0:28
a crowd
0:30
i'm getting ready to go to a cookie swap
0:33

0:36
i got an empty cookie jar
0:39
and i've got to fill it but before i can
0:41
do that there's about two gadgets that i
0:44
need to go pick up so we can make these
0:47

0:54
[Music]
1:00
good morning good morning how are y'all
1:02
doing i'm getting ready to bake cookies
1:04
maybe you can help show me some things
1:06
that would make the job a little bit
1:08
easier what do you recommend we've got
1:10
our traditional professional baker's pen
1:13
they're really hard to beat aren't they
1:14
they are anything else i can use yes i
1:16
think i would actually like to invest in
1:18
some type of form
1:19
something like a little column little
1:21
bit
1:22
exactly
1:23
okay she said i'm making her trumpet
1:25
shaped oh i have just the thing okay
1:27
okay for that you can wrap the cookie
1:29
right around that real quick nice and
1:31
tapered that is pretty i can't wait to
1:34
use them thank you very much and come
1:36
again and if you need anything else give
1:38
a yell oh i appreciate it thank you
1:41
thank you bye
1:47
what a great shop that was i could have
1:50
spent half the day there kathy had so
1:52
many great things and as usual i
1:54
overspent but there was a couple of
1:56
things that i couldn't resist but the
1:59
first cookie we're going to start with
2:00
is the magnolia lace trumpets so we're
2:02
going to start with a stick of butter
2:04
and a half a cup of sugar
2:07
and i'm going to add about a third of a
2:09
cup of dark corn syrup when we get
2:11
through with them they're going to look
2:13
like little rounds of lace
2:16
i'm going to turn that off
2:18
and we're going to take our flour
2:20
and we're going to add a half a teaspoon
2:23
of ginger
2:24
toss that around into the flour
2:27
and then we're just dumping it right in
2:29
there and we're just going to stir them
2:31
up until all the flour is incorporated
2:34
in there
2:35
the last thing that i'm going to add
2:37
though is one tablespoon of bailey's
2:40
irish cream
2:42
oh i love that stuff
2:44
and you could certainly use different
2:46
liqueurs
2:48
now i've really got something that i
2:49
want to show you that i think you'll
2:51
love and it's called a silpat
2:55
it's made of silicone
2:57
and they're just fabulous for cookie
2:59
bacon they're a little on the pricey
3:01
side but i think you'll love it if you
3:03
locate them
3:04
now to scoop up our batter onto our
3:06
cookie sheet i'm going to use a one
3:08
teaspoon measuring spoon
3:11
and a small offset spatula
3:15
and
3:16
this is going to spread i know it
3:18
doesn't look like much batter
3:21
but you're going to be amazed at at how
3:24
big this cookie actually gets we're not
3:26
going to do but three at the time
3:28
because they'll get crisp and hard and
3:32
then we won't be able to roll them we're
3:34
gonna put this into a 350 degree oven
3:37
uh and bake it for about eight or eight
3:38
and a half minutes you'll really have to
3:41
watch these
3:42
because your oven may vary a little bit
3:45
from mine
3:46
but i've found that eight and a half
3:48
minutes
3:49
is just about perfect and while those
3:52
are baking i'm gonna make the cream that
3:54
goes inside of them which really makes
3:56
this cookie
3:58
just melt in your mouth and uh we're
4:01
gonna start with some crisco
4:04
that sounds yummy already doesn't it
4:06
good southern cookie crisco and butter
4:19
all right that's mixed up
4:21
and now i'm gonna heat our milk i'm
4:23
gonna get it just nice and hot and in
4:26
the meantime
4:27
i'm going to come back over here and add
4:29
our sugar
4:31
and cream that together very well
4:38
and i'm going to add one egg white
4:44
[Music]
4:47
this is coming together nicely now i'm
4:49
gonna add our hot milk one tablespoon at
4:52
the time
5:02
now all i have to do is add one teaspoon
5:04
of vanilla and we're ready to fill
5:13
now let's see if our cookies are ready
5:16
all right these look like they're ready
5:18
that was
5:19
just about perfect timing for us
5:24
now this is when we have to work very
5:27
very quickly they're just still a little
5:29
bit warm at this point to work with
5:33
i'm so excited about this little form
5:36
all right now i'm just going to turn
5:37
that over because i really want
5:40
the lacy part to be on the outside of
5:43
the cookie and all we do is slip that
5:46
out and we've got our trumpet
5:51
look how easy
5:54
that kong made this that's just a
5:56
perfect trumpet
5:58
now while those are getting cool for us
6:01
we're gonna come over here and take our
6:02
piping bag and i'm gonna fill this these
6:05
cookies are so pretty when you're
6:07
finished
6:11
and i'm just gonna put the bag down in
6:12
there and start filling
6:16
how beautiful is that
6:18
magnolia lace trumpets i've just got to
6:21
have a taste
6:23
oh
6:30
i promise you
6:31
