I Tested The Most Viral Holiday Cookies- Taylor Swift Chai, Stuffed Chocolate Caramel, Lemon Curd,

[@jaimiejust7365]

A little tip for crinkle cookies-if you roll them in granulated sugar before the powder sugar, it will keep that powder sugar from melting into the cookies. It’ll give you perfect crinkles every time!

[@MakingThisUpAsIGo]

You might want to check your oven to make sure the temperature is accurate to what you are setting it to it could explain some of the trouble you were having with you cookies baking up.

[@smome777]

This is such a great tip!! I hope he sees this. I often have this issue with my oven and always have to adjust.

[@necrojoe]

This. I was having similar issues with my oven when my igniter was on its way out. My oven wasn't getting quite hot enough. Cookies cooked flat because the oven wasn't hot enough to get a "skin" to hold their shape, and cookies and bread ended up pale. It could explain all of his issues this episode.

[@emilyjoroudenbush5488]

absolutely I have a thermometer in my oven and regularly have to set 15-20 degrees above to get a correct temp

[@kimchiteagames]

The chocolate chip cookies seem like they'd work better with a chewy caramel candy rather than a sauce.

[@georgiamai9107]

Yeah we agree.

[@rebel1612]

Or freezing the Carmel before putting it in the cookie

[@SulxaanFalmataa]

​@@rebel1612❤😊=❤a

[@lss8713]

I had another recipe for a double chocolate caramel cookie that uses Rolos in the center. That might be a better idea to contain both the chocolate and the caramel!

[@englishatheart]

@@rebel1612 caramel*

[@marvelboy74]

8:49 I really don't think lemon curd should have been baked but rather the cookies should have been removed from the oven, immediately thumbprinted and then filled with the curd. Also, looks like the cookie was more of a crinkle cookie so probably something off with the temperature or some other problem.

[@BEHNR]

i made this recipe before and that‘s exacly what went wrong! they were absolutely perfect when i made them

[@Snooch2theNooch57]

One trick that I learned is when baking anything that calls for lemon/orange zest and sugar you should mix them in a food processor together. It extracts all those citrusy oils and infuses it straight into the sugar. It's like what you did when you massaged the lemon zest into the sugar but way more efficient.

[@enjoiskating963]

The irony of David shitting on baking for using the same three ingredients and then messing up most of the cookies is just 🤌 *chef kiss*

[@rosinamalik6073]

😂

[@IBwantingtosleep]

I tried that oven trick with underripe bananas once in banana bread, and it definitely could have been in my head, but i felt that the banana flavor wasnt as present as when i used bananas that were already ripe

[@knightsofneeech]

Citrus is in season in some places in winter so it's kind of a staple. In olden days, a box of lemons or oranges from Florida or California would be the highlight of Christmas as a damn fine gift for your business partner.

[@glockenrein]

In Germany, tangerines still are a Christmas staple. It has nothing to do with availability anymore and everything to do with nostalgia and how good they smell.

[@piwiprotein6015]

For the lemon cookies I suggest you do two changes to the recipe: 1) add a pinch of turmeric to the cookie dough to make it bright and yellow (or food colouring), and 2) roll the balls in powdered sugar twice. Roll, rest for 10min and roll again. It gives you a thicker sugar coat. Together, these effects should give you a decent contrast between crust color (white) and dough color (yellow). 😉

[@cathierainwater]

I make an icebox cookie with Twinnings Earl Gray tea in the dough, and a little lemon zest...they're dainty (could be made stronger) and really nice compared to some of the super sweet cookies this time of year.

[@Unknown2Yoo]

I was thinking about this, too! Earl grey cookies are fantastic 😁

[@kcnbt99]

Those chai cookies look bomb! Idk anything about Taylor but I'd try them and with other teas as well! Bet an Earl Grey cookie would be delish

[@JohnHausser]

Kelce loves eating it after a “session” 😉

[@moira329]

They all look tasty. If you didn’t mention the lemon cookies were I would have thought they were mango. Happy holidays David and Stephen! I hope you both feel better soon.

[@prccap]

Earl Grey cookies are also great. There is definitely nothing new about but whole tea leaves in cookies

[@luciusfluff]

As a pro baker who is excessively lazy with making things for myself, my go-to cookie is shortbread with tea in it. Usually I use earl grey. It keeps the simple beauty of shortbread but infuses it with any variety of flavors, which in turn still pairs well with a beverage. Also it makes the house smell amazing.

[@Speckme]

He really hit us with the *cold* open

[@MsJosiejo32]

Ayyyy

[@heatherhendriks]

Thank you for staggering the cookies on the tray!! No one else I watch does that and it always bothers me lol

[@phyleshastyle]

First off….WHERE is the disclaimer that my contact photo is a horrible facetune edit to make me look like that fish from that cartoon movie Second…..it brings me the greatest holiday cheer to have footage of you enjoying something of Taylor’s

[@captocie]

if you liked the tea cookie i have a big reccomend of adding raspberry herbal tea packets for raspberry cookies! they're really nice 😊

[@whitneycrawford2226]

That outtro music still makes me happy every time I hear it. Merry Christmas!

