WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:00.840 Hey, y'all 00:00.840 --> 00:06.600 Today it's about sweet somethings. First, I'm going to be starting with a scrumptious Arnold 00:06.600 --> 00:14.519 Palmer cupcake. And then it's mouthwatering cookie dough truffles. And then next, the owners of my favorite cookie shop here 00:14.519 --> 00:20.920 in Savannah, y'all, stop by to make the greatest oatmeal scotchy cookie you've ever seen 00:20.920 --> 00:27.519 And I just couldn't let them leave, y'all, before showing me how to decorate their signature sugar cookies 00:27.519 --> 00:39.520 Try not to lick it now. Uh-huh. Well, I'm going to kick everything off today by making an Arnold Palmer cupcake 00:40.060 --> 00:44.820 Now, if you came into our restaurant and said, I would like an Arnold Palmer, please 00:44.980 --> 00:51.920 our waitress would bring you a half a glass of lemonade and a half a glass of sweet tea 00:52.460 --> 00:58.800 Apparently, that's his favorite drink. And this recipe is an Arnold Palmer cupcake 00:58.800 --> 01:07.720 So I've got two sticks of unsalted butter that I'm going to start with, and I'm going to add two cups of sugar 01:12.700 --> 01:24.299 Now I'm just going to cream this together. And then I have four eggs up here on the counter that I'm going to add after I cream our butter and our sugar 01:24.299 --> 01:34.159 And I'm going to add them one at a time, giving it a chance to incorporate into our butter and sugar mixture 01:38.819 --> 01:48.299 Look at that beautiful color. All right, now our liquid is going to be our tea 01:48.920 --> 01:55.759 Now, I have taken five regular-sized teabags, and I have steeped it with a cup of milk 01:56.259 --> 02:03.959 You just heat up your milk, drop in your teabags, and let it steep for about 15 or 20 minutes 02:04.799 --> 02:14.519 So, here's the tea part to our Arnold Palmer cupcakes. In that goes 02:15.239 --> 02:23.700 All right, now we've got to come in there with the lemon. Now I'm just gonna grate probably about a half a teaspoon of lemon zest 02:26.100 --> 02:32.640 That looks about right. Now I'm gonna add one teaspoon of lemon juice 02:33.760 --> 02:43.480 And I'm just gonna eyeball that. That's about a teaspoon. All right, now we're just gonna come back in here and mix all those ingredients in 02:45.260 --> 02:54.480 There we go. I just adore cupcakes. My mother used to make them when I was a little girl 02:54.900 --> 03:00.780 To me, you just can't beat a cupcake. All right, now we've got to get together our dry ingredients 03:00.780 --> 03:09.460 that we need to add to our wet ingredients. And I'm going to need 2 1⁄2 cups of all-purpose flour 03:11.040 --> 03:24.960 You have to be precise because bacon is a formula. 3 fourths of a tablespoon of baking powder and that's gonna make our 03:24.960 --> 03:34.500 cupcakes get fat and pretty and now 3 fourths of a teaspoon of salt and then 03:34.500 --> 03:42.760 we're just gonna add them to our wet ingredients in the bowl that goes and 03:42.760 --> 03:51.120 And then I'm going to take our little mixer and mix up those dry ingredients into our wet ingredients 03:52.680 --> 03:56.420 All right, now I'm going to turn that up and just whip that on out 03:59.379 --> 04:09.239 All right, there we go. That was simple enough. All right, I want to load up our muffin tins 04:09.239 --> 04:13.620 I'm lining mine with paper because it works out better for a cupcake 04:14.239 --> 04:19.919 And I'm just going to put one peeping scoop into the muffin tins 04:20.360 --> 04:26.880 And I'm using a medium-sized scooper. My oven has been preheated to 350 degrees 04:27.419 --> 04:34.039 and we're going to bake these for about 20 to 22 minutes. So, in they go 04:34.400 --> 04:38.780 Let's make our frosting that's going to go in our Arnold Palmer cupcakes 04:39.699 --> 04:49.360 Now I've got two sticks of butter that's at room temperature. I've got a half a cup of our milk and tea mixture that I made earlier 04:49.699 --> 04:58.639 I'm going to cream our butter, soften it up, and then I'm going to add two cups of confectionate sugar 05:04.120 --> 05:20.870 There we go. This is gonna be a real rich buttery frosting Now I gonna start adding our liquid That looks like hot 05:20.870 --> 05:26.070 chocolate doesn't it or chocolate milk. Boy would the kids be surprised if they 05:26.070 --> 05:30.470 picked that up and started guzzling it thinking it was chocolate milk. They'd be 05:30.470 --> 05:44.950 real surprised all right I think that's about right all right we've got