The Try Guys Bake Cookies Without A Recipe

- This season is all dad. - What a confusing mix of flavors. - The Try Guys are back in the test kitchen for Without a Recipe, the series. Four weeks, four episodes, four meals, no

recipe

s. - Each week, we will focus on a different food:

cookies

, bagels, ice cream, and birthday cakes. - I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to make friends with the judges. - We have YouTube girlfriend Rosanna Pansino and world-renowned chef Roy Choi. - Stay because Without a Recipe it's going to be all month baby. (upbeat instrumental music) (cow mooing) - The Try Guys are back in the kitchen for Without a Recipe.

To start this season, they are baking

cookies

. - Everyone out there, you made a cookie. - It is impossible (beep) to go up. - Oh. - Oh Lord. - Oh. (mouth growling)-Each of the Try Guys will have two hours to

bake

a cookie of their choice and present it to our panel of judges. - We are (beep). - I tell you one thing, I have never seen this. - Hello, I'm Rosanna Pansino and I have the most popular baking show on YouTube. I have been baking since I was four years old. - My name is Roy Choi.

I have no experience in baking, but I am very critical. - Hello, my name is Reece. I am the owner of Brady's Bakery. We are an online baking company. We specialize in cookies and bread pudding. As long as you have good quality ingredients, it's hard to mess up a cookie. - Just wait. (laughs) - Once you have a base cookie

recipe

, it's very easy to change extracts, flavorings and mixes. It's all about the proportions of sugar, fat and flour. If you're having fun in the kitchen for the first time and you're making cookies and you've never made them before, again it's all about trial and error.

Have a great time in the kitchen and don't be afraid to make mistakes because they are going to happen. - No Recipe is the format I developed for Try Guys exclusively to allow me to earn more videos. I will definitely take home at least two of these episodes. I guarantee it. I call, I have cookies, I call, I have cake. - I think I understood the basics. I'm really focusing on creativity. I'm really leading the way on what I can do to include alcohol in this article. - Look, we have made many cooking videos. I've had a good run lately, but that was with one recipe.

This is Try it

guys

without a recipe. Cakes and bread, and both times I got third place. All horse shit. - I don't

bake

. The last time we did this, I didn't do so well. Before that, I didn't do so well either. - That is the worst food I have ever tasted in my life. - I'm not good at this. (upbeat music) (cow mooing) - Alright, bakers. Three, two, one, try baking. (bell rings) - Go away. - Bake. - Today I'm going to make peanut butter and chocolate cookies. I'll add a little white miso to my peanut butter to give it a little umami flavor. - Today I'm going to make a garbage cookie. - (laughs) No, no, what kind of cookie are you making? - That's what I call it.

Now, in the past, I tried this technique. It didn't work, but I feel good today. I'm going to take all the things I love and load them into one monster cookie. - I'm going to make something with alcohol and I'll do my best to put things in a cookie that have no business being in a cookie. And I'm going to try to find a way to put gochujang and miso in a cookie. Let's listen to this again. Korean fermented bean paste. As a Korean, I can safely say that it does not appear in desserts. It's the sauce you put on bibimbap.

I bought this at the Korean market and have it in my refrigerator. - And I will make my father's favorite cookie. My dad loves oatmeal raisin cookies. I'm going for that daddy flavor this season, cinnamon raisin everything. My dad has eaten Raisin Bran every day of his life since I was born. - Greetings to Don Habersberger. What's up, Don? (cows mooing) - To start, each Try Guy will have 40 minutes to prepare the cookie dough. - So for our base cookie recipe, I came up with a little acronym, FEBBS, flour, eggs, butter, baking soda or baking powder and sugar. - I know cookie dough has butter because it makes me poop.

I know it has egg in it because you're not supposed to eat raw cookie dough, but I do it anyway. And I know it has sugar because it's so delicious. - As people in my family would say: "Get out of my room." - So the first step is to cream together the cold butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. I like to use cold butter because it really helps with the texture and density of the cookie in the end. - I take a little almond flour because I like nuts. - I know they make butter and sugar together.

