Shout out to Squarespace for sponsoring today's video. All right. Oh man,
the Ash. That is horrible. Okay, let's move over-- ow!
Eye crusties we're going to make it work.
Oh, look my little dry bun. Listen,
this could set the world on fire. That's how dry it is. Hey YouTube world, it's me Evelyn.
Welcome to my kitchen welcome to my kitchen anyways
nothing matters, right? So I'm just going to bake cookies.
That's what we're going to do in this video. You will need,
let me check...
two sticks of butter, some brown sugar. Okay.
I have the recipe calls for light skinned brown sugar. I have dark skinned
brown sugar. So, um, and um it turned out fine.
So let's get some melanated sugar, Caucasian sugar.
I might have just enough for this recipe two eggs because you're going to need
one whole egg. And then the egg yoke.
You need vanilla extract. (laughs)
vanilla extract. I'm losing it! Okay,
we got some all purpose flour and I think this is also flour.
One can hope.
Milk powder.
Now milk powder is dried, like, milk. Oh you want to see it?
You want to see it? Okay, come on. Yup.
That's what it looks like.
I don't know. You need a little kosher salt.
Baking powder,
and you need baking soda. Hold on.
I found some baking soda.
Chocolate chips.
This is what I had left - some Ghirardelli's you know what I'm saying?
I have maybe a fourth of the bag left and from last time I made these I actually
wished the chips were smaller. So I'll kind of chop these up -- you'll see.
Now that we have our ingredients,
we're going to combine them in a manner like such as according to the recipe,
which I will link in the video description box.
Go ahead follow Holly if you like...food
Set this to 375 okay.
Oh yes, yes, yes.
And then I'm going to try and set things up in such a way that doesn't frustrate
me while I film, while I try and make cookies and film it at the same time.
Okay. We're going to take four tablespoons of butter room temperature,
so it's like soft and pliable.
Just going to melt that until it's nice and melted because what we're doing is
we're browning the butter and that gives it a nice toasty flavor.
That's, that's, that's, that's what I had heard. Okay. So keep an eye on it.
You don't want it to burn. Just keep an eye on it. Ooh.
And I dunno if you can see that,
but it's starting to brown and you want to scrape that one straight,
those brown bits. Cause that's where the flavor's at. You feel me?
Okay. It's finna burn. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Okay.
Scrape all the brown scrape, scrape all the brown. Okay.
We kind of let this get away from us. We let this get away from,
I'll put you down and I'll put you, I'm gonna put you down
Then. Oh Jesus oh Lord,
we're still recording. Okay. Then you add the rest of the butter
to the melted butter. Look at that. Look at that. All that brown.
We took it off the heat.
So it's not currently on the heat. It's,
I'm just using the heat of the pot to melt down the rest of the butter.
So while I keep stirring this butter, what's up with y'all? Uh,
what's going on? Right now, uh,
I'm watching all the Harry Potter movies in order.
Um, no, I haven't read the books. No, I'm not going to right now. So you can,
you don't have to. You can save the typing space. Leave a comment if your
parents thought Harry Potter was the devil,
so that's why you were never allowed to read them. Banned! Butter's melted!
smooth butter. Look those little them brown chunks. That's the flavor.
The flavor all up in there.
(makes a beat) Ayyyeee! Anyway--
next we're going to add our sugars.
I literally had just enough of the white sugar. Okay,
we're going to put that in there. Oh my gosh.
This is just butter and sugar y'all.
Oh my God.
This is a great recipe if you're one of those people who, um,
likes chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips,
it creates a very flavorful base cookie.
It's what I think plain cookies should be instead of sugar cookies.
I think sugar cookies are disgusting. All right, that's looking kind of
not like the picture. Egg. Okay. We got one egg yolk,
vanilla extract
and just a smidgen. Smidgen more. Smells so good.
Look at that.
Sugar cookie where?!
We're stirring.
I have just lost all motivation in all things.
I did spill on here. Oh my God, didn't nobody - you didn't tell me.
I have no motivation to do anything and I'm actually surprised at how being
stuck in the house has affected me because I work from home normally.
But it's like the option has been taken away, it smells so good.
The cookie dough's looking good.
I wish you could smell this.
It smells so...freakin' good.
Okay, now we're going to add our chocolate chips.
We got the big chips and then we got some little little pieces.
We got our cookie dough that you can barely see.
Baking sheet with little silicone baking sheet liner thing.
Is this still dirty?
What? We got these big old cookies on the,
on the cookie sheet for a little bit of chaos. Put one in the corner.
So the cookies are in the oven
Let me get a little dip of this cookie dough.
Now, that's scrumdiddlyumptious!
So I've been feeling this overwhelming sense of like what's the point of
striving for anything like short of living, you know,
and being healthy. Anything else is just extra,
you know what I'm saying? And it's just like, why do anything more?
When do it becomes?
Shout out to all my freelancers.
I had a couple of gigs get canceled. Well you know what it is.
It's the uncertainty of not knowing who is going to make the decision.
And do we trust said person because to be like, "okay,
we can resume something" cause things gotta be resumed somewhere or don't they?
I don't know. And I had this moment of like, wow, what?
When am I gonna get to see my parents again?
Am I going to have to like celebrate my birthday inside?
I don't know if I will be okay.
I'm just going to let you know as a child of the equator,
I don't know if I'm going to be okay.
I thought I would be able to dodge "Productivity Instagram", you know,
or "Productivity YouTube". But I didn't, you know,
I got caught in the crosshairs.
It is what it is.
Did I have a breakdown about unpaid invoices? Yeah.
Did I only eat hot Cheetos on,
on one of the days? Yeah. Did I get a stomach ache? Yeah.
Have I brushed my teeth today?
Well! Next question.

It's not business as usual.
Even for me.
Just looking at my website, I was like,
what's the point of anything? Look at this girl striving for what?
I hope my therapist isn't watching. This is a cry for help.
I'm going to check on the cookies. Whoops. I made these entirely too big.
So this is the good batch. This is the ooey gooey batch.
For the thumbnail.
Don't focus on my face. Focus on the cookie. Impromptu smack your lip.
It's perfect. Mmm the edges are nice and crispy.
The center is nice and pliable, not doughy pliable. Okay.
Got some give to it.
It's not gonna Thanos dust into the atmosphere.
This recipe is technically for salted chocolate chip cookies.
I liked it the first time, but I want to pare down the salt just a little bit.
Um, and so instead of one and a half teaspoons,
I just did a half teaspoon of salt.
Oh, see.
It was ohhh. Fantastico!
I'm happier. I believe in emotional eating. The second batch was,
um, was a little gooier than I personally like.
And I think it's because they were way too big
and I had to put them on the bottom rack.
So the outside cooked very fast compared to the inside. But these edges
better than my edges. I tell you what, yes, I'm eating them off the floor.
All in all, a valiant effort, I think.
A noble endeavor in my opinion.