[@mrsdiaz614]

Hope you and your family have a merry Christmas, and a blessed new year. 🎉 feel better david!

[@ItsJustLisa]

I’m definitely interested in those lemon curd cookies. I keep cubes of fresh lemon juice in the freezer so I can make it quick when the mood strikes.

[@FaerieQueenASMR]

I LOVE Lemon Curd anything!!

[@leaf1885]

The lemon curd cookies are essentially Engelsaugen, a type of cookie popular in and around Germany. Usually, the get filled with strawberry/raspberry jam and are supposed to be this pale. I personally prefer Linzer though when it comes to jam filled cookies.

[@journeyreeds]

Brown butter helps with making the cookies chewy; many people enjoy a chewy cookie compared to a hard or gooey one.

[@logggsimpson3403]

How does brown butter make it chewy?

[@jasonhunter2819]

It continues to be Taylor's year!

[@millam222]

If you want that crumbley texture on the lemon cookies you need to coat the cookis one more time in sugar just before the oven. 😀

[@learntotakeajoke3100]

Hope you're feeling better and had a Merry Christmas

[@lulomak8329]

david seymour being a 1975 fan is actually the best thing that has ever happened

[@LauranCHB]

Merry Christmas David & family!

[@YourDadYoda]

Words cannot express how disappointed I am that the banana cookies didn’t turn out well

[@lailaes802]

In my country we do a lot of cookies witha cracked top and to get those we put the grill on first until we get the cracks and then cook them normally

[@lindseygrant4945]

Happy holidays Mr. Seymour! Thanks for a great video ❤

[@noahsmith5719]

My wife made the TS chai last weekend! I made her a lavender haze glaze to go along with it:D Also, GET THOSE TORTILLA LAND TORTILLAS!!!!

[@sabasiddique73]

Definitely making the lemon curd cookies

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

GREAT work as always david! Suggestion as a colombian fan: make arroz con leche or tres leches cake! 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@disasterofalldisasters]

Merry Christmas David 🎄

[@TheFilmsKaper]

time for weekly tradition, happy holidays david!

Happy holidays David!

Merry Christmas David! :)

[@R.J.theGentleman]

Get well soon 😂 I'm sick too, ah it sucks, fever and holidays don't mix so well together But, still, Happy Holidays for you guys! 🎉 with tons of tea 👌🏻🍵

[@lenapawlek7295]

Lol i also dont think that lemons are very festive but my parents always have lemons on their lemon tree at Christmas - also you can do lemon curd in a predsure cooker if youre interested

[@JohnHausser]

Matcha 🍵 cookies would be awesome too

[@Chaos_Senpai]

David: you know how much I like banana. That's how he met Steven

[@SolitaryCurve6985]

Thanks for the video, great work!

[@Ash-op2ql]

I don’t know if this is a recipe thing but all of these cookie required melted butter? Even the shortbread? That seems strange to me because creaming the butter/sugar is usually what gives a cookie it’s texture and some of its lift in the oven. I could understand the brown butter being a flavor component but I’m surprised these all have melted butter, which is going to create a much different texture Edit:ok so the chai cookies did have creamed butter kinda.

[@SchmittsPeter]

It is interesting to see that you have no problems eating underbaked cookies while it did cost you everything to try raw ground beef. Sadly only recently discovered your channel. I love your comparison-videos and binged a lot of them in the last weeks. Happy christmas time and a good new year.

[@seanfisher7707]

In my experience, those types of (lemon) cookies always seem to be pale. They have to reach damn near Sahara levels of dryness to get any color on them.

[@222_______________78]

yeah, mine started with that too. really bad allergies, then a week after (now) i am hella sick. everything hurts my throat and i can't breathe and yea im just really sick right now. hoping i'll be better by the new year...

[@xoxoRonniexoxo]

Literally the best Christmas set for any KZbinr

[@HealingandHarm]

Those Lemon Curd ones look exactly like Hallongrotta, the Swedish biscuit that has raspberry jam in the same area

[@functionoflightone]

The very best to you and your honey. Happy Holidays

[@DigiRangerScott]

Next year we need to start incorporating Christmas Corn

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Happy holidays david! Thanks For this!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@elegancebythemile]

I’m one of the girls who gets it David!! The matty & ts debacle has taken its toll

[@kinnelyuwu5771]

A moment of silence for david, who was killed by twitter swifties who took him too seriously when he was making light-hearted jokes 😔😔😔

[@Purrsephone19]

Actually who? Where?

[@Kris-hr4um]

Omg I just witnessed a Philadelphia add in the middle of your video. Just had to share

[@Spyhermit]

that curd didn't end up right. not sure what happened but it should have been a lot closer to transparent than yellow-white.

[@jondoe2960]

Anyone know the kind of pan he uses? Looks like the "Always Pan" I'm tempted to get one, but not sure if it's worth it. It's on sale now though.

