The Best Sugar Cookies to Decorate with Royal Icing (No Spread!!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- If you´re curious to see how I make my cookies, and how they keep their shape, well look no further! I use a common recipe but have made a few simple tweaks to make these delicious, no spread cookies a sure hit!
My favourite part is that it calls for brown sugar (I prefer using dark brown sugar), it gives it so much flavour and a beautiful golden colour. These cookies are great for decorating with royal icing as they can be handled and transported easily without worrying that you´ll break them but still maintain a softer bite! They aren´t too sweet, so once they are iced, they taste amazing. And if you're scared of too much puff, you can reduce the amount of baking powder from 1tsp as said in the video to 1/2 tsp.
The changes I've made to the recipe:
- add dark brown sugar instead of golden brown sugar
- add 2 teaspoons of butter emulsion flavouring in addition to the vanilla
- add 1/2 to 1 teaspoons of baking powder instead of 1/4
Watch until the end so you can get all the tips I´ve learnt to get those perfect cookies.
The recipe is by Lila Loa (with a few tweaks of my own) and can be found here:

This recipe can also be flavoured with any of your favourite extracts or emulsions. Lots of popular ones almond, lemon or a mix of both!

I substitute 2 tablespoons of the flour with corn starch. I also add a tablespoon of crisco and mix it with the butter. The cookies melt in your mouth and yet strong enough to handle and decorate.
Amazing!! I've heard corn starch helps to soften cookies but never tried it! I'll have to try it one day 🥰
Thanks for the tip Laura. Do you use butter flavored Crisco or regular Crisco?
@@gwenleonard57 regular flavored crisco. Hope you like them after trying those add ons.
Hiii how do you substitute like do you just add 2 table spoons of cornstarch to your flour? Kinda confused
@@normari_gutierrez3535 I put 2 tablespoons of flour in my measuring cup and then spoon flour on top of that to equal 1 cup.
You just changed my life - THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE *DETAILS* - YOU'RE VERY GENEROUS FOR SHARING, WHAT I'M SURE, HAS BEEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!
You're very welcome! If I can save a few people some of the learning struggles, then I'm happy ♥️♥️
Amazing job at making the video...
Recommendation: cut the baking powder to 3/4 instead of a full teaspoon, you will still get the rise. The longer the powder sits in the dough the more likely you will get bubbles in the last few cookies. Also, you can cut back on the flour, and make sure you refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour (2 hours preferred) before rolling out. You want that butter to chill really well! This will make the cookies not spread without the extra flour. The amount of flour makes the difference between a cracker texture cookie and a good soft buttery cookie without loosing the shape.
Love your personal tweaks... the brown sugar can make all the difference, and the butter flavor is great for cookies along with many other deserts and pie crusts ❤️! Again amazing job at making the video!
Thank you so much for your recommendations ❤ I'll have to give it a try!
Joe Harrison Thank you on the tips!
What do you recommend to cut the flour back to?
Hello. I have brown sugar instead dark brown sugar do you believe it’s ok using brown?
Yes it will work! I've made it with golden sugar which is the lighter brown sugar we have here without any issues!
I'm so obsessed with all your tutorials! I've been a butter cream decorator for 30+ years and always wanted to expand to include royal icing, but the few times I played around with it were complete disasters. Thank you for sharing both your cookie and icing recipe. I can't wait to start this next decorating journey! Keep those videos coming!
Thank you so much 🥰🥰 its a whole new world with royal icing and its amazing at all the things you can do with it! But yes it's a but tricky at first (although it looks so easy when someone else is doing it)! But I hope you give it another try!!

This recipe is gold!!!! Thank you so much for having it on here 😭 I’m a beginner and tried this… goodness!!! My cookies are beautiful and yummy!
Yay! I'm so glad you love it ❤️
thank you for your channel. You break everything down so other's can do it. I've been baking for 45 years and I am very grateful that you shared this recipe. It's my new go-to.
Thank you so much!! So glad you enjoyed the video. I can't take credit for the recipe as that's all Lilaloa but love sharing it with people cause it's such a great recipe!
I like my sugar cookies to have an orange or lemon flavor. can i add this flavoring?
Yes you definitely can! You can add some lemon or orange rind and a maybe some lemon or orange flavoring!
