The Try Guys Bake Cookies Without A Recipe
- This season is all daddy.
- What a confusing blend of flavors.
- The Try Guys are backin the test kitchen
for Without a Recipe, The Series.
Four weeks, four episodes,four foods, no recipes.
- Each week, we're gonna befocusing on a different food,
cookies, bagels, icecream, and birthday cakes.
- I'm not here to make friends.
I'm here to make friends with the judges.
- We have YouTubesweetheart Rosanna Pansino
and world renowned chef Roy Choi.
- Stick around because Without a Recipe
is gonna be all month long baby.
(upbeat instrumental music)
(cow mooing)
- [Narrator] The Try Guysare back in the kitchen
for Without a Recipe.
To kick off this season,they're baking cookies.
- Everyone out there,you've made a cookie.
- It's impossible to (beep) up.
- Ahh.- Oh my god.
- Oh.(mouth growling)
- [Narrator] Each ofthe Try Guys will have
two hours to bake a cookie of their choice
and present it to our panel of judges.
- We're (beep).
- I tell you what, I'venever seen this ever.
- Hi, I'm Rosanna Pansino,
and I have the most popularbaking show on YouTube.
I have baking since I was four years old.
- My name is Roy Choi.
I have no baking experience,but I'm extremely judgemental.
- Hi, my name is Reece.
I'm the owner of Brady's Bakery.
We're an online baking company.
We specialize in cookiesand bread pudding.
As long as you have goodquality ingredients,
it's kind of hard to mess up a cookie.
- Just you wait.
(laughing)
- Once you have a base cookie recipe,
it's really easy to change up the extracts
and the flavorings and the mix-ins.
It's all about the ratiosof sugar to fat to flour.
If you're having some fun inthe 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.
Just have a really goodtime in the kitchen,
and don't be afraid of making mistakes
'cause they're gonna happen.
- Without a Recipe is theformat that I developed
for the Try Guys exclusively
to allow me to win more videos.
I'm definitely taking home atleast two of these episodes.
I guarantee it.
I'm calling I got cookies,I'm calling I got cake.
- I think I got the basics down.
I'm really focusing on the creativity.
I'm really leading with the foot forward
of what can I do to getalcohol in this item.
- Look, we've done alot of cooking videos.
I've been on a hot streak lately,
but that was with a recipe.
This is Try Guys Without a Recipe.
Pies and bread, and I getthird place both times.
Whole horse crap.
- I don't bake.
last time we did this,I did not do so well.
Time before that, Ialso did not do so well.
- That is the worst foodI've ever tried in my life.
- I'm not good at this.
(upbeat music)(cow mooing)
- [Announcer] All right, bakers.
Three, two, one, try to bake.(bell ringing)
- Go.- Bake.
- Today, I'm gonna be making cookies
with peanut butter and chocolate.
I will be adding some whitemiso to my peanut butter
to give it a little umami flavor.
- Today I'm going to bemaking a garbage cookie.
- (laughs) No, no, what kindof cookie are you making?
- That's what I'm calling it.
Now in the past, I'vetried this technique.
It didn't work out, buttoday I'm feeling good.
I'm gonna be taking all of the things
that I love and loading itup into one monster cookie.
- I'm gonna make something with alcohol,
and I'm going to try mydarnedest to put things
that have no business beingin a cookie into a cookie.
And I'm gonna try to finda way to put gochujang
and miso into a cookie.
Let's hear this again.
Korean fermented bean paste.
I can say with confidence as a Korean,
it does not appear in desserts.
It's the sauce you put in bibimbap.
I bought this at the Korean market,
and I have it in my refrigerator.
- And I will be making myfather's favorite cookie.
My dad loves oatmeal raisin cookies.
I'm going for that dad flavor this season,
cinnamon raisin everything.
My dad has eaten Raisin Bran every day
for his life since I've been born.
- Shout out to Don Habersberger.
What up, Don?
(cows mooing)
- [Narrator] To start, eachTry 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 that cookie dough has butter
'cause it makes-a me poop.
I know it has egg becauseyou're not supposed
to eat raw cookie dough,but I do it anyway.
And I know it's got sugar'cause it's oh so yummy.
- As people in my family would say,
"Get out of my room."
- So your first stepis we'll cream together
your cold butter, brown sugar,
and granulated sugar together.
I like to use cold butter'cause it really helps
with the texture and the densityof the cookie at the end.
