I was lucky enough to be invited into Paula’s home back in 2008. My daughter and I (Suzanne and Chynna)were surprised on “Dear Food Network Holidays” Her whole family was just as nice as they seem. My daughter was 8 then she’s 20 now. It’s still both of our most treasured memories and we still make those chocolate gobs! We got to take them home too that day and we gobbled them up! Sometimes you meet a celebrity and they are disappointing or seem different than what they portray on tv. Not Paula! She sat and talked to us after and was EXACTLY as you would expect-genuine and so friendly! We love Paula!!!

Paula is so right, a man who loves your cooking fills a spot you just cannot explain. Love seeing these two together!

I really hope you consider continuing these videos after this crazy time is over.

Use this as a “DONT STOP THE VIDEOS AFTER QUARANTINE “ button. I made your Not Your Mommas Pudding. BEST BANANA PUDDING. So delicious!

"I just love big nuts. Don't say a word Michael". Laughing so hard! Oh, and I love that mixer!!!

That's my kinda mixer that scrapes the bowl for you so you don't have to. And I lovvvve me some Chocolate Chip Cookies yummy! 🍪❤🤗

Hey Y’all!!! I would love to find a highlight reel of all Mrs. Paula's funniest moments from these quarantine cooking shows.

I was supposed to start my diet tomorrow. Guess that's not gonna happen lol. Chocolate chip cookies are whats gonna happen 😛

She’s so entertaining I like her so much

So glad Ms.Paula is back and better than Ever!♡ These Quarantine videos are down home goodness and love when Michael helps her in the kitchen..love,love,love it!💖 Paula Deen is the Ultimate Queen of Southern cooking,and nobody can take that away from her not even Food Network, although they tried and really screwed up when they cut her Show. We love ya, Paula!

The cookies look delicious! Their thinness reminds me of what we used to call Toll House cookies, always thin and crisp. The recipe was on the package of chocolate chips. Speaking of cookies, last week I got a bag of Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies after seeing Paula's video on banana pudding. They were on sale at Harris-Teeter. That night I was going to have a couple with a cup of hot tea. They were so delicious that I ended up eating the whole bag.

Paula's laugh is so infectious! I wish I could have that cackle as my phone ringtone!

That’s a mighty fine stand mixer! What a genius idea with a scraper and the motion of it in operation! I love it!

Hey Paula I'm so glad to see you back. I missed you, you are such an encouragement. I read your book, loved it. Despite of what happened as a black woman, you were wronged. Hope to see you on another food channel. Keep up the good work 💪. May God bless you in your endeavors.

Mrs Paula, I love to see how Mr Michael blushes every time he’s helping you out in the kitchen. Love you both!❤️

I love how the top part of the mixer comes off to become a hand mixer too!

I’m pregnant and my baby says she wants those cookies 🤰🏻😋🤣🥰

Yay! I got dark chocolate chips ready to go. Got pecans in the freezer, got butter... let’s go

You and Michael might like one of my favorite cookies! Thin and Crispy Oatmeal Cookies! Thin and Crispy Oatmeal Cookies 1 3/4 sticks of softened butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Beat above until smooth Add 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 2 1/2 cups quick oats, or old fashioned...any work Blend in dry ingredients. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease. Probably don't need any grease. Drop by teaspoonfulls about 2 inches apart. No need to flatten them. Bake at 375° F for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool to develop crispness before storing in bag or container. These are my favorite. So crispy and delicious! Adapted from my aunt's recipe and online recipes.

I am so happy this video came up on my recommended! Paula, I started watching you on food network when I was about 7 years old. You are one of the very reason I’ve appreciated cooking my whole life! Now that I’m grown up (23) and have my own place I so look forward to cookin up some of your recipes! Ugh, those Christmas specials of yours are such a beautiful memory for me! Finding your channel is like a golden nugget! ❤️❤️

Paula do you ever use those beautiful copper pots hanging up behind the stove? And are they part of the Paula Deen line? I just love them... they look like art🤗

I love that the stand mixer becomes a hand mixer. So smart.

Ms. Paula I’m sure you hear this a million times but I’m POSITIVE that I am you biggest fan! I have been watching you cook on tv ever since I was a young bride. I’m now about to turn 50 years old. You touch my heart because you cook like my sweet southern momma always cooks. I so enjoy these videos please keep them coming❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi Paula and family! Thank you so much for continuing to post videos! I just love your recipes and your smile and laughter is just the best! These videos are so comforting to me! Hope everyone is happy and safe! 💜💜

Stares at Michael until he says how much of an ingredient before she adds it 😂

Paula we need some help with making cookies...and by “we”, I mean me. 🤣🤣 Several years ago I made Paula’s Loaded Oatmeal Cookies from your Food Network days. They were the most delicious cookie I’ve ever eaten, EXCEPT they crumbled the minute you touched them. They would not stay together for anything and yes, they were cool. We had to scoop up handfuls if them to eat and they were delicious. What did I do wrong? Funny story about these cookies: I made them at Xmas time while at my mother’s house. Mother is obsessed with eating too many calories. But mama had been drinking some holiday spirits and she loved those cookies so much she didn’t care. She was taking big handfuls if the crumbs and shoving them in her face. Haha! I’ll never forget that. So you see Paula, YOUR cookies made my mother forget about calories for one day. I’d love to make them again but don’t want the crumbly mess I had. What did I do wrong? Anyone?