Just made these and they are delicious! So easy and you don’t necessarily need a cake stand I just used an egg beater (cake mixer) my kids loved them
So happy to hear that and happy you made them ❤❤
Nothing
Oh my gosh! This recipe makes the best tasting cookie! Beats any recipe I have tried before and no spread. Win, win. Now I need to work on my decorating...I need A LOT more practice.
As soon as I saw you use brown sugar I knew this is the recipe for me. I also love how thoroughly you described the dough in each step. I can't wait to try this. 😊
Brown sugar is the only way to make cookies 😁 its such a great recipe!
Dee Not only brown sugar but dark brown,OMG so good.
Yes!!!
i made the cookies using 3/4 tsp of baking powder and dark brown sugar, I cooked one batch for 7 min they were light in colour, the 2 + batched i cooked 2 min longer until they were darker in colour, i much preferred the taste of the darker cookie, what a difference. This is my new sugar cookie recipe, amazing taste texture and no spread!!
Yay!! Yes, I'm glad you baked them longer, it really does taste so much better! 😁😁
I've used for 1 cup butter (225g) 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar, 2 eggs, then only 2 and 1/2 cups flour and it was perfection! My favorite cookie ever! I flatten my dough while it's still room temp, and put it in the fridge/freezer flat for about 15 or 30 min... Then good to go! Brown sugar is a great idea! Thanks!
🥰🥰🥰
Hi! I’m new to this and this seemed like a pretty simple measurement and recipe so is that all you ended up using?
@@normari_gutierrez3535 So I've tried and retried and I've found the perfect recipe... (for me!)
I use the following:
1 cup of butter (2 sticks)
1 cup of sugar (you can divide the sugar the way you want, brown & dark brown taste caramelised, while white only adds sweetness which is also delicious if you like sweet things, you can add tastes to your icing later on. So you can do half and half or 2/3 and a 1/3 or divide between the 3 sugars)
1 egg + salt (I add my salt to my egg or on my egg to avoid that raw egg taste)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder (all 3 can be added to the egg & mixed to it before pouring)
3 cups of flour (To me that's the prfect amount. The cookies cook perfectly, the dough is not greasy - I would go up to 3/4 cup but not more. I don't like cakey flourey stuff 😂)
@@nadinekore6308 perfect! I will definitely use this to try it out, also do you add royal icing on top of the cookie? Or a different type of icing and if so what ingredients 😂. Hahah sorry for all the questions
@@normari_gutierrez3535 Little Cookie had me try Meringue powder which is a substitute for egg whites... And it's amazing. Her recipe is on her channel, it's something like 2 cups of powdered sugar + 1 tbsp meringue powder + 1 tsp vanilla + food coloring of your choice 1 tsp + 1 to 3 tbsp water ...
I prefer to cover my cookies with buttercream - which is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted 😂Butter 1 stick + 2 cups powdered sugar + 2 tbsp milk + vanille or other
This one is not great for decorating, it's more of a frosting.
I appreciate that you are interested in having them taste as good as they look. Using brown sugar and butter flavor sounds like a great flavor enhancement.
Thank you!! At the end of the day all of these nice cookies want to be eaten so taste is super important for me too,a
I’m a baker (only cakes) and I have a huge respect for cookie decorators, they asked me to make some graduation cookies and I’m terrified, but I’ve always wanted to try and see how it goes… your videos are inspiring me and are so helpful!
Thank you so much!! I have much respect for cake decorators as well. I love making them but I'm far from being good at it. I'm sure you will do great on your cookies, take your time and just have fun with them 😁
Have you tried some cookies yet? It is nice to make them available to your cake customers:) that way you can up your income and they match the cake too
This might be 3 years old...but I love it !! I've learned so much. 😊😊❤ Thank you so much. Hoping your still making cookies and decorating.
I sure am!! Just taking a bit of a summer break. And so glad you love the video ♥️♥️
By far the bessst explained step by step tutorial for newbies on baking sugar cookies!! I feel confident to try again as you answer little things here and there that came up when I baked
That makes me so very happy to hear! I'm so happy you will give it a try again 😊 thank you for your sweet comment!
Made cookies today using this EXACT recipe, and it was sooooo good. I used butter vanilla extract , and OMGGG. Thank you!!!