this one's going to be the first one
6:34
gone
6:35
y'all stick around because i'm fixing to
6:38
show you some neat savannah bow ties
6:41
with a chocolate dipping sauce
6:44
[Music]
6:49
[Music]
6:58
the next cookie we're fixing to make is
7:00
called savannah bow ties and every
7:03
cookie i make i'll you'll see me taste
7:06
it and say oh that's my favorite that's
7:07
my favorite that one no that one's my
7:09
favorite
7:10
i love this cookie we're just gonna
7:13
start with about a half a cup
7:16
of almond paste this is a product that's
7:19
more on the hard side i'm going to help
7:21
it along just by slicing it up kind of
7:24
give him a little head start on getting
7:25
beaten
7:27
and we're going to use one egg yolk
7:29
and we're gonna actually use this white
7:33
in just a few minutes when we're
7:35
finishing up our cookies so nothing's
7:37
gonna go to waste that's the way i like
7:39
it
7:45
now i'm going to add brown sugar
7:49
and milk
7:59
now we're going to take our board and
8:01
lightly dust it because we don't want
8:03
this sticking and then we're going to
8:05
move our puff pastry over here
8:07
you can buy this in the frozen food
8:09
section of your grocery store and it's
8:11
so
8:12
easy to work with and we're going to
8:14
roll it out to approximately 14 inches
8:17
i've even got a tape measure here
8:20
so that i can kind of gauge it as we go
8:23
you know you this dish is just hard to
8:26
mess up
8:28
when you're using a good product like
8:30
the puff pastry it's just fabulous
8:34
and this is what we're going to use on
8:35
our savannah bow ties
8:37
now we're going to cut our puff pastry
8:39
in the middle
8:40
just like that
8:42
and now we're going to put that almond
8:44
filling
8:46
on one side of this puff pastry now
8:48
there's several different ways that you
8:50
can do this
8:52
i like to periodically drop some and
8:55
like i said this is really the hardest
8:56
part of this whole cookie recipe but
8:59
it's gonna make you look like you're a
9:01
first-rate pastry chef i made these
9:03
cookies for michael he loves them in
9:06
fact i sometimes wonder if that's why he
9:09
asked me to marry him
9:11
because he knew he'd have his own
9:13
personal little cookie baker
9:16
so what i'm gonna do is get a piece of
9:18
wax paper
9:19
and some nonstick spray and we're going
9:22
to pat it down that way
9:25
i don't know what i'd do without this
9:26
spray
9:27
comes in so handy so see how it just
9:30
goes together just like that i think i'm
9:32
even going to try this let's see how
9:34
that works
9:36
we just found a new trick that's great
9:39
see you just learn something new every
9:41
time you cook
9:44
all right now we're just gonna fit one
9:46
sheet on top of the other
9:48
just like that
9:50
so we're going to cut 14 one inch strips
9:53
with our wheel see those pretty edges
9:57
and then we're going to come back and
9:59
we're going to cut them directly in half
10:02
just like that
10:03
then we're going to gently pull them
10:05
apart
10:06
then we're going to pick up our cookie
10:08
we're going to give it two twists
10:12
and you got yourself a savannah bow tie
10:15
i'm placing these on a cookie sheet with
10:18
tinfoil i did not spray it because
10:20
there's so much butter in puff pastry
10:22
that you're not gonna have to worry
10:23
about it sticking the next step is
10:27
to beat that egg white remember that egg
10:28
white that we had left over from the
10:30
almond filling but we're gonna beat that
10:33
now
10:34
we're gonna take a little pastry brush
10:36
and just paint these
10:38
and that egg wash is gonna give them a
10:41
pretty shiny coat
10:43
i think on these i'm to sprinkle a
10:45
little coarse sugar on them see how
10:48
simple those are to make
10:50
and they're just going to be spectacular
10:52
now we're going to put these in the oven
10:54
and we're going to let them bake for
10:55
about 12 to 15 minutes so they'll be
10:58
ready in no time
11:02
and while those are cooking i'm gonna
11:05
show you what makes these cookies
11:07
so grand all right i've got sugar
11:10
half a teaspoon of salt
11:14
and some cornstarch
11:16
and we're going to
11:18
break up
11:21
our chocolate
11:22
into our pot
11:25
and we're going to add our cream
11:29
and we've got one egg yolk that we're
11:30
gonna temper into our pot tempering
11:33
means heat slowly if we didn't temper
11:36
that yolk into there it could very well
11:38
turn out like a scrambled egg in there
11:40
and we don't want scrambled eggs and
11:41
chocolate
11:42
and i'm gonna beat up this yolk
11:46
just slightly using a fork and i'm gonna
11:48
add a little bit of
11:50
the warm
11:51
chocolate to that and i'm gonna keep on
11:54
until i've got it
11:55
to about a half a cup and stir it back
11:59
into the chocolate
12:02
and it's getting thick on it so now it's
12:04