our tea milk milk tea in 05:44.950 --> 05:57.410 there and now I'm gonna add about a teaspoon of lemon juice there we go I'm 05:57.410 --> 06:03.590 I'm going to keep beating this until it's nice and creamy. And when we come back, we're going to frost those cupcakes 06:04.190 --> 06:10.250 Because today it's about sweet something. Coming up, it's cookie dough truffles 06:10.650 --> 06:15.910 Cookie dough lover in your house is going to be so very happy 06:15.910 --> 06:22.650 And later, those two smart cookies are stopping by to make a giant oatmeal scotchy cookie 06:22.810 --> 06:30.190 Oh, that looks so good. And later, they're letting me help decorate their famous sugar cookies 06:30.550 --> 06:41.190 Oh, look, he just comes to life. I got our cupcakes out of the oven, Arnold Palmer cupcakes 06:41.690 --> 06:46.990 and I was just trying to jump ahead and get some nuts chopped up for our next dish 06:47.230 --> 06:52.970 But since y'all are back, let's come on over here and finish up these cupcakes 06:52.970 --> 07:12.790 Now, I'm just going to put a little thin layer, and then I'm going to fill our pastry bag with our icing and just cover our Arnold Palmers with little stars 07:12.790 --> 07:23.070 Aren't those pretty? And we can stick a straw in it because an Arnold Palmer 07:23.550 --> 07:28.230 you would actually have a straw because you're drinking it. Isn't that cute 07:28.870 --> 07:35.270 And not only is it cute, it's so very tasty. Well, come on down here 07:35.270 --> 07:42.070 because I want to get this next recipe going. And this is a no-cook cookie dough 07:42.070 --> 07:50.130 truffle. And we're going to start with three quarters of a cup of packed brown sugar 07:50.510 --> 08:02.190 Pack that in there good. And another fourth. One stick of butter that's at room 08:02.190 --> 08:14.130 temperature and just cream that together. I know some girls that say by the time they get through tasting the dough 08:14.250 --> 08:19.570 there's none left to bake cookies. Some people just love cookie dough 08:19.890 --> 08:28.070 So that's what these truffles are going to taste like. Okay, now I'm going to measure out two cups of flour 08:34.890 --> 08:47.970 One teaspoon of vanilla extract. All right, we're going to add one can of sweetened condensed milk 08:55.070 --> 09:01.830 Got that mixed together. Now, when y'all popped back in on me, I was chopping nuts 09:01.930 --> 09:08.250 I'm going to need about a cup of chopped pecans. You can use the nut of your choice 09:10.290 --> 09:19.390 So bear with me while I get my nuts cut. There we go 09:19.490 --> 09:29.750 That looks about like a cup. Now I'm going to add a half a cup of little mini semi-sweet chocolate morsels 09:36.050 --> 09:43.050 So we're just going to mix that up. And that looks like some mighty fine cookie dough, doesn't it 09:45.710 --> 09:52.290 And then we're going to start rolling our truffles. Now you'll want to take your hands and dip them down in some flour 09:52.290 --> 10:00.570 because this cookie dough is going to be a little sticky. So you just want to roll them into balls about the size of a walnut 10:02.030 --> 10:13.050 Just like that. You don't want to keep your hands rolled in that flour 10:13.830 --> 10:22.910 Otherwise, you're going to have a sticky mess. So, I'm going to roll these out, stick these in the refrigerator 10:23.430 --> 10:45.580 and let them set for about two hours Now I got some down here that I had in the refrigerator chilling for us So here our cookie dough after it set up Now back here behind me on the stove 10:45.940 --> 10:55.900 I've got some milk chocolate that I melted over hot water. And we're just going to take our balls 10:56.340 --> 11:06.480 And we're just going to run them around in that chocolate and lift them out just like that 11:06.840 --> 11:21.080 Doesn't that look good? Mm-mm-mm. The cookie dough lover in your house is going to be so very happy 11:21.080 --> 11:25.220 and then we're going to let those set up in the refrigerator 11:25.220 --> 11:30.180 and let that chocolate harden on them, and they're going to be so good 11:30.580 --> 11:35.620 But you know what? I got this cupcake sitting over here, and Arnold's saying 11:36.240 --> 11:48.420 Paula, Paula. Mmm, mmm. Mmm 11:48.420 --> 12:01.780 Mmm. That is so good, y'all. You can taste that lemon. Great. Time of day, that's good 12:02.540 --> 12:09.020 Coming up, my girlfriends Amanda and Annette stop by to make the greatest oatmeal scotchy cookie 12:09.560 --> 12:15.120 My approval will be on this like white on