[@iamphantomrider]

I voted for the cookies on IG ❤ Looks delicious. Happy Holidays David! It has been a great year and you were part of it :3

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

LOVE your videos! Have a merry Christmas and hope you recover soon! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@hollyshoemaker]

Yo, I am in the same boat with the sicks. My spouse got sick last weekend and I was feeling fine until Wednesday. Thursday was like the worst allergy attack ever and since then I feel live I've been on deaths door. Doctor said that its a nasty head and chest cold that's just making the rounds and we just have to ride it out.

[@rosinka-.-7725]

5:40 i think you need to make frozen caramell pieces...

[@lex3097]

YOU LOVE THE 1975?! I love you even more(: Haha I didn’t think Taylor and Matty were a real couple😂

[@feurigeist]

CHAI TEA? Chai means tea bro, you're saying "tea tea" do you want your coffee coffee with room for cream cream? (ah, Spiderverse my beloved)

[@siennarichards3860]

its a summer christmas in Austrailia

[@cardwellave2]

Love The 1975 AND Taylor.

[@JollyxToasters]

Try cheesecake cookies on yellow bliss road

[@jenniferandrews6556]

to fill a cookie with caramel in an easy way.....put a Rolo in the center

[@vcka]

noooooooo david has christmas illness get well soon

[@maha9073]

David… it’s just chai. Chai literally means tea in Urdu, so when you say chai tea you’re saying “tea tea” 😂 Edit: since this is the first comment of mine to ever get a decent amount of attention (because I’m more of a lurker on KZbin than a commenter) I just wanted to say: Free Palestine 🇵🇸, Free Sudan 🇸🇩, Free Congo 🇨🇩. That’s all ✊🏽🫰🏽❤️

[@Jcatgrl]

to be fair, people in india call western style bread "pao roti" and "pao" is just portuguese for "bread".

[@nixhixx]

So what? People also say Gobi Desert.

[@cool_scatter]

everyone says “chai tea” bruh dont be that guy

[@aatrahameed]

I thought the same Maha 😂 i know you're not mocking him, it just sounds funny 😆

[@carmenrose8986]

Did spiderman teach you that?

[@Unknown2Yoo]

I can't believe he said chai tea unironically 🤦

[@Mia-ce3fj]

The 1975 is also my favorite band, and during that whole obviously joke/not real relationship thing ive also just been annoyed with her somehow being in everything lol

[@dayamarsh7526]

Woahhh the Cheifs hate is wild 😂😂 youre just mad because we’re BETTER! CHIEFS KINGDOM

[@ganiruddha01]

Dafaq is a chai tea? It’s chai

[@originalgenome]

"uhm ackshually, if you say 'chai tea' you're saying 'tea tea' so you should stop doing it☝🏻🤓" yeah, we all know that. language differences exist, quit being insufferable 😭

[@satan88]

you're calling us insufferable for getting annoyed when people not only stole a part of our culture but ruin it by calling it something stupid? lol okay maybe stop getting pressed and actually listen cause saying chai tea makes you look dumb /hj

[@grass666]

​@@satan88did they really steal it? i think most people know masala chai is desi... we have better things to be mad about

[@originalgenome]

@@satan88 🥱

i never said we dont im just saying they did, idk personally everyone ik assumes its a british thing so /lh@@grass666

[@monologuemix]

​@@satan88 🤓

[@dannysmith8970]

Well naturally your lemon curd cookies made with all purpose flour are gonna come out different than the original... the original is a gluten free recipe.

[@sjworrier0613]

Taylor gave you more love with that cookie recipe than the edge lord lead singer of 1975 with his stupidity.. i get I though… I was team Kanye back in the day. Just admit defeat and come to the light… the Taylor tinged light.

[@kathleenroberts6357]

Foos colouring

[@lilasiansquat4526]

Chai tea?! Chai means "tea", bro! You are saying "tea tea"! Would I ask you for a "coffee coffee" with room for "cream cream"?!

[@ohleander02]

I think your oven temps are wrong. Almost none of your cookies baked correctly. Hope you feel better soon!

[@JackTse]

Feel better man! Future reference, don’t show your sickness too much man it’s not appealing for watchers. But happy holidays bro

[@nadiadansani2139]

Not being able to taste banana 😮

[@annbrookens945]

A couple of these sound very good, but that caramel filled chocolate chip cookie was just disappointing!.

[@HeineMagatsu]

CHAI TEA?!! CHAI TEA???? CHAI MEANS

[@mariuszarszylo1476]

I would be so disappointed if I bit into a "chocolate chip cookie" and tastes banana. I know I'm in the minority with not liking banana's.

[@hetadave119]

Its just chai man… cmon chai means tea… no need to say chai tea… by now this should be known

[@TheSpud923]

So youre going to correct someones English 😂 no sir, please come again.

[@ArshaGoswamy]

Chai tea 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

[@mixueer]

"Chai" means "Tea" FYI. Just say "chai" otherwise you're saying "tea tea" ;)

[@stephenhauck5251]

why are you always sick? You should not be cooking if you are sick.

[@rosinka-.-7725]

Chai tea, it's the same as saying tea tea

[@fcbahamutzero]