I LOVE chocolate chip cookies! my favorite cookie (besides oreos and gingerbread and pumpkin and shortbread)! I prefer mine thicker but not too thick, and replacing the chocolate chips with m&m's would be delicious too, as would adding a combo of chocolate chips and peanut butter chips to make them like Reese's cups! If you're still taking requests, will you please show how to make homemade chicken and dumplings please? They are my absolute favorite my Grandma made a lot, and though she taught me how, I don't remember everything she put in the dumplings. I miss her and her food ever since she passed away July 26th 2012, having lost her battle to colon cancer. I've been wanting her homemade chicken and dumplings for so long, and I think yours would be very similar cause y'all are southern gals, love to talk, prefer homemade over store bought for some things, and you remind me of my GRandma because y'all have similar cooking styles. :)

Keep these “cooped up” cooking videos coming. They are helping me cope 😋🍪

Is it just me or is it just perfect that he's wearing a blue shirt like the cookie monster is blue from Sesame Street? LOL

Hands down BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE!!! Thank you so much. I would have commented sooner, however, we just woke from our “glucose coma”. Lol. We ate every single crispy chewy crumb. Perfect recipe for our soldiers etc overseas. They would do AMAZING for cookies that need to be shipped. Thanks Paula and Michael.

Just ordered me a mixer... I need that in my life.

That's one very loud mixer Paula!! I had to turn the volume down! Lol Love ya though!! ❤️

Me too. I like them thin and crispy and not too many chocolate chips

Love , love ,LOVE those baking sheets!!!🔥 🤔Are they part of your family collection? I Would love to order those..😊

I really enjoy it when you have your husband reading the ingredients used two are such a cute couple and I love it that his nickname is Cookie Monster

When my daughter was little she adored watching Paula. She had all of her DVDs and Paula’s children’s cook book. I wrote to Miss Paula and figured my daughter would just get a pre-made card with her signature. Nope. Paula sat down and wrote to my daughter. It was the sweetest thing. My daughter was so excited. Her hero wrote to her! Thank you Paula. We love you!

That's funny. I ask my husband to stir in my chocolate chips, too.

Paula, God bless you for coming into our homes during this time. I have been really depressed and you bring joy💕 Be well🌻

Paula, your Cookie Monster is so sweet! We love you guys so much ! ❤️

Captain, Mikey, cookie monster, Michael. Loving his nicknames thus far. The smile he made looking at that batter...priceless❣❣❣❣

Great recipe Paula! Thanks for these videos! Here is a recipe you might like, it's called "Momma's Easy No Yeast Dinner Rolls." The ingredients are 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of milk, and 2 tablespoons of Mayo. Put into muffin tin and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. These dinner rolls are so good! Hope you enjoy!

They are a very cute couple. Love how they both look at the recipe and takes them a few seconds to find the ingredients. Will have to try this recipe.

Hehe my cookies turned out like that one day that my kids thought it was due to too much butter ~ but I’m like you guys, love my cookie crispy not soft so I can dunk into milk.

My grandma Grove used to make a sugar cookie that she would flatten out paper thin with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. I wish I had her recipe.

It's like you are the kitchen and your grandma is baking. You don't really follow the recipe, it's just entertaining to watch her :)

Ok, similarly, I’m looking for an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe that is flat, but chewy. Ideas?

Nice cookies. I use some whole grain flours in my cookies, dark chocolate, walnuts and pecans, a table spoon vanilla, and sometimes spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, and such. And have tried different sugars like monkfruit, and evaporated cane juice. And I put in dried fruit, like raisins, craisons, and such.

Just love watching Paula! Dosent matter what she is making, she just lights up my day! Thanks Paula!

cool mixer, does it have a splash guard? it keeps throwing pieces of batter on your counter and pretty top. I love chocolate chip cookies. Thank you for your recipes Paula :D They look so yummy!

love her mixer and it's clever on how to keep mixing without stopping to scrape the bowl that's awesome

The Dean family what an amazing bunch. I definitely will be making a batch of Chocolate chip cookies . Yummy

I made these cookies this evening with my two boys. My youngest, Colton has autism and is 6 years old and my oldest, Caleb who is 8, loves your videos and loved making these cookies with me! Thank you so much for this fantastic recipe!!

I like to bust up pecans the same way Michael is instead of chopping. Love sweet and salty too. Salted butter makes cookies so flavorful!

I would love to see homemade biscuits!!!

Just took a batch out of oven! Delicious! Just like you, I altered recipe, I added cocoa to make chocolate, chocolate chip cookies! Yummy!! TFS

That’s genius having it scrap the bowl as it mixes.