- I grab some almondflour because I like nuts.
- I know that they dobutter and sugar together.
That's where recipes start.
That's what I'm gonna do too.
- That's where recipes end.
- [Ned] Two cups of fine pastry flour.
- Gonna make two different batters,
and then try something weird.
I don't know how much issupposed to go in anything,
so I'm just putting in a bunch.
- I'm gonna put saltedbutter in my cookies
'cause I like a good presence of salt.
- To me, it's don't be afraid of salt.
You definitely don't wannaoversalt your cookie,
but I think salt kindof cuts the sweetness,
and really adds that salty sweet bite.
- People don't realize,
you've gotta have salt in everything.
In fact, I don't thinkthere's such a thing
as too much salt.
(Zach laughs)
- All right, I've cut my butter.
Gonna put it in the freezer
'cause it's just something I see
my father-in-law do when he bakes pies.
Something about not letting your butter
get too melted is like a thing.
I don't know what I'm doing, Eugene.
- The next step you're gonna do
is you're gonna add inyour eggs and your vanilla.
Make sure to mix well until incorporated,
but do not over-mix becauseyou avoid melting the butter
and overspreading at the end.
- [Keith] Okay, so I'm gonna use two eggs.
- Okay, how many eggs?
Two eggs.
(lively orchestral music)
- Two eggs feels good.
- I put some water in theeggs and the butter together.
I realize that's not right.
- Wet ingredients first, andthen your dry ingredients.
- It's gonna all be togetherat the end of the day, so.
- Everything I know about baking,
I know from what I fucked uphorribly in previous episodes.
So I know that you're supposed
to do your wet and your dry separately.
My eggs are not going inuntil we're really ready.
- [Ned] Oh, and vanilla, obviously.
- Will pumpkin-flavoredcream liqueur go better
with miso or gochujang?
One goes in Baileys.
The other will get Kahlua.
- Whoa, it smells likeoatmeal, delicious oatmeal.
- [Ned] And oil, I feel like cookies have
more oil than other things.
- The next thing you wannado is add in your mix-ins.
In this case, it was chocolate chips,
so add in your chocolatechips and just mix
until incorporated.
We put this into the wet batter.
That way, you don't run the risk of having
chocolate chips be unevenin certain cookies.
- Now, I have so manyraisins to choose from today.
Big golden.- Golden raisins.
- [Both] Little golden and big purple.
- My dad loves Raisin Bran,
and the number one signaturething about Raisin Bran
is it has how many?
Two scoops of raisins.
- All right, so time for the miso.
Me so excited to see how this turns out.
- Oh, can I use your cinnamon?
- Yeah, hey it's our cinnamon.
(whimsical music)- Thanks.
- [Zach] Can I say, I think oatmeal raisin
gets a really bad rap.
- Same, (beep) same.
But if you go in knowing what it is,
you get a good oatmeal chocolate chip,
with a nice flaky sea salt on top,
oh you got Daddy's favorite right there.
- You call him Daddy?
- No, but growing up, likeeverything that was my dad's
was called Daddy this.
The milk, he drank vitaminD milk, that was Daddy milk.
He had this coffee cake,that was Daddy cake.
- This is cream gochujang,which is very spicy,
fermented pulverized bean.
- Oh, that's really spicy.
Oh, I made a mistake, I made a mistake.
- Here goes.- Ah, ah.
Oh, oh.
- [Eugene] Never seengochujang in desserts, so.
- You know, I have actuallyheard about white miso
being combined with peanut butter before.
- We got coconut flakes.
We got almonds.
We're going nuts.
Instead of chocolate chips,I'm going to do M&M's.
Let's get some bittersweet chocolate too.
Sure, why not?
- This feels really nice,smells like oatmeal.
Whoa, so sweet.
- Pecans in mine.
Yeah, we'll add some peanutbutter and chocolate chips.
That'll be great.
- [Narrator] 20 minutes in,
the guys seem to have hit a wall.
- I'm putting some saltin 'cause it was so sweet.
It's boring.- Your food?
- Yeah.
- What, chunky peanut butter?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna 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 chunky.
- Put a little allspice in there
to try to make it alittle more interesting.
- Craisins.- Wow, look at that.
Yeah, it's a lot of stuff.
- Full on cup of peanut butter.
If you're gonna put peanut in the name,
gotta have peanuts as your game.
