna
cream together the butter and sugar, so take 2 sticks of butter,
which together make 1 cup. Just make sure they’re room temperature, let them
sit out for a little bit so they get nice and soft.
Yeah!
Then you’re gonna take 1-1/2 cups of sugar.
Pew!
And now we’re just gonna mix it together until it’s really creamy.
Fluffy kinda!
Oh!
Now you’re gonna add your egg, the whole egg, pew!
Easy-peasy!
Oh, just where do you put it afterwards, that’s not too easy.
Oh just hand it to your magical hand!
Then you’re gonna take 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, oh it smells so good!
Then you’re gonna tae 1/2 a cup of greek yogurt, and remember, don’t use
a low fat yogurt, use the regular greek yogurt.
I feel like with my shirt I should be making zelda noises, hyah!
Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!
It worked!
Alright, now we’re gonna mix again, till everything’s smooth!
Check that out, it smells delicious!
Now we’re gonna add our dry ingredients, this is flour and it’s 3-3/4 cup of
flour, I already measured it, to save a little bit of time.
So you’re just gonna shake it in. Oh yeah!
Then you’re gonna add 1/2 a teaspoon of salt, oh, dee-doo-doo!
And, 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon. no cinnamon challenges this time!
I’m done with that, no more!
And last but not least, add 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda!
Not to be confused with baking powder, they’re both white, but,
they do different science baking things.
Now that we got all of our dry ingredients we’re just gonna mix 1 more time
until it turns dough-y.
Wooo!
Once your dough is ready, we’re just gonna take a piece of saran wrap.
Uh, I have a bad memory, I like looked at it, like what kind of wrap is this.
Alright, now I’m just gonna lay it down on the table, and just take a handful
of the dough, oh that feel, that’s perfect, that’s great.
OK, now I’m gonna put it in the fridge for about an hour to let it chill.
Then we can cut out our cookies.
I just took the dough out of the fridge, now we’re just gonna unwrap it.
Oh yeah, that’s a lot harder, that’s perfect!
Take a little bit of flour, sprinkle it down, roll it around.
Then you’re just gonna roll it out flat.
I just love how smooth this dough recipe is.
Once you get it rolled out you’re just gonna take your cookie cutters,
push them down, straight down, make sure all the edges, and because they have
these little details I like to just put a little extra pressure,
but not too hard, so you don’t break the cookie cutter.
Pop, oh my gosh just look how cool that looks!
Just gonna scoop him up a little bit.
Here we go. I really love this recipe, they keep such a good shape.
Da-da!
Once you got your cookies on the pan, I just did 3 for now, I’m gonna
do more later, but you’re just gonna preheat your oven to 350 and bake
for about 5-6 minutes, just keep your eye on it, as soon as they start
turning golden brown, they are done!
Once your cookies are done baking, make sure they’ve had plenty of time to
cool, I let these sit for about 1/2 hour, so let’s check ‘em out!
As you can see, they’re so cute! They have all the little indent lines
and if you just want to stop here for the day, you can just leave them
as is and you’re done. But I’ve decided I want to frost ‘em.
I’m just gonna use the 3 basic colors to make the controllers, but they come in
all different colors, like pink, green, red, so you can make them
whatever color you want. Gonna outline it, and then fill in the middle.
Now I’m gonna frost the last 2 controllers, I’m gonna do black for my
playstation and a light gray for my Xbox.
I’ve got all 3 of my cookies frosted the different colors, and I let them set
for about 10 minutes so that they’d harden a little bit, and now I’m gonna
take the frosting and draw on top of them to make the details like the
little buttons!
I just finished putting on little details, little buttons on all the cookies, and now I’m
letting those set. And I thought, I could use frosting for the little
controller knobs, but it would be cuter to use gumdrops!
These are black licorice gumdrops. What you’re gonna do is take baking
scissors, and I’m cutting off the end. Cutting them in 1/2.
And I eat, eat the top 1!
And then the bottom, look at that! Looks just like a controller!
And I thought it would be really cute to sugar coat them, so I’m dipping
them in this little ramekin, it has a little bit of water,
Just a little quick, beep!
So that the gummy gets a little sticky, and then I just have regular,
regular sugar right here in the middle of my plate. Just gonna move it
around, and then you’re just gonna stick it right there, boom!
Oh look how cute that is! Little controller!
OK, now that I’m done putting on all the little gumdrops,
I’m gonna take these candies, I can’t remember which candy store I got
these at, or if they were at the grocery store, but they’re just little
hard candies. And you’re just gonna take red, yellow, green and blue,
for the Xbox, little controller buttons.
Starting with, let’s do the Y button.
Put him up here at the top. Bewp!
Oh that’s so cute!
Look at that, yum, yum, yum!
Now for the final little details,
I’m just gonna use these extra little frosting
colors for like the Playstation and Wii, and just take a really small tip,
a number 1 tip, and just draw on the little details.
Ta-da! Our video game controller cookies are all done!
They’re so awesome! We’ve got Playstation, Xbox and Wii!
Thanks you guys for suggesting this, I’ve been meaning to do this for such
a long time, and we finally made it happen!