rice. And later, they're letting me help decorate 12:15.120 --> 12:25.340 their famous sugar cookies. Well, y'all, I want you to look over here at this tier of cookies 12:25.880 --> 12:38.440 These cookies are the best in Savannah, Georgia. Two smart cookies. Well, I've got those two girls in the kitchen with me, y'all, that I want to introduce y'all to 12:38.800 --> 12:48.080 This is Amanda, and this is Annette. So, why don't you two smart cookies tell everybody what you're going to make today 12:48.420 --> 12:55.000 We're going to be making oatmeal scotchies. That's a big, huge cookie here in Savannah, y'all 12:55.220 --> 13:02.400 Got those pecans in them. Got those pecans, yes. We've got a cup of softened butter in our bowl 13:02.680 --> 13:08.360 We need to add a cup of pack brown sugar. Okay. Well, yeah, I'll measure that for you 13:08.500 --> 13:12.400 Okay. We're going to add it right to that butter. Okay, how's that 13:12.560 --> 13:16.120 Great. And then we're going to need a half a cup of granulated sugar 13:16.360 --> 13:21.020 Okay. I'm going to go ahead and put the dry ingredients together first 13:21.220 --> 13:25.920 I'm going to use a cup and a half of flour. And that's an all-purpose flour, right 13:26.020 --> 13:30.040 It is. All right. And your eggs. Eggs. Okay. A couple of eggs 13:30.380 --> 13:34.260 Two eggs. You going to start framing that? I guess I can 13:34.600 --> 13:40.880 Okie doke. Teaspoon of baking soda. One at a time or just toss 13:40.880 --> 13:47.400 You can just toss them in there. They'll be just fine. Don't y'all feel good, though, about your accomplishments 13:47.900 --> 13:51.500 We do. I mean, a little flour and butter and eggs. That's amazing 13:51.500 --> 13:56.320 Look what y'all have done. Who knew that people wanted cookies so badly, but they apparently do 13:56.520 --> 14:01.900 Oh, honey, listen. America will always buy a cookie. And we're going to need that teaspoon of vanilla 14:02.120 --> 14:07.460 Okay, I'm going to pour that in. And I'm going to put a half teaspoon of salt 14:08.940 --> 14:12.680 Coming together nicely. It smells pretty good, too, that butter, huh? Mmm 14:13.300 --> 14:17.500 I'm telling you what. All right, Amanda, you want to... I love me some butter 14:17.760 --> 14:23.120 Go ahead and dump that in there. This is great. Just on low speed or else you'll have a nice flower storm 14:23.280 --> 14:29.300 You ever done that before? I have done that a few times. We like to make that store real dusty 14:30.300 --> 14:35.680 Who came up with the name? Amanda did? Yeah, I did. Yeah, I spent some sleepless nights 14:36.640 --> 14:42.060 It just popped out one day. I thought the name was ingenious when I saw it 14:42.320 --> 14:46.320 Paula, you want to go ahead and get the rolled oats ready for me 14:46.320 --> 14:51.780 What kind of oats were you using in it? I like the long-looking old-fashioned 14:52.440 --> 14:57.760 It gives a lot more texture, a little bit more crunchiness. Okay. We got the two and a half cups 14:57.760 --> 15:01.600 Two and a half cups. Okay. Three quarters cups of the pecans 15:01.780 --> 15:09.140 Okay. And you can always add a few more. Mmm. And then we need a cup of the butterstarch chips 15:09.140 --> 15:18.620 Okay, good. Amanda, maybe you can get our pan. Oh, we're going to make one big cookie 15:18.620 --> 15:25.560 We're going to make a big old cookie. Okay. This is great 15:25.680 --> 15:29.680 Yep, pretty quick. I hate dipping up cookies, so this is... Okay 15:29.780 --> 15:35.680 I'm going to go ahead and spray the pan, too. Okay. All right, we'll just take our spatula 15:35.820 --> 15:41.540 You want to do one? Or a... Yeah, I'll do one. Okay. Oh, I've got to have a little taste 15:41.780 --> 15:53.390 Oh you mean I supposed to scrape it Scrape it not eat it We do like to taste things Absolutely That good dough 15:53.750 --> 15:58.910 And just jump it in your pan. Now, do y'all make these like this at the store 15:59.050 --> 16:08.950 We sure do. Put a message on it when it's finished. Okay, now we're going to stick it in the oven and bake it at 350 for about 20, 25 minutes 16:09.190 --> 16:16.590 Okay, though. Well, here we go. All right, here we go. Well, come on down here, girls 16:16.690 --> 16:23.650 because I want y'all to taste these truffles that I made earlier 16:24.470 --> 16:29.370 They look pretty good, don't they? They sure do. And cookie dough right up our alley 16:30.490 --> 16:37.390 I was going to say. Yes, y'all can really appreciate this. All right, now let's reach over