- I cannot with confidencesay that this tastes good.
And as you can see from the color,
that is spicy red bean paste.
- It tastes good, but it's still
just like not challenging enough.
My daddy likes more salt than this,
but I think I'm gonnaput flake salt on the top
of the finished cookie.
- Oh (mouth gagging).
This might be totally inedible,
but I'm just going for it.
- So next, the final stepof the mixing process
is the dry ingredients,
your flour, your leavening agents.
We do equal parts baking soda
and baking powder and your salt.
In this case, we also incorporated
our cinnamon and corn starch.
Then I put all of my dry ingredients
into the wet all at once
'cause you don't wanna overwork the flour.
- I need baking powder or soda.
- What's the difference?
- I never know.
- The more, the merrier.
They're probably not that different.
- [Keith] Let's go with half a teaspoon.
- Look how good mine looks.
- [Ned] All right, I'mmixing peanut butter
into my egg mixture.
I'm about ready to get mybutter out of the freezer.
- That looks like something.
- Set it, flip it, switch it.
It's getting slower and thicker.
That's a good sign.
- Does egg make it stronger?
Nothing wrong with eggs.
- A half a cup of chocolate chips.
Tastes pretty good.
- Oh dear lord.
Forgive me, for I am sinning.
- I feel like I've done something wrong
'cause these are both so goopy,
but I gotta get this goop into that goop.
- What is this?
What is this red stuff on my thumb?
- [Narrator] Keith is about to consume
Gene's leftover gochujangin three, two, one.
- Oh, it's so spicy.- What?
- Oh, what is it?
What is spicy?- What?
- What is spicy on this table?
- Did you put pepper in his cookies?
- Why is my hands covered in pepper?
Eugene, what are you doing with peppers
in a cookie episode?
- I'm gonna put some almond extract.
- [Narrator] Uh oh,looks like Zach is also
going to make a mistake.
- Oh, my god.- No, it's not good.
- Oh, my god.- Why did you do that?
- It's like spicy alcohol.
Yeah, it's alcohol.- Oh, my god.
- Really, why'd you do that?
- I wanted to know what it tasted like
before I put it in my cookies.
- [Narrator] With 10 minutes left to go,
things are not looking sogood for some of the guys.
- [Keith] 10 minutes, okay.
- [Eugene] Now, I'm gettinggrossed out by what I'm making.
- [Ned] 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 right now.
- [Keith] It's goingin the fridge, oh shit.
- All right, I'm gonna also chill mine.

- Cookies.
- Well, they should be about chill.
(cows mooing)
- Now that we have our fully mixed batter,
it's time to portion out thedough into individual cookies.
Be mindful about spreadingyour cookies far enough apart.
I like to allow two inches on each side.
You don't want the cookies to spread out
and run into each other.
Otherwise, you'll windup with a cookie cake.
- I'll use the parchment paper.
The best cookie sheetsare lined with butter.
- [Keith] So, I'm justgonna use a normal spoon.
Okay, let's do one platter at a time.
- What a confusing blend of flavors.
- [Ned] It's very wet.
Cookies dough is not wet.
I'm just gonna lean into the idea
that they look like monsters.
You know, let them be globs.
Let globs be globs.
Let monsters be monsters.
- I'm toying with the idea of the classic
peanut butter crisp shaping
with the fork stuff on the side.
- I'm putting littlepretzels on top of mine,
for hashtag aesthetics.
- I can guarantee youthat no one in the history
of the universe has ever made this dough.
I mean like, one half ismiso, one half is gochujang,
so it kind of representsthe fraught historical
relationship between Korea and Japan.
- Two minutes left.- Two minutes?
- All right, we got this.
Come on.- We got this.
- Come on.- All right, we got this.
- I feel like I neededto chill these more.
Cookies are not supposed to be so wet.
- (beep) I'm trying to make the taegeuk.
- Oh, wow.- Right?
Other people might knowit as the yin yang symbol.
- Okay, oh my god, my hands are so sticky,
but I don't- Those are definitely bigger
- have time to wash them.- than these.
You have 30 seconds.
- 30 (beep) seconds, oh my god.
- Wow, this is likereal cooking show drama.
The timer's counting down.
Every time you watch those shows,
you think that it's imaginary,
but this is real, like we have 30 seconds,
and I don't know if I'mgonna be able to plate this.
