Adding Wet Ingredients to Candy Cane Cookies

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to make these peppermenty candy cane cookies. Now that our sugar is fully incorporated into the butter, it's time to add the rest of our wet ingredients which is going to be one egg, get that in there. And also the peppermint and the vanilla extracts. And we're going to add in a half of teaspoon of each. So the peppermint is going to give a really nice flavor to these cookies and make them seem a little bit more like actual candy candy canes with the same flavor to them. So add in the peppermint. If you happen to have mint extract instead of peppermint extract and you don't want to go out and buy yet another flavor, then that's fine to use as well it's just not going to be as pronounced of a flavor. And then we want to add in our vanilla and a half of teaspoon of the vanilla as well. Vanilla is just a really base flavor to have for a lot of baking even if you're just going to add in other flavors, it's still to have vanilla in as well. Then we're going to start mixing again and we're going to start at a slower speed like we did with the butter and when we added the sugar. Just to start getting things incorporated before putting it up a notch so things can really mix in and you want to have a nice consistent texture consistency to this, you don't want it to be lumpy at all, you want everything to be nice and smooth."
