We are making the final
0:05
12 days of Christmas cookies.
0:11
And I think it's something
0:13
that adults or children will love.
0:17
It involves a toasty marshmallow and chocolate.
0:21
And it's a real easy recipe,
0:22
real easy to throw together.
0:24
This is one of those recipes
0:26
that was featured in my magazine,
0:29
"Cooking with Paula Deen."
0:31
And so it's tried and true, y'all.
0:35
So I've got a stick of butter,
0:42
and it's gonna take me three or four minutes
0:44
to cream this up real good.
0:47
Then I'm gonna add the egg.
0:49
So y'all excuse my noise.
0:53
All right, y'all, you wanna make sure
0:54
that periodically you bring the sides of the bowl down
0:59
so you can get it all creamed.
1:05
All right, I've been at this for three or four minutes.
1:07
It's nice and creamy.
1:08
Now I'm gonna add my egg.
1:12
Okay, that's nice and creamy.
1:14
Now I'm gonna come over to this bowl
1:15
and I'm gonna add my flour,
1:22
And this is what I make my peanut butterballs with
1:26
from my first and second grade that I used to love
1:30
that they prepared on Fridays.
1:33
Right now I've got my unsweetened cocoa,
1:45
Now I'm going to slowly add that
1:54
along with my vanilla.
2:04
Okay, and we are gonna cook these,
2:08
bake these at 350 for about eight minutes.
2:16
All right, we've got all of our flour worked in
2:22
to our butter mixture.
2:34
maybe an overflowing teaspoon (chuckles),
2:39
because y'all know how I feel about my homemade vanilla.
2:43
Ooh, that was perfect.
2:44
That was a perfect teaspoon, y'all (chuckles).
3:26
And now we're gonna take
3:30
an additional amount of sugar.
3:33
I think it's maybe a third or something like that.
3:36
You'll find all that in the recipe.
3:39
And then I'm going to mix it with cinnamon.
3:43
And we're gonna make,
3:45
we're gonna roll our dough into one-inch balls
3:49
and then we're gonna roll 'em in our cinnamon sugar mixture.
3:56
All right, trying to figure out what a one-inch ball is.
4:01
It depends on whose hands are doing the rolling (chuckles).
4:08
When Joseph is here in the kitchen cooking with me,
4:13
I like to think he'll be a regular guest here.
4:16
And y'all seem to like him too.
4:26
would probably be three teaspoons.
4:32
'Cause we were doing a recipe one day
4:34
and his were so much bigger than mine.
4:39
Eight minutes at 350.
4:43
And then we're gonna take these out
4:46
and we're going to top each cookie
4:48
with a half of a marshmallow, a big marshmallow,
4:52
and we're gonna put it under the broiler
4:54
and try to toast these.
4:56
And y'all know my broiler is a sick, sick something.
4:59
So I'm hoping that that oven over there will broil.
5:03
Okay, y'all, eight minutes on our cookies.
5:07
Now I'm pressing the cut side down
5:12
of the marshmallow onto the cookies.
5:16
And you know I told you my broiler is sick.
5:20
Once in a while, it'll come on,
5:22
and once in a while, it won't.
5:24
So I've got out my little heater (chuckles),
5:31
so I may have to just toast them with
5:40
my little hand heater.
5:43
I can't tell if it's flipped on yet or not.
5:49
Ooh, these are gonna be so good.
5:55
And I love that you can get a lot on the cookie sheet,
5:59
you know, 'cause they go kind of puffy,
6:06
And to me that's always good.
6:09
Okay, let's see what our oven is doing.
6:25
I like the thin ones.
6:27
So I'm gonna put this under my broiler
6:28
and just see if it works.
6:33
we go into our flame thrower (chuckles).
6:37
Well, we tried, didn't we?
6:39
You know, I'm one of those people, I don't ever give up.
6:41
I don't like to give up (chuckles).
6:46
But I just told Eddie and Theresa that I'm going to,
6:49
(laughs) I love roasting marshmallows.
6:55
Today I'm going to get,
7:00
I'm going to go get a little counter oven
7:12
because when you need a broiler,
7:13
ain't nothing else gonna work (laughs).
7:19
Ain't nothing else gonna work but a broiler.
7:25
We toasted that one a little...
7:29
Feel like I'm burning out a birthday cake.
7:43
I love the toasty of the marshmallow.
7:47
And I love the way the cookie cracked.
7:56
just gave it a lot of interest to me.
8:00
All right, and you know what? I like my marshmallow...
8:05
No, I'm not gonna let you shoot that
8:07
with it in my hand. - You don't want me to?
8:08
- No, not in my hand.
8:10
Not if I'm holding it. (Theresa speaks indistinctly)
8:16
I like mine really melty.
8:18
- And I'm gonna try it. - And soft.
8:24
You can finish the rest of 'em while I do this.
8:27
- [Theresa] While you got gnaw on that.
8:33
- That's why I like the marshmallows.
8:36
See? See this, sister?
8:38
- I see you. - No, you don't see it.
8:40
- I see it. Oh, yeah. - See how it's gooey?
8:42
I knew she didn't see it.
8:52
My grandchildren love marshmallows.
9:04
This is the finale, y'all, of the cookies.
9:08
And I think we got a home run.
9:11
All we need is a broiler (chuckles).