time to cut off the fire and i'm going
12:06
to add a little bit of vanilla flavoring
12:09
to it
12:11
we actually got like a hot fudge sauce
12:20
we're getting very close
12:32
our savannah bow ties look so
12:36
good
12:39
look at them
12:43
and i promised you they wouldn't stick
12:45
on the tinfoil because of the butter
12:47
that's in the puff pastry
12:50
have you ever seen such a decadent
12:53
cookie
12:55
i think it's time for a taste
13:08
i know that's why he asked me to marry
13:10
him y'all stick around
13:12
we're gonna make paula's loaded oatmeal
13:14
cookies
13:16
yum with a
13:17
brown butter icing
13:19
[Music]
13:35
well is everybody ready to make my
13:37
loaded oatmeal cookies this is so
13:40
so simple
13:41
don't let all these ingredients up here
13:44
scare you because it's very very simple
13:46
and easy we're going to take
13:48
flour
13:50
we're going to see how good i am
13:52
cloves
13:53
cinnamon
13:55
allspice
13:56
ginger the fourth half teaspoon of
13:59
nutmeg baking soda baking powder
14:03
and a little salt
14:06
that was very simple
14:08
even though it looked like a lot of
14:10
ingredients
14:11
so we're just going to sift those
14:13
together
14:15
with our all-purpose flour so that's all
14:18
we're going to do there we're going to
14:19
move on over here and we're going to
14:22
start creaming our shortening with our
14:24
butter
14:26
love me a little crisco in with my
14:28
butter
14:32
and we're just going to cream those
14:34
together
14:37
the next thing we're going to do is add
14:39
our brown sugar
14:42
so
14:43
we're going to prime our brown sugar
14:44
into our butter and crisco
14:53
now we're going to add one egg
15:05
all right now we're gonna just beat in
15:07
our flour and the buttermilk
15:14
beat it for a minute and then we're
15:16
adding the last of our flour
15:23
all right the buttermilk's worked in
15:25
there
15:27
and here goes the last
15:41
we're going to add about a teaspoon of
15:43
vanilla now
15:52
all right the rest of the ingredients
15:54
we're just gonna fold in by hand
15:57
and that will be our oatmeal
16:01
our nuts now i'm using a walnut
16:07
and raisins nice fat
16:10
plump raisins so we're just gonna fold
16:13
this all up
16:14
we've got our batter ready i'm gonna get
16:17
our cookie sheets
16:19
and this time i'm gonna use the
16:20
parchment paper
16:22
and we're just going to see how that
16:23
works in comparison to the other that we
16:25
used
16:31
i'm going to give it a light spray
16:33
i'm always grabbing pam arna
16:37
and then i'm gonna drop it by the
16:39
teaspoonful
16:41
onto the paper
16:42
now one thing about cookies
16:45
the most important thing is that you
16:47
make them all the same size
16:52
all right these are ready to go into the
16:53
oven and then we're going to be checking
16:55
on them in about
16:56
eight or nine minutes
17:05
now while those are getting ready we're
17:07
going to make our brown butter icing
17:11
we're going to take a sis
17:14
a stick of butter
17:17
y'all act surprised
17:19
and we're gonna melt that and we're
17:21
actually gonna cook it until it's kind
17:24
of a light brown now you'll want to be
17:25
very very careful here because you know
17:28
that butter will burn
17:30
all right our butter is starting to
17:32
brown a little bit you can see it
17:34
foaming up and you can see it's starting
17:36
to change colors on us
17:38
all right
17:40
now we're just gonna
17:42
add the powdered sugar
17:43
and mix that up together
17:47
put in our vanilla flavoring
17:51
all right now we're going to start
17:52
adding
17:53
our water you'll hear me say all the
17:55
time you can always add two but you
17:57
can't take out
17:59
so we'll want to do a little at the time
18:03
kind of beat that up and you can see
18:05
it's just a nice light tan color let's
18:08
check on the cookies and see what they
18:09
look like they should be about ready
18:14
oh
18:16
they look so good
18:23
all right we're ready to drizzle
18:27
and if our consistency's not right we'll
18:29
go back
18:31
so you thought an oatmeal cookie
18:32
couldn't get any better
18:35
why don't we get them up
18:38
off of that
18:40
you can see how nice that that worked
18:42
for us
18:43
don't those look delicious i'm gonna go
18:46
for this one that has the most brown
18:48
butter icing on it
18:54
whole new twist to the oatmeal cookie
18:57
y'all go pour yourself a big glass of
18:59
milk and come back cause i got some tips
19:01
for you
19:06
[Music]

19:17
of quick tips that will make your
19:19
cookies mouth-watering the first thing
19:22
you'll always want to do is start with
19:23
two trays so you can always drop your
19:26
batter onto a cooled tray
19:29
and talking about cute little totes this
19:32
chinese takeout just makes the cutest
19:35
little carryout and on those magnolia
19:38
lace trumpets slip a little ribbon on
19:40
