hey everyone its James from fun foods and today we're gonna be making something
really fun we're gonna be making fortnight vbucks cookies now these are
amazing a lot of fun to make and very simple to do so keep watching and I'll
show you step by step how to make these now the first thing we need to do to
make this is start off by making our cookie part and to do that in a large
bowl I have 1 cup which is 2 sticks of butter that's softened at room
temperature for one and a half cups of sugar just regular plain white sugar and
we're gonna blend this up until that's well combined so after your sugar and
butter is all creamed together we're going to add one teaspoon of vanilla
extract and one large egg and mix this up and that's our wet ingredients we'll
just pull this aside and we'll work on our dry ingredients now in a separate
Bowl I have two and one fourths cup of flour and to that I want to add one
teaspoon of baking powder and then a dash of salt we want to whisk this up
now we're going to bring back our wet ingredients and we're going to add in
our dry ingredients to the wet
and it should be a really dry batter and but when you push it it should form
together like that with these dry batters I like to take some plastic wrap
and I'm going to divide it into two different parts so we'll have two
batches basically put this in the refrigerator for 15 or 20 minutes until
it firms up a bit at this point what we're gonna do is actually make our
little decoration that goes on top to make them look like VBucks cookies and to
do that I just printed up this little design I printed it to the size that my
cookies are and what I'm gonna do right here is I just have some wax paper that
I taped to a cookie sheet I'm gonna flip this underneath there and use this to
trace on and the only part that I'm actually gonna make here is I'm gonna
make the white V and then these parts would show up white on here are gonna be
blue that's all we're gonna do at this stage so I have some blue candy melts
right here and I already melted it down I'm just going to cut a nice sized hole
and we're just gonna make like a blue glob like this just tracing it and we'll
move that as we go but I just want to do the white V right now
and you can take the back of a toothpick and just kind of smear it just to smooth
it out a little bit keep doing that over and over again until you get the number
of cookies that you made okay our dough has been in a refrigerator for about 20
minutes we're going to pull it out and before we unwrap it I'm just going to
put some flour on the surface here
unwrap it out now we're just going to roll this out until it's about 1/4 of an
inch in thickness okay so I'm going to use this cookie cutter it's a round
cookie cutter it's just about the size I need hopefully it doesn't expand too
much and we're gonna cut out our cookies
just lay them on a baking sheet that's lined
and the excess dough can be balled up and rolled back out and keep cutting
okay now put this in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake it for about
10 to 12 minutes okay so when your cookies come out of the oven you want to
let them cool down completely before we move on to the next step
so in a medium bowl I have one-and-a-half cups of powdered sugar or
confectioners sugar or however you want to call it and to that I'm going to add
about a teaspoon of vanilla extract and about two tablespoons of milk
you just want to mix this up and the hard part here is trying to find the
right consistency you want it to run a little bit and this is just a little too
dry so I have to add some melt but be very careful because if you add too much
it'll make it too runny so just a very little bit at a time it's still a little
too dry but before I add any more milk I want to add some black food coloring not
much because we're going to turn this gray so we just need just one little
drop to begin with and see how that does
and the consistency we want is something similar to this where it kind of just
runs just like so because we're going to be flooding these cookies now that our
cookies have cooled down completely and we've made our gray icing I'm just gonna
cut a very small hole here in this piping bag I've already put it in there
I'm gonna cut a very small hole and we're gonna pipe these cookies just go
around we're gonna go around the edge first
it's probably a bit too small a little bigger of a cut just take a toothpick
and kind of work it in now what I'm going to do is come back to our little
V's and our little blue lines that we made earlier and we're gonna actually
put them on the cookies so I'm gonna use something like this just to scoop it up
from it so it makes it easier take one of those one of these
so we'll take our V first and just put that right in the middle take the blue
line there we go and there is one of your V Box cookies
just do the rest of them and you'll have a good old time now its time for the taste test
I'm going to dig into one of these fortnight VBucks cookies let's see