That's where the recipes begin. That's what I'm going to do too. - That's where the recipes end. - Two cups of fine pastry flour. - I'll make two different doughs and then try something weird. I don't know how much is supposed to go into something, so I'm just putting in a bunch. - I'm going to put salted butter on my cookies because I like a good presence of salt. - For me it means not being afraid of salt. You definitely don't want to oversalt your cookie, but I think the salt cuts down on the sweetness and really adds that sweet and salty touch. - People don't realize, you have to have salt in everything.

In fact, I don't think there is such a thing as too much salt. (Zach laughs) - Okay, I cut my butter. I'll put it in the freezer because it's something I see my father-in-law do when he bakes cakes. Something about not letting the butter melt too much is one thing. I don't know what I'm doing, Eugenio. - The next step you are going to do is add the eggs and vanilla. Make sure to mix well until incorporated, but don't overmix as this prevents the butter from melting and spreading too much at the end. - Okay, then I'll use two eggs. - Okay, how many eggs?

Two eggs. (upbeat orchestral music) - Two eggs feel good. - I put some water in the eggs and butter together. I realize that's not right. - First the wet ingredients and then the dry ingredients. - They'll all be together at the end of the day, so. -Everything I know about baking, I know because I screwed up horribly in previous episodes. So I know you're supposed to wet and dry separately. My eggs won't come in until we're really ready. - Oh, and vanilla, obviously. -Will pumpkin-flavored cream liqueur pair better with miso or gochujang? One goes in Baileys.

The other will stay with Kahlua. - Wow, it smells like oats, delicious oats. - And the oil, I feel like cookies have more oil than other things. - The next thing you want to do is add your mixes. In this case, they were chocolate chips, so add the chocolate chips and mix until incorporated. We put this in the wet dough. That way, you don't run the risk of uneven chocolate chips on certain cookies. - Now I have so many raisins to choose from today. Great gold. - Golden raisins. - Small gold and large purple. -My dad loves Raisin Bran, and the main characteristic of Raisin Bran is how many does he have?

Two tablespoons of raisins. - Very well, then it's time for miso. I'm very excited to see how this turns out. - Oh, can I use your cinnamon? - Yes, hey, it's our cinnamon. (whimsical music) - Thank you. - Can I just say that I think oatmeal with raisins has a very bad reputation? - Same, (bleep) same. But if you go in knowing what it is, you'll get some nice chocolate chip oatmeal, with a nice flaky sea salt on top, oh, there's dad's favorite. - Do you call him dad? - No, but growing up, as if everything that belonged to my dad was called dad like that.

The milk, he drank milk with vitamin D, that was dad's milk. He had a coffee cake, that was dad's cake. - This is gochujang cream, which is a very spicy fermented pulverized bean. - Oh, that's very spicy. Oh, I made a mistake, I made a mistake. - Here it goes. - Ah ah. Ah, ah. - I've never seen gochujang in desserts, so. - You know, I've actually heard before that white miso is combined with peanut butter. - We have coconut flakes. We have almonds. We are going crazy. Instead of chocolate chips, I'll make M&M's. Let's get some bittersweet chocolate too.

Sure why not? - This feels very good, it smells like oats. Wow, how sweet. - Nuts in mine. Yes, we'll add some peanut butter and chocolate chips. That will be great. - 20 minutes later, the boys seem to have crashed into a wall. - I'm putting a little salt on it because it was very sweet. It's boring. - Your food? - Yeah. - What, chunky peanut butter? What I am going to do? What I am going to do? Now, don't get me wrong. I love chunky peanut butter, on a sandwich, all day, every day. But in a cookie? - What is that flavor? - Ah, it's so thick. - Add a little allspice to try to make it a little more interesting. - Raisins. - Wow, look at that.

