- We got girl power.
0:02
We got the girl power in this room
0:04
this morning, don't we, Charity?
0:06
- We do.
0:07
- Look at all the girls.
0:08
Look at all the girls.
0:13
And they all know what they're doing,
0:17
and they're good at it.
0:18
Which, that's the kind of women
0:20
I like to surround myself with.
0:22
You know, they say hire people around you,
0:26
that's smarter than you.
0:28
And that's the truth.
0:30
'Cause you need that kind of help.
0:33
Well, today, y'all,
0:36
if you've ever been in the Paula Deen store,
0:39
you might recognize this lady.
0:42
This is Charity.
0:43
She is the assistant manager
0:45
to that pretty girl sitting right there
0:51
with the long, dark hair.
0:53
So they make a great team.
0:55
They tend to that store.
0:57
And in a previous video,
0:59
two of the ladies that work in the store
1:02
were here and we had the best time making those cookies.
1:06
And I have a book signing once a month
1:10
down at The Lady and Sons,
1:12
and I can always look forward to Charity
1:16
bringing something in good to eat
1:18
while I'm doing the book signing.
1:20
- Keep it in.
1:21
- Yeah, she is a good cook.
1:23
And she walked in today with me.
1:27
Look at this gift.
1:28
A smoked chicken pot pie.
1:31
Preheat oven to 415,
1:33
reduced temperature to 350.
1:36
- [Camera Operator] With some homemade apple butter.
1:39
- Yes.
1:40
- [Camera Operator] And homemade bread.
1:42
- And homemade bread.
1:43
Aunt Peggy, Charity had made a loaf of bread
1:47
when Aunt Peggy was here, and she loved it.
1:52
And I loved it too.
1:53
It was so good.
1:54
So anything you wanna say to our friends out there?
1:58
- Hey y'all, glad to be here.
2:00
(both laugh)
2:02
- I'm glad you're here too because I'm gonna stand back
2:06
and let you take over.
2:08
I'll be your sous person.
2:10
You can order me around
2:12
and I will do your bidding for you.
2:16
- Okay. - Okay?
2:17
- [Charity] That works for me.
2:18
- [Paula] Get going girl.
2:19
- [Charity] Okay, we are doing a white chocolate
2:22
oatmeal cherry cookie.
2:23
- [Paula] Sounds good to me.
2:24
- It's a very versatile recipe, but you can change it up.
2:29
You can do cherry, you can do cranberries,
2:31
you can do white chocolate, dark chocolate.
2:33
It's a very good base.
2:34
But we're going Christmas-y,
2:36
so we're doing white chocolate and cherry.
2:38
- That sounds so good.
2:39
- So first thing we're gonna do is we need some hot water.
2:43
- Okay, I can go in here.
2:45
- You need a cup.
2:46
- You want hot, hot?
2:47
- Hot, hot.
2:48
- How much do you want?
2:49
- One cup.
2:50
- [Paula] Okay.
2:51
- But you might wanna grab me a two cupper
2:53
so the cranberries will fit in it.
2:56
- [Paula] Oh, okay.
3:00
Okay, then I'll back. - Back up.
3:01
- [Paula] Is there a two cupper in there?
3:06
- [Charity] Right there.
3:09
- That's a two cupper.
3:11
- We just need one cup of hot water.
3:12
- [Paula] Okie doke, I got you coming.
3:14
- So while she's getting the hot water,
3:16
the first thing we're gonna do
3:17
is we're gonna go ahead and get the butter going.
3:19
We have some softened butter
3:21
that we're gonna beat up in here.
3:22
(wrapper crinkles)
3:32
It's good and soft.
3:34
I like that.
3:36
- I love getting my hot water out of our water machine.
3:40
You know, it has both hot and cold.
3:43
So that's one cup of hot, hot water.
3:46
- You're gonna take the dried cherries
3:48
and we're going to submerge into that boiling water.
3:52
- Yes, while I'm softening?
3:53
- Yes, ma'am.
3:54
That's gonna sit there until we need 'em.
3:56
- [Paula] Okay, looks like prune juice,
3:59
doesn't it? - [Charity] I know.
4:00
(Paula laughs)
4:01
We're gonna revive them, that's what we're gonna do.
4:03
- [Paula] Okie doke.
4:04
- [Charity] So in the meantime we're gonna need
4:05
to beat this butter.
4:07
- Uh-huh.
4:09
- It's nice and soft.
4:10
- You're a little taller than me, Charity.
4:12
Is that too high for you? - No it's perfect.
4:14
- If it is, you can always move it down.
4:16
- It's all good.
4:19
Okay, this is nice and soft.