This is exciting.
- [Announcer] Five, four, three, two, one.
Hands up, bakers, hands up.
- Whoo.- Yeah.
(cow mooing)
- [Narrator] The cookieshave chilled for an hour.
Now it's time to put them in the oven.
- Let's start the timer please.
Remember from childhood thatcookies, they cook fast.
- Frozen cookies that I bake in my house,
cook about nine to 10 minutes,
and since these are just refrigerated,
I think it's gonna be moreseven or eight minutes.
- Dude, I'm done.
- My guess is 12 minutes.
- 12 minutes, really, that fast?
- I think they cook pretty fast.
Maybe 25 minutes, I don't know.
- [Ned] I prefer a gooier cookie,
so if I pull it out earlier than later,
I'll probably be more okay with that
than it being really (beep) crispy.
- I smell Korean food.
- So far, I think I'm doing a thing.
- They look like cookies.
- They look like cookies.
- We put our cookies inat 375 for 14 minutes.
We're looking for a riseuntil it's a nice dome shape,
a little bit of spreading,and then a nice golden
sun-kissed brown and alittle cracking on the edges.
- Oh, look at them.- Oh, oh, well,
something's immediately happening
and that something is not promising.
- [Keith] Huh, what is that?
- I will say, I forgot to put
any baking powder, baking soda.
I don't know if that's a thing.
I meant to, I didn't.
- Well, I did, but I onlyput a little bit of one.
- Oh, (beep) god, dude.- Look at that.
- They're really melting.- I've never seen that.
- They are really melting.
- I've really never seen that.
- What is happening?
- If your cookies arespreading way too much,
and it just looks like it'sturning into a pudding,
at that point, you probably know
you have way too much butteror just not enough flour.
- [Ned] Oh my god, my cookiesare definitely melting.
- [Eugene] Did you put too much butter in?
- They look like pancakes.
I think I put too much butter in.
This is awful.
I'm losing my ridges.
- It's like they're peeing.
- It's been one minute and they are melt.
Is that the caramel?
That can't.- Super weird, whoa.
- Gonna take all the confidencefrom about 40 seconds ago
and throw it out the window.
We're (beep).
- I'll tell you what.
I've never seen this ever.
(beep)
- I'm sorry.
(Ned yells)- I'm sorry, Ned.
I thought yours were gonna be perfect.
- They've met.
They've met and now they'remarried and they're one cookie.
- It's like it's crying glass.
- (laughs) What is happening?
- Ah, like a sheet(beep).
- Looks like I'm makingmeth in "Breaking Bad."
I'm leaving, I'm gonna walk away.
There's nothing I can do standing here.
- Look at them, it's getting even worse.
No, they're gonna besquares by the end of this.
- Do we have a cupcake tray?
Ceramics, do we haveanything that can help me?
- I'm making an emergency batch.
I still have batter left over.
- [Crew Member] No, no we cleared that.
- We cleared that?
I had leftover dough.
I can make a second batch.
Where is it?
Who threw out my leftovers?
Where is it, where is it?
No, this could have been it.
Why?
Oh, my pants are covered in garbage.
(metal clanging)
- What's crazy is that they are (beep),
but they're still just pure liquid.
There's so much just butter everywhere.
Okay, we're just gonna give it little dab,
soak up the excess butter, oh boy.
- They look nicer thanI thought they would,
but I think they're a little too fluffy.
- How do your (beep) giant ass spicy
douche bag cookies so good?
- You did set out to make garbage cookies.
I think you've done it.
(laughing)
I'd venture to say that's a golden brown
and a toasted marshmallow,
like it looks more appetizing.
You would never know there'sKorean fermented bean paste
inside of them.
- I got my cookies.- You got 'em?
- [Keith] Yeah, they look and smell good.
- [Zach] You know what, Ithink Daddy'll be proud.
- You know Daddy's gonna like it,
loves when he creams his cookies.
(laughing)
We won't use that joke.
- Okay, I need to prep a baking rack
and a knife and a wholebunch of (beep) courage.
Let's do this, let's go, go, go, go, go.
- [Eugene] They look amazing.
They're way too big.
- Ooh.- Hot tray, hot med tray.
- Hot cookies coming through, let's dance.
Here we go, hot cookies, okay.
They don't look as bad as they should.
Remember, you just needa dozen to present.
- Just need a dozen.