Yes, there are many things. - Fill a cup with peanut butter. If you're going to put peanuts in the name, you should have peanuts as a game. - I can't say with confidence that this tastes good. And as you can see from the color, it is spicy red bean paste. - Tastes good, but still not challenging enough. My dad likes more salt than this, but I think I'm going to put flaked salt on top of the finished cookie. - Oh (plows in the mouth). This may be totally inedible, but I'll do it. - So the final step of the mixing process is the dry ingredients, the flour and the leavening agents.

We make equal parts baking soda, baking powder and salt. In this case we also incorporate our cinnamon and cornstarch. Then I put all my dry ingredients into the wet ingredients at once because you don't want to overwork the flour. - I need baking powder or baking soda. - What is the difference? - I never know. - The more, the better. They probably aren't that different. - Let's go with half a teaspoon. - Look how good mine looks. - Alright, I'm mixing peanut butter into my egg mixture. I'm about to take the butter out of the freezer. - That seems like something. - Set it, twist it, change it.

It gets slower and thicker. That's a good sign. - Does the egg make you stronger? There is nothing wrong with eggs. - Half a cup of chocolate chips. It tastes pretty good. - Oh dear sir. Forgive me, because I am sinning. - I feel like I've done something wrong because they're both very sticky, but I have to get this goop into that goop. - What is this? What is that red stuff on my thumb? -Keith is about to consume Gene's leftover gochujang in three, two, one. - Oh, it's so spicy. - That? - Oh what is it?

What is spicy? - That? - What's spicy on this table? - Did you put pepper in his cookies? - Why do my hands are covered in pepper? Eugene, what do you do with peppers in a cookie episode? - I'm going to put a little almond extract. - Uh oh, looks like Zach is going to make a mistake too. - Oh Lord. - No, it is not good. - Oh Lord. - Why did you do that? - It's like spicy alcohol. Yes, it's alcohol. - Oh Lord. - Really, why did you do that? - I wanted to know what it tasted like before I put it in my cookies. - With 10 minutes left, things aren't looking so good for some of the

guys

. - 10 minutes, okay. - Now what I'm doing makes me sick. - I think I need more ingredients for this to be considered a monster. - Just to add a little more miso.

I don't really taste any miso at the moment. - It's going in the fridge, oh shit. - Okay, I'm going to cool mine too. ♪ We're waiting for our cookies to cool ♪ ♪ We're waiting for our cookies to cool ♪ ♪ So we can put them on the plate ♪ ♪ And in the oven ♪ ♪ And it shouldn't matter ♪ ♪ Which of us wins ♪ ♪ But we'll figure it out ♪ ♪ But we don't know what we're doing ♪ ♪ Break it down, Zach ♪ ♪ Oh, we're making our cookies ♪ ♪ Everybody likes cookies ♪ ♪ They've got butter and sugar ♪ ♪ Everybody's gonna eat it, yeah ♪ - Cookies. - Well, they should be about peace of mind. (cows mooing) - Now that we have our dough completely mixed, it's time to divide the dough into individual cookies.

Be careful to separate the cookies enough. I like to leave two inches on each side. You don't want the cookies to spread out and collide with each other. Otherwise, you'll end up with a cookie cake. - I'll use the parchment paper. The best cookie sheets are coated with butter. - Then, I'll use a normal spoon. Okay, let's do one dish at a time. - What a confusing mix of flavors. - It's very wet. The cookie dough is not wet. I'm just going to lean towards the idea that they look like monsters. You know, let them be globs.

Let the balloons be balloons. Let monsters be monsters. - I'm toying with the idea of ​​shaping the classic peanut butter crunch with the fork on the side. - I'm putting little pretzels on top of mine, for the aesthetics of the hashtag. - I can guarantee you that no one in the history of the universe has ever made this mass. I mean, half is miso and half is gochujang, so it represents the tense historical relationship between Korea and Japan. - Two minutes left. - Two minutes? - Okay, we got it. Come on. - We have this. - Come on. - Okay, we got it. - I feel like I needed to cool them down more.

