- Guess what time it is, kiddies?
0:08
It's time for Halloween.
0:10
And Aunt Paula is here to show y'all some tricks
0:15
and some treats.
0:17
No tricks, no tricks.
0:19
Just treats, isn't that right, isn't that right,
0:24
Sam Skeleton? (laughs)
0:28
I'm gonna put him back where Eddie had him,
0:32
just cooking right there in the fireplace.
0:36
I think we've cooked all the meat off his bones,
0:38
don't you, Eddie?
0:39
- Picked it all off. - And we have cooked it
0:42
all off.
0:43
Oh, and the fire feels so good
0:46
and the witch has got her witches brew
0:49
brewing in the cast iron skillet.
0:53
And it's just looking spooky around here.
0:57
So I'm gonna slide on over here
1:00
and I'm gonna watch out for goblins,
1:05
'cause I've been a good girl, a big girl
1:08
and I don't want the goblins to get me.
1:10
I just want treats today, not tricks.
1:14
So the first thing we gonna start making today, kids,
1:17
is pumpkin spice cookies.
1:21
And they are so easy to make and yet so good.
1:25
And these are gonna have a frosting on it.
1:28
And there's nothing better than a cookie with frosting.
1:33
It's like two in one treats.
1:36
So we are gonna start by beating the butter.
1:41
And I've got two sticks of butter here.
1:47
And after we get our dough made,
1:49
it's gonna have to sit in the refrigerator
1:51
for about an hour because we are gonna roll this out
1:56
and we are gonna use our cookie cutters.
2:00
Let's see, there they are over there.
2:01
We're gonna use our cookie cutters
2:03
to make our cookies in the shape of pumpkins.
2:10
All right, so we're gonna mix our sugar
2:14
and our butter together until it's completely, uh oh.
2:21
You know what?
2:22
My mama told me that it always works better
2:25
if you plug this in.
2:27
(laughs)
2:29
Thank you, mama.
2:32
Thank you mama.
2:36
Okay, so this should take maybe a couple of minutes.
2:42
So we got that nice and creamy.
2:46
So the next thing we're gonna do is add our eggs
2:49
one at the time.
2:51
And we've got two eggs.
2:56
Come on now egg.
2:57
There you go. (laughs)
3:03
So while we're making these cookies,
3:06
I would like for y'all to think about
3:08
your favorite Halloween memory,
3:13
your all time favorite one,
3:15
whether you're a wee little child or a great big grown up.
3:19
Tell me, and if you would send me the story
3:23
of your favorite Halloween memory.
3:26
Can y'all do that?
3:30
Okay, egg number two.
3:37
And we're just gonna beat this until it's creamy.
3:46
And then we're going to give it one more twirl
3:50
with our spatula to get that all down from the sides
3:54
so that it's well incorporated.
3:57
And now we're gonna add a rum flavoring.
4:03
And let's see, how much is that?
4:06
A half a teaspoon of rum and a tablespoon of vanilla.
4:11
So there's our vanilla.
4:14
And let's see,
4:18
somehow all my little teaspoons have gotten away
4:21
so I'm gonna use my tablespoon to judge that.
4:29
Oh, there was my teaspoon. - I was like there they are.
4:31
(laughs)
4:32
- It's so good when you can see.
4:37
And one tablespoon of vanilla extract.
4:44
And this is that good extract.
4:49
And you can find these in our stores
4:52
in our Paula Deen Family Kitchen restaurants.
4:56
And I think the Lady and Sons, don't we carry this at
4:59
the Lady and Sons, Eddie? - Oh yeah, definitely.
5:01
- It's the good stuff.
5:04
All right, so we're just gonna incorporate that.
5:10
Make sure, oh, that rum smells so good.
5:15
It's not that kind of rum that'll make you silly.
5:17
You know,
5:19
(laughs)
5:20
this rum won't affect your thinking.
5:22
All right, so I'm gonna come over here and let's see.
5:26
I think that's a, yep, that's my powdered sugar.
5:31
All this is for our icing.
5:33
All right, so I'm gonna add a little salt.
5:37
Two teaspoons of baking powder.
5:44
And I think it's like one tablespoon, one tablespoon plus.
5:58
Anyway, let's see how much is supposed to go in the icing,
6:04
'cause I wanna make sure this is right.
6:09
Whisk together cream cheese, half cup butter
6:11
and one tablespoon of pumpkin spice.
6:14
So the most pumpkin spice does go in our icing,
6:18
not our cookie.
6:20
So we're gonna mix this together
6:25
and we're gonna slowly add this
6:29
to our egg and butter mixture.
