So I took some classes, read a lot of books, watch some videos, and of course, did a lot of practice until I felt like my cake decorating skills. We're at the level that I could create cakes for other people, for special occasions. I've had opened up my own home bakery and I started making these kinks for other people. I had this business for several years until my husband got a job offer across the country in New York City. We felt like this was a good move for us. And so I closed my bakery and we moved across the country to New York. Now here in New York City, I do not want to go through the steps to open up a new home bakery. But I still love baking and everything. So I have decided to share my skills with you on Skillshare. Class is for they would like to learn how to make a delicious cookie. It tastes like pecan pie. I am excited to teach you the skills in this class. Let's move on to lesson number one, making the cookie dough or the crust. 2. 02 Making The Crust: We're ready to start making the crust for our pecan pie, tricky bars. The first thing we need to do is get the PAM read. I haven't Pam here. And I just want to spray down. Then I'm also going to hit the parchment paper in the bottom of the panel. And I want the parchment paper to go all the way to the edges. And then I'm just gonna go ahead and spread this camp. I want to make sure that the cookie is stochastic. We're now ready to start doing the press. I have this bowl here. And in the bowl I'm going to mix together the sugar, the butter, and one teaspoon of vanilla. And then we're going to mix these together. I want that tell that butter is completely mixed in. I can turn this. We're then going to add our flower. The flower, I want to mix it. I just want to stir it in. The butter and the flower are combined. We want to get all the flour mixed into the butter. So if you see the white of the flower that you want to keep stirring, because you want that to be mixed in with the butter and dumped it in to our panel. And then we want to spread it around so it totally covers the bottom and I want to press it down. And if you've got what looks like obvious high parts, which I do, you can just merge that down. Bring it to the side actually. Because it's okay if the site comes up a little bit, we don't want the centered come up. Do you want this press up a tiny bit along the side? I'm going to come back a little bit pressed up the side. If I see I parks, which I do a lot, bring him down. Now we're going to stop, stick this in the oven. And it's going to pay for 15 to 17 min until the edges are lightly brown. So I'll check it at 15 min. 3. 03 Making The Filling: The crust is baking. We're going to make the feeling I haven't medium-size mixing bowl. And we're going to add brown sugar, corn syrup. The vanilla one, teaspoon, one fourth teaspoon of assault. And our 38123. Let me chop those eggs. Then with our spoon, we're just going to mix these together. And we're going to mix them until they're all well blended. So I don't want to see any eggs. I want everything to look the same. Once we have that all mixed in, I'm going to stir him. And now this is ready to pour over the press once the process has finished baking. So we'll be back when the first system baking and show you what we do. 4. 04 Baking And Cooling: The oven is about ready to Dean for the crust. When the timer goes off, we will pull it out and we'll show you how to, how to add the feeling. And then we'll give it to second base, the timer. So now we're going to pull the crosstown. As you look at the crest, you can see around the edges is just barely starting to turn a light brown and that's what we want. It also looks dry, like it's set. Now we're going to take our filling that we made. We're going to dump it in here. Once we have an alternate dumped in, we want to of course spread it, making sure that it covers the whole bottom. The filling itself is not very thick. That's over there works really well. I see it's really running. I want to try and get some more nuts over there. Distributed. We're now going to let this carrot for 25 to 30 min until it's completely set. So I'm going to pick this back in the oven. The oven is about ready to team. At that point, we will check it. There are things. We're going to check it and see if it is set. The smell. So I just wanted to check in like a knife in. And as you can see that this set, we're going to let this completely cool. I do want to run this knife. I have it out. Well, I'm sure it's not sticking on the edge. Now that I've run around the edge, we're going to let this cool completely. Once it's cool, will melt some chocolate drizzle on top. And then I will take it out of the pan and I'll show you how to prepare it for serving will be back when this is cool. 5. 05 Chocolate Drizzle: Our Kikee bars have cooled. We're now ready to make the chocolate drizzle that goes on top. I have my 4 oz of chocolate. I'm going to add just one tablespoon of vegetable shortening. This. I want to melt this at 50% power. I'm going to start with 1 min. This is melted for 1 min. I'm going to take the fork and I'm just going to stir it. And I want the chocolate completely melted. And as you can see that 1 min was more than enough. Let's go ahead and bring this over. And we want a drizzle or chocolate onto the cookie. So I'm going to use this book and I'm just going to take it and just like this, don't want to get too much on the fork or you'll get what I got right here. I'm going to scrape. You just want a little bit on the fork at a time. And then you just keep going. I'm gonna go both directions until you get the chocolate pretty much over, all over it. The chocolates gum. Basically what the fork does is it makes it so that you don't get nearest many blobs. If I were to just pour this out of the cup, I would be getting a lot more gloves. Although there is enough chocolate here that it's going to be very chocolatey. 6. 06 Cut and Serve: We're now going to lift this. We're gonna get ready to cut well on it do to try to make it so that it's equals, I'm gonna look at this. I'm just gonna kinda score at the halfway point. Looks good. I'm going to try to go down once I scored hurt. And I like how it looks. Gotta make sure you cut all the way through. Then I'm going to try to look again at the halfway point. It looks like it's right about there. Start by squaring it so I can cut through. And then I'm going to score at again, the halfway point. Now this is posed to make 36, so they're not going to be very big. Now, obviously you can cut the bigger. I'm going to cut this one in half again. I'm going to cut this in half. And then cut this in half again at this in half again. And I have 12345678. So what I wanna do is I'm not going to cut this in half. Going this way. Or similar score it. And then just cut it all the way through in half. And this time I'm only going to cut it in half one more time. I'm just going to go down my pat down like that. So these are more rectangular in shape, but I do want to try to make it in half. I went a little bit of a skew, so I have smaller in the center. And then right here one more time. Now, all we need to do is plate these. I have my plane here and I'm just going to take my little spatula, loves them. Here. You can decide exactly how you want to play that. I'm just going to take it around in a circle. And once I fill that in, I can always tap whatever's left on top. I'm actually going to tilt this up a little bit like that. Angle. Then do the same here. I said it's really up to you how you want to decorate it or how you want to arrange them. And here is my com Pi cookie bars. 7. 07 Final Thoughts: Thank you for taking this class. This class, we had fun or high bars. You learned how to make the bottom layer or the crust. You can learn how to make the feeling. We then paint the ceiling into the crust that had already been partially faced with that big. We then took it out and let it cool. Cookies for cool. We made chocolate drizzle that we then drizzled on top. We then remove the cookies from the pan. We scored and cut the cookies, and then rearrange them on our flower so that they're ready to serve July, guess. I hope your cookies turned out the way that you wanted them to. Please take a picture and post them on our project page and tell us how the recipe for these cookies is in the project section. From my kitchen to your kitchen. Have to pay.