Yay!!! I love to hear that 🥰🥰

Muchas gracias por colocar la receta en gramos
is one cup of butter a stick?
Usually, but I know it may be different sometimes but should say on the package normally.
@@LittleCookieCo okay thanks!!
I made this cookie recipe today and love the flavor and how the cookies keep there shape! Love the brown sugar so much!
I made these cookies today. I was hesitant because of the unspecified amount of flour. Yes, you can add all the flour you want to get cookies that won't spread, but they will be dense and dry. I started with 3.5 c of flour like the original recipe calls for. The dough was the consistency I use for my large chocolate chip cookies and they spread some. So I added the cornstarch and a bit of flour for a little over 4 cups of flour/starch and gave it a go. I was presently surprised. I made rectangular cookies and hearts the straight sides. The rectangles were rolled too thickly (obvs my fault) but kept their shape quite well - a slight amount of bulge but no real spread. The hearts were closer to 1/4 in. but rerolled a few times so I thought they'd the terrible. They are crisp and clean. They might be more tough because of the rerolling - but the cornstarch should help that. Because of the extra sugar (compared to other recipes and that brown sugar is sweeter than white sugar), these are pretty sweet by themselves. They are very like a chocolate chip cookie base that needs dark chocolate to balance them out. Once I add the royal icing, I fear the real problem with these cookies will be that they're too sweet. But we'll see once they are decorated and consumed. I did chill the dough for a few hours before I rolled them out and then for the amount of time it took to roll out the second half (10 - 15 min). The bake time was longer because they were thick AND chilled. Closer to 15 minutes for my 2x3 in rectangle. Thanks for posting this :)
It sounds like they worked great for you!! I love how everyone has their own unique spin on them!
@@LittleCookieCoiam happy that I follow you 💯 # YSW 😊😊😊😊😊
I never subscribe to anyone, but I'm going to subscribe to you. I am astonished at how you answer nearly every question in the comments. I feel like I have all the info I need to be successful! I'm trying these cookies! Thank you.
Thank you so very much, I feel so honored that you have subscribed 🥰 I try to answer all the questions or comments (I know sometimes I miss some because it just happens) but I hate to leave poeple hanging if they don't know something cause I was once in their shoes.
I tried your recipe yesterday and it was absolutely delicious!!! My kids and I have been trying for years to get a great tasting sugar cookie, and this is it! I did your additions and it was great! Thank You!!!❤😊
I'm so happy to hear that! I can't take credit for the original recipe but I'm so glad I can share it as it's such an awesome recipe 🥰🥰 glad you loved the additions too!

I love your videos, not to many people explain what they do like you do. Thank you
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
This is an awesome recipe! Turned out great. Easiest I’ve done. Your presentation was very clear!
Its such a great recipe!! And thank you!!
Made and baked these. The recipe, as instructed, made beautiful dough to roll, cut, and bake. The taste was buttery with a hint of almond. This is my new favorite cookie....thank you!
Yay!!! So happy to hear that ❤️
Going through all your videos, and just made these cookies with your recipe and substitutions for my daughters party this weekend! They turned out beautiful so far! Thanks for all the informative and clear tutorials!
Yay! That's awesome 🥰 I'm so happy to hear that ❤
@@LittleCookieCo I didn’t see the amount for the butter and sugar. Can I please get that
Here's the link to the recipe www.lilaloa.com/2013/02/vanilla-20-sugar-cookie-recipe.html?m=1
that tip for smoothing out the bubbles - genius! thank you.
You're welcome!!!!
Omg I found the best sugar cookie recipe!! I made the cookies and they came out perfect, shaped perfectly, no spread and they tasted good. I tried so many recipes and I didn’t get good cookies like I did with one, now this recipe is going to be my go to recipe. Thank you for sharing your recipe ❤️❤️❤️
Yay!!! I'm so happy you loved it 🥰🥰 thanks for the awesome feedback!!
No logro encontrar la receta de las galletas 😢 me la compartes ?
i tried this recipe tonight so my kids and nieces can decorate them tomorrow (which is a tradition we do every year, while painting some sort of Christmas ornament we buy from the dollar tree that is just that fake wood). the Kids love the way this taste (not too sweet) without the royal icing. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
I'm so happy you love it! And how fun for the kids, they're lucky to have such a wonderful tradition 🥰🥰
I love watching your decorating shorts/reels!