6:33
And that's when we're gonna put it in the refrigerator
6:36
and let it get hard, or at least firm so we can roll it out
6:42
without it coming apart when we go to do the cookie cutouts.
6:52
Okay.
6:56
There we go.
6:57
Like a half a cup at the time.
7:05
And we'll need to keep our spatula handy
7:09
so we can make sure all of our ingredients
7:15
gets mixed in well.
7:24
And after every couple of additions,
7:28
we're gonna take our spatula and we're gonna rub
7:32
all those ingredients down
7:36
and make sure they all get mixed up.
7:39
Okay, so I'm gonna get some wax paper
7:41
or parchment paper to wrap our dough up in.
7:49
And we'll start the hour
7:54
with the refrigeration part.
7:56
Now let's see, what do we want to use?
8:01
Let's use wax paper.
8:09
I love wax paper, I couldn't do without it.
8:11
That and parchment paper.
8:18
Plop.
8:19
(laughs)
8:21
Plop, plop, fizz, fizz.
8:31
See that dough is still real soft.
8:36
What you doing, Theresa?
8:37
- I'm cleaning your mess. - Okay, thank you.
8:41
Everybody should be so lucky to have a
8:45
Theresa and Eddie to help me keep my mess clean.
8:50
- I take it you didn't like all the pumpkin spice?
8:52
- No, that goes in.
8:54
A tablespoon goes into icing. - Oh, awesome.
8:57
I'm glad you read the directions.
8:58
(laughs)
9:00
- Let's see. (laughs)
9:06
- [Theresa] Why don't you add it to the icing too.
9:08
- It's pretty good.
9:09
The cookie is not all that sweet.
9:12
- [Theresa] I like that.
9:13
- But what's gonna make it sweet is this.
9:20
There's three cups of powdered sugar
9:23
and an eight ounce package of cream cheese
9:25
and a stick of butter.
9:26
So make sure this is out all at room temperature
9:31
so you can beat it nice and easy, look at that.
9:35
That feels like two pounds of cookie dough.
9:38
All right, while our dough is chilling in the refrigerator
9:42
for our pumpkin frosted cookies,
9:46
I'm gonna go ahead and make the icing
9:48
but I tell y'all what I think I'm gonna have to,
9:51
I'm gonna have to move to a smaller frame.
9:55
That frame is so big with my hat on.
9:59
All right, so you wanna make sure that your cream cheese
10:03
and your butter is at room temperature.
10:05
And you can see how nice and soft this is.
10:10
So Eddie, this little tool right here is wonderful.
10:14
And Michael and I have been using it
10:16
for our mayonnaise on a sandwich.
10:19
And it worked so beautiful.
10:21
And I was just asking Eddie, I said,
10:23
where did this come from?
10:24
It just appeared in my kitchen one day.
10:27
And Eddie remembered about this precious woman,
10:34
Joelle Mertzel, she is the inventor of Butterie.
10:39
"Please join me in my mission to spread the word
10:44
"that butter does not require refrigeration".
10:46
I've said it so many times, Joelle,
10:50
so thank you, thank you, thank you.
10:54
I'm gonna read this book to my grandchildren
10:57
'cause every 11 of them love butter.
11:01
They wouldn't be mine if they didn't love butter.
11:05
But look at this cute little card, a gift for you.
11:11
So it said, hey, Eddie and Paula
11:12
here's another fun box of goodies for butter.
11:16
What do you think?
11:17
If you ever need a comrade in arms to talk butter, call me.
11:22
I'm your gal and probably the only person
11:24
who's written a book about butter storage.
11:28
- [Eddie] And that's the picture of it.
11:29
- Hugs and kisses.
11:31
Yes, that's the picture. - Well on the front.
11:35
- Oh yeah, there it is, big time.
11:39
And it comes with a knife, you know, to store it.
11:41
Cute little container.
11:43
So thank you so, so much, Joelle.
11:51
I love this thing right here.
11:54
So I'm glad because I didn't realize
11:57
that that came from her, it was a gift from her.
11:59
So I love hearing from y'all and hearing your ideas
12:04
and just everything that y'all are doing.
12:09
All right, so we gonna move on up for our frosting,
12:13
for our Halloween cookies.
12:18
And I'm gonna beat up our cream cheese and butter.
12:25
And now I'm fixing to add one tablespoon
12:27
of the pumpkin pie spice.
12:34
Yeah that's almost a tablespoon.
12:37
I think it's close enough.
12:41
So this is just gonna take a couple of minutes.
12:46
Now I'm gonna add our powdered sugar,
12:51
you know kind of in small amounts,
12:52
so I won't cover myself with it.