here and y'all get you one 16:37.950 --> 16:44.670 And tell me what you think. Okay. I can't believe I'm making cookies for the two smart cookies 16:45.610 --> 16:52.410 Mm. Mm-hmm. Yum. Mm-hmm. Tastes like cookie dough, doesn't it? Sure does 16:52.590 --> 16:59.130 But with chocolate on the outside, it wouldn't be any better. Up next, us girls are going to cookie heaven 16:59.450 --> 17:10.890 Try not to lick it now. Uh-huh. Well, y'all, this is what I've been waiting for all day long 17:11.530 --> 17:22.410 This cookie. This cookie right here. These are the most wonderful. Can I stick these right here, girls 17:22.830 --> 17:28.770 Is it a sugar cookie? It's a sugar cookie. It's a nice sugar cookie. Now, out of everything that y'all do, this is my favorite 17:28.770 --> 17:34.170 because you taste them first with your eyes, and they're so beautiful. Look at the cute little frog 17:34.690 --> 17:41.510 All right, now show me everything that you do. Just icing with a little almond flavoring in it 17:41.510 --> 17:46.250 and we have just put it on. Y'all hand-decorate every one of those. Every single cookie 17:46.810 --> 17:50.410 Uh-uh. Yeah. I'm not good at this. Do I do the whole frog 17:50.490 --> 17:55.310 Mm-hmm, the whole frog, and then we have some eyeballs for him right there in the little dish 17:55.430 --> 18:02.070 Oh, I see that. Now is there anything special about this icing? Is it just.. 18:02.070 --> 18:06.850 I think it's the almond flavoring that people are so attracted to 18:06.950 --> 18:14.510 We've been accused of putting something in it that will be addictive, but we don't tell people what it is 18:14.830 --> 18:22.670 And this icing has to be fairly thin, doesn't it, you know? It does. So it will spread. It can't be like an icing on a cake 18:22.830 --> 18:30.910 Oh, no. I can't believe you. Try not to lick it now. Does everybody clean y'all's cookies by licking them 18:31.250 --> 18:36.550 We have children who come in and their parents buy them a cookie and they lick all the icing off first 18:37.130 --> 18:42.810 All right, now, just like right there. Oh, look, he just comes to life 18:43.110 --> 18:48.110 Now, where do you get things like this? Any place that sells cooking items 18:48.230 --> 18:51.930 They would carry things like this. Now, what else does this frog get 18:52.050 --> 18:55.590 He can get polka dots if you'd like, whatever you want. You know what 18:55.590 --> 18:59.350 It's up to you. I think some little, maybe some little green polka dots 18:59.770 --> 19:05.270 Look at that. Well, give him any color you want. We'll give him a yellow wart 19:06.690 --> 19:10.710 That's just like the cutest thing, and it's going to taste so good 19:11.490 --> 19:19.110 Speaking of cute, look at the swimsuit. Look at the little belt, and look at what Amanda's done with that palm tree 19:19.690 --> 19:26.610 How many people do y'all have doing this? Most days we have probably five or six people that are icing cookies 19:26.870 --> 19:30.850 Excited. How many of these do y'all produce a day? A hundred 19:31.290 --> 19:36.890 These are just adorable. All right, now what are we going to do to our cookie cake 19:36.890 --> 19:44.490 We're going to put a little message on it. Then I thought you could come back in with the green and just put some little stars around the side 19:44.490 --> 19:48.990 I'll try. All right, so what are you going to put on that? We're going to put a message on here 19:49.190 --> 19:55.750 Is that what y'all normally do? Mm-hmm, we do. Happy birthday, you know, congratulations, whatever 19:57.430 --> 20:02.070 Best. Did you guess? I think I know what this is going to say, girls 20:02.910 --> 20:12.250 Best dishes. So how do you get your colors that vibrant? Just keep adding the gel until we get it the right color 20:12.370 --> 20:17.790 And we like them bright. All right, it's all yours. All right, now what do you want me to do 20:18.270 --> 20:25.330 Just do some stars. Michael Groover will be on this like white on rice 20:25.850 --> 20:31.030 That looks so good. Yeah, and Annette, put some of those little sprinkles on there 20:31.030 --> 20:36.070 You want to spice it up a little bit? Oh, how pretty. Just put a few little sprinkles on there. So, what you say 20:36.310 --> 20:43.630 Shall we? Take a tip of this star. Looks like it could be pretty tasty 20:43.930 --> 20:54.450 Okay. There you go. Cheers. Cheers. To girls in business. We send y'all best dishes and love from our kitchens to yours 20:54.830 --> 20:57.510 Till next time, y'all. Mmm
