OK, so for the sugar cookies first of all you're going to need one cup of butter.

好了，所以糖餅乾首先你需要一杯黃油。

Mmmm, everything's better with butter.

嗯，一切都有黃油更好。

A cup and a fourth of sugar.

一杯四分之一的糖。

You can do this with just a hand mixer if you don't have a huge Kitchen Aid mixer like I do.

如果你不像我一樣有一個巨大的Kitchen Aid攪拌機，你可以只用手動攪拌機來做這個。

Beat those together, cream them.

And add in one egg.

OK, give the bowl a good scrape.

Now we're going to add our dry ingredients which are our flour and baking powder.

現在我們要加入我們的乾料，就是我們的麵粉和泡打粉。

So we need three cups of flour,

所以我們需要三杯麵粉。

Pat and scrape.

拍打和刮痧。

A secret tip: I took out a half a cup of flour and I'm going to add half a cup of corn starch

祕訣：我拿出半杯麵粉，我要加半杯玉米澱粉。

It helps the cookies not spread so much when they're baking.

它可以幫助餅乾在烘烤時不至於散開。

Now I need baking powder.

現在我需要泡打粉。

One and a half.

一個半。

Then a little bit of salt.

然後再加一點鹽。

Don't forget to always put salt in your sweets. It helps balance out that flavor.

OK, now we mix it. And that is the dough.

好了，現在我們把它混合起來。這就是麵糰。

Then once it's all put together, we're going to roll it out between two pieces of parchment paper.

然後，一旦它的所有組合，我們要把它卷在兩張羊皮紙之間。

And stick it in the refrigerator for about ten minutes.

並把它插在冰箱裡十分鐘左右。

To get it nice and cold. It's easier to cut out the shapes if the dough is nice and cold.

要讓它又好又冷。如果麵糰好冷，更容易切出形狀。

Give it a good wipe down.

把它好好擦一擦。

Wipe down the sides, make sure everything is incorporated.

擦拭兩邊，確保一切都融入其中。

And we are done!

我們完成了！

It's a very easy dough, but the kids just love decorating it.

這是個很簡單的麵糰，但孩子們就是喜歡裝飾它。

We end up giving away most of the cookies because if they stay at home, the kids will eat them all.

我們最終會把大部分餅乾送人，因為如果他們留在家裡，孩子們會把它們全部吃掉。

It's very moldable, it's kind of like play dough.

它的可塑性很強，有點像橡皮泥。

But anyway, we're going to go into the other room to open it up.

但無論如何，我們要到另一個房間去打開它。

Got my parchment paper.

拿到了我的羊皮紙。

So you're going to divide the dough into — about in half.

所以你要把麵糰抽成--大約一半。

Do half at a time.

每次做一半。

You can roll it out as thick or as thin as you want

你可以把它捲成你想要的厚或薄的樣子

If they're too thin, they easier to break when you're transferring them.

如果它們太薄，在你轉移它們的時候，它們更容易破碎。

But then you get more cookies, so it's kind of a... tossup.

但你會得到更多的餅乾，所以這是一種... 折騰。

How many years have you been making Christmas cookies?

你做聖誕餅乾有多少年了？

Oh man!

哦，夥計！

Probably since I was 2 with my mom!

可能從我兩歲時就和媽媽一起了吧!

Everything I learned I learned from my mom.

我所學的一切都是從媽媽那裡學來的。

That one's ready to be refrigerated.

這個可以冷藏了。

[Sarah laughs]

[薩拉笑]

Mommy? Tomorrow are we going to decorate it?

媽咪？明天我們要去裝飾它嗎？

Maybe, I don't know.

也許，我不知道。

Your edges will tend to get thinner than the middle

你的邊緣往往會比中間更薄

So make sure you keep everything the same size.

所以要確保所有東西都保持同樣的尺寸。

OK, that feels about even on all sides,

好吧，感覺各方面都差不多了。

Now place them on a serving tray.

現在把它們放在一個服務盤上。

Stick them in my fridge for about 15 minutes.

把它們插在我的冰箱裡15分鐘左右。

OK, we'll be back in about 15 minutes.

好了，我們將在15分鐘內回來。

You don't want to over bake them, because then they'd be crunchy.

Unless you like crunchy cookies, then leave them in there a little longer.

You just go mixing in the water until you get to the consistency that you want.

你只需要在水中混合，直到你得到你想要的濃度。

Once you get to that consistency, then you can divide up your batches of frosting

一旦你得到的一致性， 然後你可以劃分你的糖霜批次，

And add different food colors in it to make different colors of frostings.
