Hey guys, it's Ro!
Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
I got so many requests from you guys
to make something Power Rangers themed,
and I'm super excited because
we have never made something Power Rangers themed before
on Nerdy Nummies, so we're gonna change that today!
It's perfect timing, because the new
Power Rangers movie is coming out.
I just- I can't tell you how excited I am!
I grew up WATCHING Power Rangers.
My favorite was the Pink Ranger.
"Pterodactyl!"
Let me know, in the comments below,
if you have a favorite Power Ranger,
and let's get to baking!
We are gonna be making some Power Ranger Themed Cookies!
Let's Get Started!
The recipe that we're making today
is a Vanilla Almond Sugar Cookie
from the Nerdy Nummies Cookbook.
I love this recipe for so many reasons,
but one is because they really hold their shape while they bake.
The Things You'll Need will be
3 Cups of All-Purpose Flour;
1 and a Half Cups, plus 1 Tablespoon of Sugar;
3/4ths Cup of Almond Meal;
2 Sticks of Butter; 2 Eggs;
1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder;
Half a Teaspoon of Salt;
Half a Teaspoon of Almond Extract;
1 and a Half Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract;
and Half a Teaspoon of Ground Nutmeg.
Now, Let's Put It ALL Together!
First thing that we're gonna do is in a Medium Size Bowl,
we're gonna whisk together our dry ingredients.
Our Flour, Almond Meal, Baking Powder, Salt, and Nutmeg.
Mix it together 'til it's well combined
and then set it off to the side.
Next, we are gonna cream together
our Butter and Sugar in a big Mixing Bowl.
I'm gonna mix it together with my Hand Mixer
until it's light and fluffy.
Now we're gonna be adding our Eggs and Extracts.
We're gonna be adding our Eggs first.
I'm gonna add them one at a time.
Crack the Egg, mix it up, scrape down the sides,
and then add our second Egg, and our Extracts,
and mix it up, scrape down the sides.
Now we are gonna pour all of our Dry Ingredients
into our Butter Mixture.
Woop! Mix them together on a low speed
until they're well combined.
Cookie Dough is ready, but now we've gotta let it chill.
I'm gonna cut it in half with my Spatula,
then take a piece of Food Wrap,
and we're gonna wrap both of our halves up tight,
and then pop these both in the Fridge to chill for 1 Hour.
Our Cookie Dough has chilled,
and now we are gonna roll it out.
*FWOOSH* *thunk*
*dee's Power Ranger Theme*
Perfect!
I'm just gonna take a pinch of Flour,
sprinkle it over my countertop,
and roll it out, about a Quarter Inch Thick.
Boooom! Got our dough rolled out,
and now, using our Circle Cookie Cutter,
I'm gonna cut out a bunch of cookies,
and then transfer them onto this Baking Sheet
I've got lined with a piece of Parchment Paper,
so it won't stick.
Cookies are ready to bake!
We're gonna heat our oven to 350°F
and bake these for about 12 to 13 Minutes.
Once your cookies have baked
and had plenty of time to cool,
Now it's Time To Decorate! This is my favorite part!
I love decorating. To decorate, I've got Royal Icing
in a bunch of different colors.
I've put all of them into Plastic Baggies with Tips at the end,
for a little bit more control.
We're gonna start by Outlining each of our Sugar Cookies,
all the way around, in each different color.
Remember, there are different colored Power Rangers out there,
but these ones were my favorite!
We've done our outlines, and let them sit for just a few minutes.
This will act like a fence, like a barrier,
to hold the rest of our Royal Icing in the middle.
Now I'm gonna flood our cookie,
and flooding just means filling it in.
And use a Toothpick to press the icing around
to get a really smooth texture.
Once again, we're gonna do Pink, Red, Black, Green, Blue and Yellow.
Now I'm gonna set these off to the side
to allow them to set, and while they are setting,
we're gonna roll out some Fondant for some last final details!
We've got a lot of different things going on over here.
We've got Marshmallow Fondant that's White, Black, and Yellow.
Start with our Yellow Fondant,
and I'm just gonna pinch off a little bit.
Pinch, pinch, pinch, pinch!
Using the end of a Tip, this is a #12,
I'm just gonna press down into the Fondant.
Just pop it out. Then, taking some tweezers, or you can take your fingers,
you can pinch, pinch, pinch!
I'm gonna pinch 2 sides of the Circle, making it an Oval.
Then you're gonna make a bunch more of these.
Every cookie gets one of them, so however many you wanna make!
Now we are gonna roll out our Black Fondant.
*dee's a tune*
I'm using a mini-football-shaped Cookie Cutter.
Cut out a bunch of these, and then using a sharp Cutting Knife,
I'm just gonna cut off the ends.
And, again, every cookie will need one of these,
so cut out as many as you're making!
This next part is totally optional.
You can leave these Yellow, but I'm gonna be painting them Bronze,
because that's what they look like on the belt.
I'm gonna be using a little bit of Metallic Fruit Paint.
For the suit design, and belt strap,
which hold the Morphers on the front, that we just made,
we're gonna roll out our White Fondant,
and cut out some shapes.
I have this very small, square-shape Cookie Cutter.
Each cookie will need 3 Squares.
Then I'm gonna cut out the belts.
I'm using a Fondant Tool that kinda looks like a mini-Pizza Cutter.
It's like wee wee wee wee...!
Let's make some Belts!
You can't fight monsters without a good suit on.
No one's done it, can't-
Never happened.
I'm taking a little bit of Black Royal Icing,
put it on top of our little Black Fondant cutout.
Then, place our Bronze Oval over the top of it.
All of our decoration pieces are ready!
And now it's Time To Assemble!
"It's Morphin' Time!"
"Mastodon! Pterodactyl!"
"Saber-Toothed Tiger! Triceratops!"
"Bronclsaurus..."
So we're gonna do this by placing 3 of our Squares
on to the cookie, then you're gonna take your little belt,
place it on the bottom-
My fridge just farted. Rude.
Once all the White Fondant is placed on the top of the cookie,
you're gonna take your Circle Cookie Cutter,
and gently place it over the top. Cut through the Fondant,
then remove the excess Fondant.
For the final decoration step, attach our Morpher to the Belt.
Then we're gonna do this to the rest of our cookies.
~Ta-Daaaa!~
Here are the Power Ranger Cookies that we made today!
A big thank you to you guys for suggesting this idea.
I am super excited for the new Power Ranger Movie!
I really like this idea for cookies because if any of your friends
have a favorite Power Ranger, they can pick their favorite cookie!
This one is MY favorite, because I like the Pink Ranger!
But let's be honest, if I was a Power Ranger,
I don't know what color- um-
And I'd probably- I'd probably Morph, and I'd be a Squirrel.
I'm gonna be posting a lot of pictures, and the recipe on RosannaPansino.com,
Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, so you can check 'em out there,
and if you guys make these cookies, please take a picture and send it to me.
I love seeing your Baking Creations!
It just makes me happy! I get a kick out of it, makes my day.
And! If you have any other ideas, for any other Nerdy Nummies,
please let me know, leave me a comment down below,
and I will do my best to make it happen.
Thanks again, you guys! Buh bye!
It's Cookie Eating Time! Om-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom!
