Oatmeal Raisin with Golden Raisins, diced Apple and Walnuts. Commercial cookie; those crispy ones that come in a green paper bag, the Chocolate cookie with Chocolate Chip. Also pretty much any Shortbread.

[@thegatesofdawn...1386]

It would be nice if you would say the measurements during your videos. Like, one cup of each flour & bran, half a cup of sugar, 4oz of butter. Etc.

[@BoannBoyne]

Recently came across the channel Jolly and I like the things they are trying but the reactions are so extra and don't seem genuine. I've never seen a person in my life respond to Panda Express with O faces. Love Emmy and FutureCanoe for having very honest and varied responses instead of just OOOOOO every time

[@aprilrich807]

Additionally, she never talks down to us!! Love her.

Yesssss! Emmey is a great person. Deserves so much more recognition. Been here since she was "emmy made in japan" ❤❤❤

change. change, Emmy. change how you insert a 2 minute advertisement for overpriced mattresses at the start of a baking video. Nothing ruins an Emmy video like an Emmy mattress/furniture advertisement at the start of the video. grrrrrrrrr

[@bethrogers5656]

Chances are the original recipe did use lard, not butter. Cow (beef and milk) products are mostly imported in to the Philippines , due to limited pasture land, and especially back then, it was usually canned or dried milk products. Imports were halted during the war, so it can be assumed that ingredients like butter were not readily available. Lard was used also as a way to preserve meats, especially during the war. My grandmother was also a home economics professor, like Maria Orosa during that time in the Philippines and my family told of efforts to get food to prisoners of war. Thank you Emmy for sharing this recipe and the history, as well as your beautiful fresh eggs!

[@escoltarevista4290]

People will always remember Maria Orosa for… Banana Ketchup and Soyalac and DARAK COOKIES

There's something very relaxing about Emmy geeking out over obscure chickens and eggs.

[@phranerphamily]

There's a hatchery in the Midwest called Murray McMurray that has been in business for 110 years now and they do heritage chickens and trying to keep breeds alive so if you want to buy some babies you should get them from them

[@DanaONeillStuder]

I was today yrs old when I learned brown rice becomes white rice by polishing off the bran. 😮 I'm almost 53 and never knew that. Emmy always says she hopes we learned something.

[@Velsbasketcase]

Its done because of lectins and phyctic acid that cause digestive problems and leech minerals out of your body, not worth the small amount of vitamin b.

[@monicahyland8641]

I honestly love how you give thanks to your chickens 🐓 for giving you eggs 🥚, I would love to have chickens someday,but we are living in an apartment at the moment so my love for raising a few chickens will have to wait .

[@makeupdiaries6438]

There's a children's multivitamin drops in the Philippines called "Tiki tiki" and I wonder if it's named after these cookies.

[@siriusnst]

I was wondering if there was a connection to the vitamins too! Cool to have this confirmed.

[@escoltarevista4290]

She called it “Tiki Tiki” cookies but for Filipinos it is called “Darak Cookies”. Grandpa used to work in a factory for Tiki Tiki. He used to buy Rice Bran from Bulacan province then it has to be pressed with water for the extract.

[@robylove9190]

6:29 I remember when you first got that mixer and you were shocked by how fast it was on the low setting. Now, even though you know what it's going to do, you still get that little bit shocked expression, 🥺 when it starts so fast.

[@kyrieanne]

I love how she takes the time to explain the backstory of each har time recipe! I get to learn so much from your videos :) Keep the good work up, we love you!

[@makeupdiaries6438]

We still use bran to feed pigs. You can buy them from rice millers. It's funny that we're giving all the nutritious bits to the pigs and leaving the boring carbs to the humans.

[@escoltarevista4290]

People got used to polished rice not knowing that unpolished is nutritious

[@FedralBI]

They should make a movie of Naria Orosa's life. She seems like she led an interesting life. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@camvin575]

I live in the UK where our "normal" eggs are brown but I feel so special when I find the blue eggs.....just so fascinating to me.

[@jevanllewclovis996]

Oooohhh even as a Filipino, I didn't know they were called tiki tiki cookies because they come packed unlabeled in a lot of our local sari-sari stores (like mini convenience stores/grocers) 🤔🤔 Thank you, Emmy!

[@amberrodriguez1740]

I find it SO amazing how much she learns and memorizes for us in her videos! Such a smart smart lady! ❤

[@avariceseven9443]

WOW! I'm from the Philippines and this is the first time I heard of this. When you said it's from out country, I thought the tiki-tiki means has the vitamins meant for kids called tiki-tiki and that it's used to feed to malnourished children. I did not expect rice bran at all! I did not even know you can eat those. They're for pigs though recently, with our rising rice prices, people online would joke about eating these.

[@CyberMachine]

I've never heard of half of American recipes I see. I am convinced it's only their family making things and they want everyone to start eating it too lol

[@kirstenperez4265]

Omg, I just tried banana ketchup for the first time, and it is so delicious. It's one of the best things I've bought in a long time.

[@roaringturtle8181]

Those eggs are GORGEOUS 🤩

[@ferdonandebull]

Lard is actually a very good fat for hungry people.. it is actually probably a much better fat than butter. I wonder if you could use wheat brand for these cookies?

[@BellieRose]

When I saw the thumbnail, I immediately thought it's looks familiar, like something I used to eat when I was a kid. And I was right! ❤

[@elebunny45]

I really appreciate the Filipino history lesson! :)

[@heidi_mcheidiface]

I prefer the Wilhelm scream mixer rather than editing out "mistakes", aka being human. Relatable, and funny.

[@chrystals.4376]

If Lard was used they'd still be fantastic, I've been baking with it more recently and have been loving the results. ETA: Duck Fat and Beef Tallow can be substituted but I haven’t really experimented with them yet.

[@codename495]

Duck fat will be very meaty and has a similar melting point making for a softer end texture. Tallow has a significantly higher melt point ending in flakier textures and it can also have a rather beefy cast to it.

[@chrystals.4376]

@@codename495 Hopefully I can get Tallow next month and see how it goes.

[@Kristie27]

I busted out laughing from the hand mixer tipping over! I love Emmy and her videos! So genuine and authentic!

[@jesselduque2858]

I've been catching up on your more recent episodes. I saw the "life saving" but not the "tiki tiki" part and when you mentioned that in the video, my spidey sense was tingling. Could it be a Filipino war time recipe? Mad props to Maria Orosa for making all these recipes that seem really applicable to our current times.

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

I am another fan of "hard times" cooking (& other solutions)! 🌟💖🎉 The cookies sound very pleasant! (especially in times of scarcity) I always find it ironic when your sponsor is Helix. It matches the mattress ads that saturate all your videos (currently)

Wow! That's so interesting and amazing. Ms. Orosa was a true heroine. Thank you for sharing the history of these cookies. I want to make them, and share the history behind them, in honor of her courage and lifesaving work. I love seeing your eggs. I raised chickens for many years, and also had other poultry at times. Guinea fowl, turkeys, and ducks. I had many breeds of chickens, so I too, had a rainbow of egg colors. I always enjoyed having the multi color eggs.

[@DonnaSmith-ff2wu]

When using a spoon instead of a scoop to portion cookies, try using a second spoon to help shape and push the dough off the spoon. You'll get smoother cookies and no messy hands.

[@m.taylor]

This is so cool to hear the history about the inspiring heroine Maria behind this cookie recipe.