4:22
And now we're going to add our two cups of brown sugar.
4:26
- [Paula] Okay, there you go.
4:28
- [Charity] Yes ma'am.
4:29
- [Paula] So this is all brown sugar, no white.
4:30
- [Charity] No white, mm-mm.
4:32
No white, no white.
4:33
- [Paula] I'll take your dishes and I'll wash them up.
4:35
- [Charity] Hey, that's a service.
4:37
I don't get that at home.
4:39
Now we're gonna add our eggs.
4:40
- [Paula] Okay.
4:43
- [Charity] Yes. - [Paula] Put 'em in?
4:45
- [Charity] Put 'em in there.
4:48
Okay.
4:50
- We have made y'all, this is number 10.
4:55
This is the 10th.
5:00
Christmas cookie, this is the 10th of the 12 days
5:04
of Christmas cookies, y'all.
5:08
Okay? - [Charity] Number two.
5:10
And we need a little, we need two teaspoons of vanilla.
5:14
- [Paula] Okay how about a tablespoon?
5:18
I'll use a tablespoon just in case I run over.
5:21
- [Charity] Okay.
5:22
- All right, 'cause that's one and that's two.
5:26
- [Charity] That works.
5:27
- [Paula] And that's the technique.
5:28
(Paula laughs)
5:28
And here you've got your plain flour, right?
5:31
- [Charity] Yes ma'am.
5:31
We got some all purpose.
5:33
- [Paula] Uh-huh, and we're gonna add baking powder?
5:36
- [Charity] Mhm.
5:37
- [Paula] Baking soda.
5:40
Soda wants to speak to the baking.
5:42
- [Charity] And kosher salt.
5:43
- [Paula] And kosher salt.
5:46
And let's see, let me get a whisk out.
5:50
And I'll get this ready for you.
5:53
- [Charity] Thank you, thank you.
5:54
- [Paula] You are welcome.
5:56
And I'm assuming we've gone stir
5:58
in the chocolate chips, the raisins.
6:01
- [Charity] Yeah those. - [Paula] The cherries.
6:01
- [Charity] And you're gonna stir
6:03
and we're gonna whisk in our oatmeal
6:04
with our dry ingredients.
6:06
- [Paula] Oh okay good.
6:07
Okay, there you go. - [Charity] All right.
6:12
Makes it easy to incorporate.
6:13
- [Paula] So I'm going to put you on the spot, Charity.
6:17
- [Charity] Okay.
6:18
- What is the most interesting or the funniest
6:22
or the saddest, whatever, what's your best story
6:26
that you have from the restaurant, working in the store?
6:30
- I'm gonna honestly tell you
6:32
probably how I came to the store.
6:35
- Okay. - That was the best.
6:37
Okay, well I moved here from Indiana,
6:41
originally from Florida, but I moved here from Indiana
6:43
and I worked in the food business for over eight years.
6:47
Worked, we did catering, we did everything.
6:50
We had a storefront, we did all kinds of festivals.
6:54
Just good things.
6:55
But anyway, so I moved here
6:56
and the joke was, you're gonna go work for Paula Deen.
6:58
And I'm like, in my dreams.
6:59
Yeah right?
7:00
So I get here and my daughter takes me downtown
7:05
and we're gonna go into your store
7:06
for the first time.
7:07
I walk in and who's greeting me?
7:08
Jamie Deen.
7:09
And of course I walked through and he's like, hey y'all.
7:13
And I'm like, oh my god, oh my god.
7:15
I mean, hello, it's Jamie Deen.
7:16
So you know, you lose your mind, you know?
7:19
Oh my goodness.
7:20
And so I'm going, I'm like, hi.
7:21
And I'm like, oh my god.
7:22
And of course my daughter's like,
7:23
mom, you're so embarrassing.
7:24
And so what he's looking, keep walking.
7:26
And I'm going, that is Jamie Deen.
7:29
And she goes, oh.
7:32
Well anyway, so he was real nice,
7:34
talked to us, gave us his autograph, and so on.
7:36
So we go home, and I was looking for a job.
7:38
And then, so it was a couple days later,
7:42
my daughter comes downstairs.
7:43
Mom, mom, mom, they're hiring.
7:44
You need to apply.
7:45
So I applied.
7:46
Within a week or two, I hear back, I get the job.
7:50
Two weeks later, I get to meet Paula Deen.
7:53
So no way.
7:55
- How was she?
7:56
- She's hilarious.
7:58
You should really meet her.
7:59
But anyway, so I got to meet you.
8:01
So on that day, Jamie's like looking at me
8:05
and we also had a friend of hers
8:07
that forgot her name when she was talking to him.