(lively music)
Hey Ned, how's it going?
- Not now.- Okay.
- Okay, all right, all ready.
- 12, yes, let's go,let's go cookies, whoo.
(coughing) Oh, god.
(crew members clapping)
What a rollercoaster.
- And now it's time to cut
to some cute ole little baby cows.
(cows mooing)
- Today, we're gonna bejudging you on four things,
presentation, taste,creativity, and is it a cookie?
- For me, I like a reallythick cakey cookie,
gooey center, firm exterior,and lots and lots of flavor.
- My favorite cookie isa chocolate chip cookie.
I just want these cookies to taste good
and not be burnt.
- Perfect chocolate chip cookie
is still the quintessential cookie.
(light whimsical music)
- Judges, I present toyou a return to childhood,
a cookie that uses all thethings that I loved as a kid,
M&Ms, pretzels, caramel, and more.
I hope you go gaga for mylittle monster cookies.
- [Rosanna] I really likethe presentation, very fun.
- [Zach] Oh, he's eatingit, he's eating it.
- Mmm.
- [Reece] Creativity-wise,I mean I like the fact
that you put in some reallycool ingredients in there.
- This could have been a hot mess,
but it actually is pretty.
- I definitely like theM&Ms in the chocolate.
I don't taste enough salt.
- I like that depending on where I bite,
it taste different.
(laughing)
It's a surprise every time.
I like the middle, theoutsides are burnt though.
- Did you use any sort of leavening,
baking soda, baking powder in this?
- Sure.(all laughing)
- [Reese] Cool.
- This is a lot of butter.
I mean, it's just so soft.
This is without breaking, it can bend.
- Does it not look like the most delicious
little yarmulke you've ever seen?
(all laughing)
- It looks like a state.
- That looks like Australia actually.
- Or Australia.
- It's like if a cookieand a pancake had a baby,
which is actually creative.- We're making babies here.
- Thank you.
- I mean, that is creative.
- No, I'd buy this at a bake sale.
Bake sale cookies are usually bad.
- But didn't you say bakesale cookies are the worst?
- I would if you'd wrapthese individually.
- Tastes good.
- Do most of your experimentscome out this edible?
- No,- Not his.
- Definitely not Zach's.- Definitely not mine.
I feel like a winner already.
- I'm just not sure too much,for me, if it's a cookie.
- So you don't thinkit's a cookie, but to me,
it's a cookie, 'cause Idon't know what else it is.
(all laughing)
- Judges, these cookies honor my father,
Donald Habersberger, wholoves oatmeal raisin cookies.
These are oatmeal raisin cinnamon cookies,
also known as Daddy's Favorite.
(bell ringing)
- First of all, right away,the presentation is beautiful,
and I love the sprinkle of salt.
- [Rosanna] I can smell
a lot of cinnamon.- They smell delicious.
They smell delicious.
- Am I supposed to like it?
(all laughing)
- It's oh.
- What do you not like?
- It's a little deceptive.
- I like all the flavors,but it's very dry.
Maybe too much cinnamon.
Cinnamon sucks all themoisture out of something.
- Well, it's like the onlyflavor I taste is cinnamon,
just is deceptive becauseyou think it's gonna be
this super chewy soft delightful cookie,
and it just kind ofcrumbles in your mouth.
- These were baked, correct?
- Yes.
- Okay, because they feellike you took oatmeal,
like soft oatmeal, and then formed them,
and then sun-dried them.
All of this is coming from a good place.
It really is.- It really is.
I like the presentation, andI like the ratio of raisins.
Just the taste is theone, that's the one pill
I'm a little struggling with.
- People don't eat cookies for the taste.
They eat it for the numberof raisins or the look.
Fathers often have avery dry sense of humor,
and I tried to capture that in my cookie.
(bell ringing)- As Daddy's Favorite.
- It's a metaphor.
- Yes, favorite.(bell ringing)
- I think the title is creative, I do like
the Daddy's Favorite.(bell ringing)
- Thank you.
But you know, it's a standardoatmeal raisin cookie,
with a little bit of sea salt on top.
So, I think it's pretty down the middle.
- And is it a cookie?
- I think it's a cookie,it's just a deceptive cookie.
- I would consider thisto be more of a cookie
than the last one we saw
because the look and the texture.
It just lacks eating.
(all laughing)
- It feels like put a bunchof saltines in your mouth.