Thank you for this! I honestly don’t care for that underbaked flavor of the lighter cookies. These sound delicious and would make epic snickerdoodle cookies too!
Thank you so much!!! And yes, snickerdoodle would be amazing with these, not sure why I never thought that!! And I find browned bottoms are so much more flavour but I think poeple are scared to brown them now cause pale cookies are in 🤷♀️
Oh I would love to know the steps to make snickerdoodle.
Thx for the tips! I’m 14 and I just made this cookies for Valentine’s Day and they are delicious!
Yay, that's amazing!!!
Honestly, you're videos inspired me to start baking! My cookies don't look as good as yours (yet), but I am getting there! Thank you for the step to step videos!!! Really helps compared to those videos that rush through the process.
I'm so happy to hear, thank you for watching!! It just takes some practice and once you get the hang of things, you'll be amazed how good you'll become! ❤
Thank you so very much for being so detail to the max. I am a new grandmother to a beautiful baby girl and I am trying to learn so I can bake little cookies for her. TY.
Congratulations on being a grandmother 🥰🥰 how exciting! I'm sure she will be so happy to have amazing cookies for all her special moments!
Ive love this recipe ive tried it several times and i get great results every time ive even tried it with mini choc chips and they were amazing
I always tell myself I want to put chocolate chips in them but always forget too haha. I bet it tastes even better like that!
Hi, Could you share this recipe in writing, please?
There is a link below, in the description of the video where you can find the recipe. It's not my original recipe and so I dont want to take anything away from the original creator!
@@LittleCookieCo thank you very much🤗🤗
We always have salted butter at home, so I omit the added salt.
Try lemon extract instead of or in addition to vanilla.
KitchenAid fans are a bit nuts about them. Our Mixmaster works fine.
Just dicovered your channel and i LOVE IT i tried the recipe and it was an absolute win! Lots of love from Mexico
That makes me so happy to hear 🥰🥰 saludos desde Canada ❤❤❤
@@LittleCookieCo I am making this atm put the 3 and 1/2 flour then the 1/2 extra flour and it is still soft plz help me do I just keep adding more flour or throw it out cause I don't want it to floury
Add another half cup of flour, or you can cover your dough and let it sit a bit, it may get less soft as is sits. If your butter was too soft or its really warm and humid it may take more flour. Try that, cover the dough and then in 30 minutes try rolling and putting in the fridge before you bake and it should work!
@@LittleCookieCo thank u sooo much it worked and I came out perfect
Yay! So happy it worked for you 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing this recipe! It's truly the best recipe out there! They turn out delicious, soft but do not spread. I highly recommend this recipe!
Thank you again for sharing it.
So glad they worked out well for!!! Thanks!
I'm really looking forward to trying this recipe. Thank you for all of the helpful tips and tricks. I've never made a cookie to decorate so I'm hoping you'll have a "how-to" for that too. Thanks so much!
It is on the list to make!! Thank you for watching ❤
I cannot wait to try this recipe. I did use the link for the written recipe and neither the one the link brings me to or the "original recipe here" link has your tweaks of: 2 tsp butter emulsion and 1 full tsp of baking powder as indicated in this video tutorial. I'm sure both recipes are fabulous as they are but I wanted mention it. I'm going to give these cookies a try with your verbal tweaks in this video. So looking forward to making these. ❤
I don't have a record with my tweaks as it mostly comes from Lila Loa's recipe and didn't want to take credit for it! So I have written the tweaks in the description and other than that follow her recipe 😊
Thank you! I love brown sugar in cookies.
Me too!! You can't beat it 😊
You do such a great job of explaining your step by step process. I am excited to try out your recipes and try decorating!
Yay! Thank you so much 🥰❤️
Thank you so much❤
I made this cookies today. They are great! Thank you so much. I am from Argentina and i usually bake for friends and family. You gave me a lot of valuable tips. Thank you again!!! Merry Xmas to all of you. Stay safe.