8:08
So that was a whole thing too.
8:10
It was literally she forgot her name.
8:11
But anyway, so he told that story,
8:14
he thinks, thought it was so funny.
8:15
So we kind of told you the whole thing.
8:16
And so you helped me make the announcement of my new job.
8:20
You made the, you took a picture with me,
8:22
and I announced it to my old boss and everybody in Indiana.
8:26
My new boss was Paula Deen,
8:27
so that's probably my funniest story so.
8:29
And here it's five and a half years later and here I am so.
8:33
- I know it.
8:34
You know, I just love all you girls
8:36
in the store. - We have a good time.
8:37
We do.
8:38
- We don't have a man in there.
8:40
- We don't. - Anymore, Jack.
8:42
- Yeah. - Jack loved
8:43
working at the store.
8:44
- Jack and Maddie, they're great when they come.
8:46
They're really good workers. - Yes, yes.
8:48
- Yes, they're really good workers.
8:50
- Yes and Jack and Maddie is Jamie's two oldest sons, y'all.
8:53
And, but Jack has to concentrate on his studies now.
8:58
And you know, he's applying to all these colleges.
9:02
- I'm excited for him.
9:03
He's gonna be great. - Me too.
9:04
- Okay, we gonna blend in our dry with our wet.
9:07
- You want this? - [Charity] Go in there.
9:08
- A little at a time or?
9:10
- [Charity] Probably should so you and I
9:12
don't wear any flour.
9:13
- [Paula] I know.
9:14
- [Charity] I'm not at home
9:15
so I don't want to do that to us.
9:16
- Yeah, I'm getting something out to drain your cherries.
9:20
- [Charity] Yes ma'am.
9:21
- Aren't you want this in your baking?
9:22
Is that good enough?
9:23
- Perfect.
9:24
And then I'll watch you put, and then I'll mix it up.
9:27
- Okay and I'm thrilled.
9:28
This is the first cookie of the season
9:32
I think that we made some white chocolate.
9:35
- Oh, awesome, I love white chocolate.
9:36
- And I love white chocolate.
9:39
- Me too.
9:40
- All right, Charity.
9:41
- Yes ma'am.
9:42
- I always like to spray this.
9:45
- Yes ma'am.
9:46
- Do you do that? - I do, yes.
9:47
Especially on cookie dough.
9:50
- Yes.
9:50
- [Charity] It's all sticky.
9:51
- Yes, and it'll just come out better.
9:54
And you know, I tell everybody,
9:56
and of course you know this,
9:57
that it's real important when you're making cookies
10:00
that you make them all the same size.
10:05
Otherwise, they're gonna cook differently.
10:08
- [Charity] They will cook differently.
10:09
- So make sure you pick the size
10:14
that you want it to be and stick with that.
10:17
- [Charity] Yes ma'am.
10:18
- Okay hun, what are we gonna,
10:21
what are we gonna bake this at?
10:23
- 350.
10:24
- Okay, for how long?
10:24
- For 13 to 14 minutes.
10:26
- The thing about Charity is she comes, she comes prepared.
10:31
So not only did she bring us a smoked chicken pot pie
10:37
for our dinner tonight,
10:39
she brought these cookies, right?
10:44
- Yes.
10:45
- Already baked. - Already baked.
10:46
- So. - [Charity] You have dessert.
10:47
- She, wonderful.
10:50
- [Camera Operator] Are these, these are these cookies?
10:51
- [Charity] Yes ma'am.
10:52
Yes, sir, it is.
10:53
- [Paula] So these are these.
10:54
- [Camera Operator] Just different.
10:55
- [Paula] And she wanted to show everybody different ways
10:58
they could dress the cookie.
11:01
So that's drizzled with just.
11:03
- [Charity] White chocolate.
11:04
- [Paula] Oh that is just white chocolate.
11:06
- [Charity] It's just white chocolate.
11:07
You know, that Ghirardelli?
11:08
- [Paula] And that's white chocolate also.
11:09
- [Charity] And then sprinkles.
11:10
- [Paula] So they're all white chocolate.
11:12
And so they get hard and they don't stick.
11:14
I like that.
11:15
Then we can taste these
11:17
or we can taste those that are warm on the oven.
11:20
- Warm.
11:21
Warm.
11:22
- Warm.
11:23
Warm.
11:25
- You're getting warm.
11:26
- Fast.
11:27
- A little something.
11:28
- I like them (indistinct).
11:30
So all those nuts and cherries right there?
11:34
That's gonna be my favorite bite.
11:36
- I like it all.
11:38

11:43