- Go to (beep) hell, man.
It's not that dry, (beep) you.
How dare you (beep) pile on,in my moment of weakness?
But what if I market it as a health bar?
- That would work.- That would be better.
- I would totally buy that.- It'd be more on track.
- Absolutely.
- 'Cause then you'relike, "This is pretty good
"for something healthy."
Does it speak Dad to you?
- No, I would never feed my kid this.
(all laughing)
- But would your kids feed you this?
- No.
- Judges, I present to you
my peanut butter chocolate crisps.
As a kid, my favorite cookies to bake
were peanut butter cookies.
- Well, off the bat, it looksstraight up like a cookie,
for sure on the crispier side.
I love the sprinkled salt on top.
- Very thin, I mean this a very
skinty cookie.- But it doesn't budge though.
- Look how thin we are here.
I mean this is like paper thin.
- It looks like you bakedbefore, in your life.
- Ah, yes, yes I did.- It looks really good.
- Chewy in the middle,crispy on the outside.
There's little bit morecrisp than I would like.
You've got some burning.
- Yeah.
- It's so close, it's just the burning.
- I think it's a great cookie.
I'd pay four dollars for this.
- Wow.- Whoa.
- I don't have any- I can't believe (beep)
- criticisms, man.
I think it's a great cookie.
I don't know what the hellthey're talking about.
- I really wanna taste the chocolate chip,
and it's just kind of few and far between.
Peanut butter's a pretty strong flavor,
so you can pretty much putit in any kind of cookie.
- I don't know if I'veever had a peanut butter
chocolate chip cookie before in my life.
Do they exist out there?
- Yeah, I have one on my menu.
- Oh, you do, okay.
(all laughing)
I told you I have noqualifications for cookies.
So for me, this is actually a big day
'cause this is thefirst time I've ever had
a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie.
- You never forget your first.
- Never forget my first.
- Is this a creative cookie?
- I've given nothing but complements,
but I don't think it's that creative.
- Peanut butter and chocolate chip, to me,
it's pretty standard.
- But judges, is it a cookie?
- Definitely a cookie.- Yes.
- Yes, it's a cookie.
- [Rosanna] It's a cookie.
- Good job.(all clapping)
Nice work, Ned, bravo.
- [Eugene] Judges.
- Wow.- Whoa.
- I proudly present to you.
- [Reece] Oh my god.
- My Ying Yangs.
I was inspired by creatingtwo different batters,
putting them together as opposing forces,
with some unconventional flavors.
- I love this idea.
I love the presentation.
You know I'm a Gemini.
There's the sweet side andthen there's the feisty side.
- Oh, that's a gooddescription of what this is.
- Presentation is beautiful,
like it really does meanwe were all like, "Ah."
That's like an Instagrammablefricking shot right there.
- [Rosanna] This is huge.
This is the size of a bagel.
- It's a strange cookie.
(laughing)
I'm not saying it's bad or good.
I'm just saying it's strange.
- Whoa, oh, oh my god, it's so.
Why is it so spicy?
Oh my god.
- Oh.
- So judges, on the lighter side you have
vanilla, pecans, Baileys thathas a pumpkin spike to it,
a lot of miso,
and then on the darkerside, you have chocolate,
cacao, Kahlua, and gochujang.
- Spicy chili.
- I feel like we're judgingtwo cookies here though.
I feel like we got the pecan vanilla one,
which actually I like.
- [Rosanna] It's very good.
- And then you got the darkerone with the spice in it,
still delicious, it's just again,
it's like super cakey to me.
- It's strange.
(all laughing)
Presentation-wise, it's extremely unique.
Tastes pumpkin-y, but this taste bagel-y,
and it tastes like a pumpkin bagel.
(Reece coughing)Pumpkin bagel.
- I just got the spicy side.
- With gochujang, it's important to add
a lot of aromatics tobalance out the paste itself.
So ginger, garlic, green onions.
- Cookie batter.
- Cookie batter.
- Very edgy because thisis pushing the boundaries
of what is a cookie, creativity.
- Baking two cookies into one cookie.
Is it a cookie?
- I thought thepresentation was beautiful.
It's just not to me, it isvery borderline cookie-cake.
- I almost put gochujangin as an experiment,
with the expectation thatit might totally fail,
but it's not as strong.
It actually baked out morethan I thought it would,
but the heat is still there,
which I still quite like that.