THIS is the recipe I've been hunting for! None of the others that promise thin and crisp deliver either of those 2 things. Thank you!

Just bought this mixer for my mom for Mother’s Day. She saw this video and was raving about it. Thank you Deen family!

I've been looking for a great chocolate chip cookie recipe. I'll give these a try!

I like my chocolate chip cookies crispy on the edges and chewy on the inside. However when it is very humid, I get the flat crispy cookie which is wonderful dipped in milk or hot cocoa or cappuccino! It is one of my favorite all-time American cookies.👍💓☕

that sounds so good lol i love your laugh as I'm sure many do

I love thin n crispy chocolate chip cookies. But never knew how to get them that way. So what I am understanding is the water and smashing them down? Thanks Miss Paula.

Love the adorable couple that you are! Thin and crispy is the only way to go!

I love when Michael helps! Y'all are such an adorable couple!

O wow...I have a nice kitchen aid mixer...but I always have to stop the darn thing and scrape the bowl.... This mixer that she is showing us is amazing!!! It addresses the only problem i still have with a mixer.... I need to look into this for sure. Another thing too that I am seeing is there is much more room to add ingredients. I love this.

Hi Paula and Michael. Those cookies looks so yummy!!!

I’m so happy to see you back. I’ve been watching every video and already made several recipes during this quarantine. Your banana pudding recipe was easy and a new family favorite. Tomorrow I’m making your peanut butter pie .lol

could you use baking Splenda in place of the sugar

Paula these cookies look so delicious but they look like they crumble. Once they cool, do they harden and get less crumbly? Love your mixer.

That is an absolutely beautiful and sleek looking electric mixer, Mrs. Paula!!!

That has got to be the loudest mixer on the planet. Couldnt hear a single thing. I have a very old stand mixer and it is not nearly that loud.

Ohhhhh, I love those cookie sheets!! My favorite color is green and the green one is my favorite color of green 💚

think u can make a chocolate ganache chip maybe freeze then add to dough so ull have a soft chocolate chip to bite in to ?

Finally someone is making a mixer so you can pour your ingredients in the bowl is open I love it Paula ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE it!! Keep it real in the kitchen, like every day cooking is supposed to be.

I want that mixer. It would be super cool in aqua blue.

Love you, your cooking and the motion mixer. Can they add a muffler to it? I missed half you said.

Those looked so good. My mom's favorite was thin and crisp. It was so good to see Michael. I remember that Oprah episode! Too funny...

I love them thin and crispy.

I was about to go in search of a Cookie Recipe right when this Tutorial popped up for viewing! Timing IS Everything.... I just love to watch you two in the kitchen... You two work well together. 😍 Again, thank you for everything Miss Paula, and please make sure that Mr. Michael gets at least a dozen or two cookies... I'm going to email my shopping list to my husband now... He gets the banana pudding and I'll get the cookies! Much love, 💕 Bethany McKittrick

I have added bacon to my chocolate chip cookies too. It's amazing

If you add a tablespoon of corn starch to your cookies, they will be fabulous & soft inside

oh i need this mixer! it looks lovely!!

Thank you, Paula. You make staying at home a blast. I know you'll never change and that's what I love about you. Love to Aunt Peggy. She so special. Stay safe.

Love the movement of the mixer ! Never seen anything like it.... GENIUS Paula !! 💕

Paula, I really like the way your mixer moves back and fourth as it’s beating the ingredients and the scraper looks like it works great.

I just found out paula even has a youtube channel, this is so wholesome! Thankyou so much for doing this ❤

Thats a LOUD mixer! Camera woman should be filming from the other side.

My husband loves watching this series. He says he likes it better than any of your other shows, but he likes them all.

Yay! Thin and crispy!🐾❤

I love all of her recipes, definitely going to try this one, I tried her peach cobbler and now everyone wants it

No sopin the bowl, as my grandmother used to call it. I'd live for that moment. lol -- I love your kitchen.

I'm just the same.. i love my chocolate chip cookies with a bit of salty flavor.. i usually add just a pinch more

Miss Paula, if I leave out the water and add baking powder, would these be more cake like? My family prefers the thicker cookies :)

Looks so yummy!! I started baking chocolate chip cookies when I was just a little girl. Then I made all different kinds of cookies as I got older. I made brownies and lemon pies. My Daddy loved them.

👋🏼 Hey Y'all! For fun I created a highlight reel of what I thought were Paula's funniest moments of the quarantine and posted it on my channel.

Cookies look yummy! I love the idea of the mixer but it is way too loud.

Paula your books and your videos have gotten me through a lot of hard times thank you so much you're real inspiration. My dream is to visit one of your restaurant one day well I could afford to travel that far

mrs paula your husband jimmy is so kind on them commercials i love them breakfast sandwiches just warms the whole body up keep 'em comin' thank y'all God bless

I accidentally made some thin and crispy cookies and they were delicious.