13:01
This is gonna be so good.
13:04
And I love a cookie, a frosted cookie.
13:07
There's nothing any better.
13:08
It's like half cake, half cookie.
13:12
Perfect.
13:15
Perfect dough.
13:16
- [Theresa] Now we'll just need the cookies,
13:17
so you can cook 'em, - Yes.
13:19
- [Theresa] we can ice them.
13:20
- Now we gotta make the cookies.
13:22
All right now I'm not gonna attempt
13:24
to roll out all that dough at one time, y'all.
13:30
And you know, for years I've got a tablecloth,
13:35
and I swear I think it was my mother's,
13:38
maybe it's mine from before the war, I don't know.
13:43
But I've always liked to roll my dough out on that.
13:46
But having this soap stone, you know, it's kind of like
13:53
what is that stuff that you use for peanut brittle?
13:59
What kind of slab is that?
14:00
- It's like marble. - Marble, yes, marble.
14:04
You know, this kind of reminds me of that.
14:07
Now we're gonna roll this dough out
14:09
to a quarter of an inch thick.
14:13
- [Theresa] Will that dough freeze well?
14:15
- Yes, yes, yes. - (indistinct).
14:17
- Yes, yes.
14:21
Which is perfect.
14:22
You could make all this up ahead of time
14:25
and you wouldn't have to waste all your time.
14:30
Now y'all tell me when it looks
14:32
like a fourth of an inch thick,
14:34
'cause you know, I lost my distance in this eye.
14:38
- [Eddie] It's pretty thick on this side.
14:39
- Yeah, it's still thick. - Okay, on this side?
14:42
- This side. - This side?
14:44
This side? - Yes,
14:45
all of it is what we're.
14:47
- [Paula] All right, how about this side?
14:48
- [Theresa] Keep coming, no come closer to Eddie.
14:51
- Closer to Eddie. - Yeah.
14:53
Like all of this right there.
14:58
Think that's pretty good, Eddie?
14:58
- All right, let's go this a-way.
15:00
- [Theresa] If you got too much,
15:00
it's gonna start falling apart.
15:02
- Yeah, it's gonna start spreading.
15:04
All right.
15:07
Thank y'all, thank you very much, thank you very much.
15:10
(laughs)
15:12
Okay I got this thin over here, y'all.
15:15
I got that real thin.
15:17
All right, so now when you go to cutting out your cookies,
15:23
you wanna make sure that you
15:26
are as wise with your dough as you can be.
15:32
That's not bad, is it, y'all? - No, it's good.
15:35
- That's the thick end. (laughs)
15:39
Now what I don't use, I'll roll back up.
15:46
Put it in the refrigerator, let it harden up again.
15:52
See, you just don't wanna waste any more of your dough
15:57
than you can possibly help.
15:59
All right we're gonna bake these about 10 minutes, probably,
16:06
I think. - Yeah,
16:07
350 for eight to 10 minutes.
16:08
- Okay and I'm gonna put our dough back in the refrigerator,
16:11
'cause that's very, very, very, very, very important
16:14
that that stays chilled.
16:16
Almost to the fun part.
16:19
And you know what part I'm talking about, don't you?
16:23
The eating part.
16:29
Now we frosting them with our spice, our pumpkin pie spice.
16:43
Ooh and they look delicious.
16:46
And let's get a little frosting on that stem.
16:55
And now,
17:03
let's see.
17:06
Yeah.
17:09
Now we, oh no. (laughs)
17:14
Now we're gonna sprinkle him orange
17:25
and we're gonna sprinkle his stem,
17:31
oops, black with licorice.
17:46
How's that kiddies?
17:52
I like it, I like it a lot.
17:57
- Olivia would love it. - Olivia would adore this.
18:09
Let me see your pictures. (laughs)
18:12
Oh, you know what we could do?
18:17
We could even give our pumpkins eyes.
18:28
Uh oh, he looks kind of cross eyed, doesn't he?
18:31
(laughs)
18:33
Get that eye back over there, pumpkin,
18:35
now that looks better.
18:38
Look, Theresa.
18:39
It's so cute.
18:41
- [Theresa] Aw, that's adorable.
18:43
- Isn't that adorable? (laughs)
18:47
Happy Halloween!
18:49
We just need to figure out how to give him
18:51
a pretty little mouth.
18:55
- [Theresa] I'm not ever trying that again.
18:56
- We need some licorice,
18:58
some red licorice. - Oh, that is what we need.
19:02
- Let me see, y'alls.
19:04
Happy Halloween!