- Well, thanks for allyour cookies, you guys.
We're gonna deliberate now andfigure out who's the winner.
- Okay, all right.- Thank you.
(cow mooing)
- Now, it's time to talk aboutthe guys and how they did.
Zach's Frankenstein cookie,the thing that I didn't like
was also the same thing I loved.
I loved how every bite tasted different.
I like to be surprised,
but I bit into a fewbites that were terrible.
I didn't like the cranberry.
- I didn't get anycranberry, but I just think
the presentation, it justdoesn't like like anything.
It looks a little sloppy to me.
- But this looks like oneof the first cookies I made
when I was five years old.
This looks like--
- It looks like a kid's cookie.
- It's perfect for a bake sale.
This one, for sure what stands out for me
is the butter content.
I mean that really bringsout a lot of flavor for it,
that nice little hint of peanut butter
really complements the chocolate.
- It just stayed in theoven a bit too long.
And then, let's talk about this oatmeal.
- Granola bar, hiking buddy.
It just crumbled though.
It had nothing holding it together.
- [Roy] The first ever sun-dried cookie.
- Yeah (laughs).
Well, our Ying Yang cookie.
Very creative.
I love the presentation.
- I think the most creativeout of all of them.
I like the pecan and thevanilla side the most.
- I mean 'cause Eugene did extra credit.
He made two cookies, and I will say,
this half was really balanced.
I really enjoyed it, eventhough it pushed the boundaries
of what is a cookie.
- Based on the cookie criteria,
this is a pancake, that's a granola bar,
that's a bagel.
- Okay, but have we made our decision?
- I think we do know number one.
(dramatic music)
- So there is a littlesuspense because there almost
isn't a number three.
There's a 4A and a 4B.
- We wanted there to be
like a tie.- We wanted there to be
- for last place.- a three.
- You guys could also say thatthey tied for third place.
- There are no losers.
There are two third places.
- So we're gonna start with fourth place,
but just know in yourheart, you're also third.
- [Roy] Yeah, you're also third.
- With the other third.
(lively suspenseful music)
- Oh, my god.
- Oh my gosh, I'm getting nervous.
- This is 4B, 3B.
- Are you kidding me?
You loved it.
What are you talking about?
You all ate it, it was your favorite.
- Whoo.
- You had the cookie,you put it in your mouth,
and you loved it so much.
You loved the flavors.
You'd put it in a bake sale.
- Stop yelling at Roy Choi.
(Zach yelling)
- Majorly a texture thing,that it's more of a pancake,
and the cranberry, andit was a little uncooked.
- Oh, there are three (beep) cranberries
in the whole dozen.
I feel (beep) hoodwinkedso hard right now.
- I loved some bites.
- It's a bit like anaudition room, I guess,
when they say you did great.
- Wow, whoa Roy.
- Thank you, judges.
- Very welcome, nowmoving onto third place,
which we decided was the oatmeal cookie.
Now, this was because thetexture again is confusing,
and it borderlined being a granola bar,
wasn't sweet enough, and very dry,
and a lot of cinnamon.
So splitting the hairs,we decided that this one
is a hair more of a cookie.
- I don't know what I'm gonna do.
- I am so happy to hear that Itotally crushed Zach in this.
Bottom two is not bottom one,
so I will take third place.
I am thrilled.
I just cannot handle the thought of ever
getting fourth place inone of these competitions.
- Now for the winner, this was actually
a unanimous decision by all of us.
The top two cookies were excellent.
This cookie, the chocolatepeanut butter cookie,
was incredible, excellent butter content,
the flavors of the peanutbutter and the chocolate
were absolutely superb.
This one, creativity through the roof.
The two flavors of cookies were fantastic.
We loved both cookies, but for us,
it was very unanimous that thewinner of this challenge is
(hands drumming)
the chocolate chip peanut butter cookie.
- Yes, oh my gosh, wow.
I'm not third place, I'm first place.
- Wow, what a ride.
- Congratulations, man.- Thank you.
- Congrats, Ned.- You made a great cookie.
- Thank you so much, wow.
- Thanks judges todayfor eating our cookies,
for giving us your wonderful thoughts.
This was just the first episode.
We got a whole season coming at you.
We got bagels, we got ice cream,
and we got cakes.
- And you bet your buns,you'll see a little bit more
of Daddy's Favorite.(bell ringing)
