A Kitchen Aid mixer with the dough hook since you're making a stiff dough would be the right thing to do. And you should've told p[eople why you chill (to stiffen the dough even more when making knots), and shoul've shown people how to tie the knots (yes, people need to be shown every little detail).And to make it easier and more consistent, grab a cookie n your hand, flip it upside down, and dip and swirl each cookie into the frosting, then get it rightside up, place on a tray, and sprinkle away. That spoonmethod is what novices do, but I thank you for the recipe, I will be doing th knots, and you got a THUMBS UP!!!

The best tool to have when baking is a large fork. The extra utensils for serving have a fork for salad. It is a wonderful tool for blending things together.

"But we're going to use a folk, just to prove a point" haha. Not everyone has buff forearms like you, Tom. Joking. But seriously, I'll use an electric beater. ;) Great video. thanks for sharing.

For this, highly recommend a mixer if u have one. Thanks for watching!

100 cookies is suppose to be for the small gathering correct?

[@TomCostanza]

Depends how much you can eat. I made this batch for a group of 12. There were some left over. They age well though

My family makes almost this exact recipe other than we melt our butter in our recipe and we use Lemon extract. You left out the eggs in the written recipe.

[@TomCostanza]

Thank you!

I’d like to know if you can freeze the cookie dough. As I’m aging it’s getting too much to do all different recipes

[@TomCostanza]

I would not recommend it

[@bethroundell8424]

Peeps are so cranky! Read the recipe again. Pay attention! If baked goods harden, put a slice of bread in the cookie box.

Are these the cookies that in like 2 days turn rock hard?? My grandmom made them and I loved them

[@TomCostanza]

Um. Im not sure. I typically am able to eat them for at least a week after theyre made

Imagining generations of little old ladies watching a man whine about how hard it is to mix dough.

[@TomCostanza]

They know its hard

I was going to say you need to battle a nonna. She has been there and concurred this event🎅

[@lynnedgar163]

Why on earth would you not do this in a stand mixer with a dough hook? And, yes, it worked. Buon apatite

[@TomCostanza]

Budget cuts. Not there yet

[@barbarafrancis4622]
