in from uh school sometimes when we didn't have a lot of snack mama just say fix your peanut butter spoon and i don't know if y'all ever even heard of that but here's what you do you get your big glob of peanut butter and he fixed your spoon and you went outside and you just kind of take it real slow to make it last but anyway that's what we did is we fixed us a peanut butter spoon if y'all have y'all done that is this a lost art have you ever done that with your children at home it's just pure protein and so uh anyway you might want to try this with your children i'm gonna put this in this bowl and eat it later i'm gonna have me a peanut butter spoon i had a um uncle my uncle pickens as well is george's uncle but i he's my uncle too since i married george but anyway um he what he had what was called um a sinking feeling have y'all ever had that well i have i had one one time when i was on a yard sale and i just all of a sudden my eyes went crazy and um i just felt weak and all like that well peanut butter is what i keep in my car and he kept it in his he taught me how to do that you know that little pocket behind your seat in a car little thing he kept a knife some peanut butter and a few crackers and when he had a sinking feeling he would reach back there and get that and eat some peanut butter and then he was better i don't know if it's your sugar level or what i don't really know why we have those but i have them occasionally but today i'm not gonna have a sinking feeling because i fixed to make peanut butter cookies all right got my stuff out we're gonna take a half a stick i'll make a stick which is a half a cup we're gonna cream some stuff together y'all this is easy and i know i know without a shadow of a doubt that you got every bit of this stuff in your house right this second so you just put that in there stick of butter which is a half a cup and we are going to put in a half a cup of peanut butter when i was in elementary school i went to northington elementary school for a while then i went to s uh west end uh elementary school in tuscaloosa the rest of the time and at west end i remember being in that little class and smelling the lunch cafeteria workers cooking and i'm telling you i i got so hungry and one of the things that they made that just radiated out over the school was um peanut butter cookies and we got so excited now we used to have those i guess we probably had them every week if not uh maybe every two weeks i we had them a lot okay we got a half a cup of peanut butter in there we're going to put some sugars in we're going to put a half a cup of your granulated sugar just regular sugar and we are going to put a half cup of your brown sugar somebody asked me the other day said what is that little thing in your brown sugar they call it a sugar bear it's made out of clay it's supposed to take care of your sugar anyway we're gonna put a half a cup of brown sugar i think this brown sugar really makes it because with that mixed with that peanut butter it tastes so good anyway those cafeteria workers they'd have a starving to death by lunchtime we couldn't wait to get up there our teacher said light up buddy we were in line so we'll put that in there and we've got to put just a smidgen of vanilla oh a half a teaspoon let me find a half a teaspoon on it this morning you know sometimes my eyes water in the morning when i first get up here's a half a teaspoon now we're gonna cream this together and i'm gonna cream it good so i'm gonna probably turn y'all off while i'm creaming it because it'll probably go a long time and i'll clean up this mess i've made it's supposed to rain today so what i'm gonna do is sit inside and eat peanut butter cookies i'll be back in a minute it's a proven [Music] we need to get some energy today y'all remember that old dance that we used to do like this we'd go like that and go like this [Music] we had we did the chicken nuts and all kind of stuff i tell you teenagers are nuts and i was one of them okay i've creamed it a little bit and i'm gonna put the egg in there now that's gonna make it even more creamy one egg i've got the butter and all that other sugars mixed up i'm gonna put me in one egg that's gonna really cream it up then we're gonna put in our dry ingredients all right we're ready for our dry ingredients and what i've got is i have got eight let me read my recipe one and one fourth cup of your white lily all purpose flour it's just plain old flour one and one fourth cup i'm gonna put it in my bowl then we're going to mix these two things in it because all-purpose flour um doesn't have it in it so we gotta mix it and we need um on your baking soda we need three fourths of a teaspoon to which this is a fourth and i'm gonna have to use that little thing three times see as i don't have that on my measuring thing here we go one two and three three-fourths teaspoon of baking soda and we know we need to put a little salt in it so how much salt does it say one-fourth well that's that one same one just a different thing i better do it not over my bowl some might come out too fast there we go whoop too much brenda there we go a little bit you know um salt just makes everything a little bit better i know it's we shouldn't eat so much of it but when i was little i'd go in there and get me a little bit in my hand and eat it i had a crazy childhood all right here we go let me turn y'all around a little bit more we're gonna um we got this blended up really good and we're gonna turn it on a little bit not much

leftover cornbread all right i'm looking at my plot we'll be back a second all right i've got the others in i've got two cookie sheets i find figured out how to your cookie not to come up when you're trying to do the fork what i did is this i held my cookie like that and then did this and it stays down on the sheet a lot better the cookie sheet instead of coming up with your fork all right this one's ready to go in and put it on the bottom tip these are gonna stay in about another minute or two and then they'll be ready okay the top chef is done let's get it out they look so good look hannah couldn't stay she realized that i was working now i'm gonna put these on the top chef cookie so it's made one two three four one it's got 16 um on the sheet and i put uh 16 plus one on that sheet so it makes a lot of cookies and so what i'm going to do is take them up let them cool i'm gonna put them on this chopping block right here to cool and then big mama is gonna eat some cookies and bring back memories of my childhood in my cafeteria and the teacher would say okay y'all light up we're going to lunch and i was a first in line i'm telling you i've always liked to eat don't those look