Cookies aren't supposed to be so moist. - (beep) I'm trying to do taegeuk. - Oh, wow. - Good? Other people might know it as the yin yang symbol. - Okay, my God, my hands are very sticky, but no - They are definitely bigger - I have time toI just don't like it at all. It seems a little careless to me. - But this looks like one of the first cookies I made when I was five years old. This looks like... - It looks like a children's cookie. - It's perfect for a bake sale. This one, for sure what stands out the most to me is the butter content.

I mean, that really adds a lot of flavor, that nice little touch of peanut butter really complements the chocolate. - It just stayed in the oven for too long. And then, let's talk about this oatmeal. - Granola bar, walking companion. However, he simply fell apart. He had nothing holding him together. - The first sun-dried cookie. - Yes (laughs). Well, our Ying Yang cookie. Very creative. I love the presentation. - I think the most creative of all. I like the nutty and vanilla side better. - I mean because Eugene got extra credit. He made two cookies and I will say that this half was really balanced.

I really enjoyed it, even though he pushed the boundaries of what a cookie is. - According to the cookie criteria, this is a pancake, that is a granola bar, that is a bagel. - Okay, but have we made our decision? - I think we know number one. (dramatic music) - So there's a little bit of suspense because there's almost no number three. There is a 4A and a 4B. - We wanted there to be a tie. - We wanted him to be there - for last place. - a three. - You could also say that you tied for third place. - There are no losers.

There are two third places. - So let's start with fourth place, but remember in your heart that you are also third. - Yes, you are also third. - With the other third. (upbeat, suspenseful music) - Oh my gosh. - Oh my God, I'm getting nervous. - This is 4B, 3B. - Are you kidding me? You loved it. What are you talking about? They all ate it, it was his favorite. - Oh. - You had the cookie, you put it in your mouth and you loved it. You loved the flavors. You'd put it at a bake sale. -Stop yelling at Roy Choi. (Zach yelling) - Mainly a texture thing, it's more of a pancake and blueberry, and it was a little raw. - Oh, there are three (bleep) blueberries in the whole dozen.

I feel (bleep) very cheated right now. - I loved some bites. - It's a bit like an audition room, I guess, when they say you did great. - Whoa, whoa, Roy. - Thank you, judges. - Very welcome, now we move on to the third place, which we decided was the oatmeal cookie. Now this was because the texture is again confusing and was on the verge of being a granola bar, it wasn't sweet enough, it was very dry and had a lot of cinnamon. So, splitting hairs, we decided that this is more of a cookie-like hair. - I do not know what I'm going to do. -I'm so glad to know that I totally crushed Zach with this.

The last two are not the last, so I will take third place. I am delighted. I just can't stand the thought of one day getting fourth place in one of these competitions. - Now, as for the winner, it was actually a unanimous decision by all of us. The first two cookies were excellent. This cookie, the Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie, was amazing, great butter content, the flavors of the peanut butter and chocolate were absolutely excellent. This one, creativity through the roof. Both cookie flavors were fantastic. We loved both cookies, but it was very unanimous for us that the winner of this challenge is (hands drumming) the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie. - Yes, my God, wow.

I'm not third place, I'm first place. - Wow, what a ride. - Congratulations, man. - Thank you. - Congratulations, Ned. - You made a great cookie. - Thank you very much, wow. - Thank you to today's judges for eating our cookies, for giving us your wonderful thoughts. This was just the first episode. We have a whole season ahead of us. We have bagels, ice cream and pastries. -And you can bet your ass you'll see a little more of dad's favorite. (bell rings) - Make sure you subscribe to The Try Guys Without a Recipe. ♪ Without a prescription ♪ (upbeat music) - Next week on Without a prescription. - Oh shit, that looks like a muffin. - It is the Jewish national food.

It's our thing, man. - Am I going to get salmonella? - No. I don't care about most things, but today this matters to me.