Yay! I'm so happy you like them!! I visited Argentina once, only got to see Buenos Aires and Tigre but can't wait to go back one day to see more places! Es un pais muy hermoso 🥰 Merry Christmas and wish you all the best ❤
Thank you for taking the time to share your recipes and all your cookie decorating tips! Much appreciated 🙂
Thank you so much!!
Your cookies are exactly the way I always want mine to turn out and never do. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’m hoping for better Christmas cookies this year thanks to you. 👍🏼🙃
I hope they turn out just perfect for you!! Wishing you all the best 🥰🥰
Cookies are delicious, my children and grandchildren loved them! Just finished baking half of another batch. Hoping my frosting consistency improves this time around! 😳😳😳
Glad they love them! It will get better each time you do it! There's definitely a learning process, so don't be too hard on yourself
I am anxious to try your dough recipe. It looks wonderful, and the consistency looks great. Thank you for sharing your tips for a non-spreadable cookie💕👍
Thank you so much! Not my original recipe but one I love and use all the time for my cookies!
Ok I’m trying your recipe instead of my mother’s. I think this recipe will have the best flavor. I can’t wait to roll out these cookies!!
Oh don't tell your mom 🙈🙈 but I hope it went well!!
@@LittleCookieColol I didn’t tell her… but they were amazing and the royal icing was delish. I used your recipe for that as well. I’m making another batch today!
Making these on Saturday! Going to attempt to actually make pretty cookies for a change lol
Yay!!! So happy to hear that!! Have fun and let me know how it goes!
I simply love this recipe and all the alterations that have made makes the most sense. So delicious!
Do you recommend any other cookie recipe to try? chocolate or cookie dough? I really appreciate all your tips!
We made them and they looked and smelled so so good. The taste was not good at all. I read through the comments and think we must have done something wrong?! We measured by weight not volume and did everything as perfectly as possible, but they taste like cardboard to me...my daughter says play-doh
It could be maybe you got the sugar measurements wrong, but these cookies are meant to not be too sweet because royal icing is really sweet, so it balances out the icing. Thats why I lke to use real vanilla and butter flavour as its tastier to me. Everyone has their preferred taste though, but try searching up a recipe with powered sugar you may like it more!
Thank goodness it wasn't just me! My husband said they tasted like biscuits. I appreciate the tutorial and maybe that is her taste preference so I am not being ugly but I am so glad it wasn't just me!
Hello, today I made these cookies, and I really like the taste and how they turned out. Thank you
Thanks so much! Very happy with taste of these cookies. Made unicorn cookies for granddaughters birthday favors, they kept well, no problem with spread, very nice. I self taught on lots of royal icing videos and did pretty well, but not expert! Now my problem is all the grandkids want them!!! Lori
Yay! So happy it worked out well for you! And im sure your grandkids will be expecting them every birthday and special occasion from now on 🤣 but the smiles on their faces are so worth it I'm sure ♥️
Totally agree it needs to bake brown for the crisp butter flavour ,i was worried my cookies dont look white
Yes!! It's so delicious!!! And don't worry about everyone else, I used to, and I thought I was doing something wrong. But when I always had great feedback on my cookies, it reassured me they are just perfect!
Amazing!!! Making these as soon as exams are done!!
Yay!!! Good luck on your exams 🥰🥰
Me too
R exams done?
Hello from Bermuda 🇧🇲 thanks for your recipe, will be trying these on the weekend
Yay ❤❤
Amazing!!! This push me to start my own YT channel and teach the Beginners too on how to make a cake toppers put of fondant without using any expensive tools.
Yay! That's a great idea ❤
@@LittleCookieCo thank you 🥰
These worked 100% the way you said they would and are delicious! Thank you so much!!!
Yay!! I'm so happy to hear that! So happy you gave them a try!
You explain the process really well, i bought the butter flavouring from Amazon today. What else can I use it for, thanks
Thank you! I love to add it to my royal icing too!
Ok, im gonna try these. My family loves my sugar cookies and i use confectioners sugar and almond oil and bs to achieve the browness/ crispness on bottom with a soft lofty cookie. Its a recipe out of Tasts of Home magazine, an old issue of early 90s. Its the only one ive used since the family raves over them. But i trust you that these are delicious. Since its the almond oil, i think ill make these and go half and half vanilla and almond. I too love them lofty and just a bit golden sides and bottom. Thankyou for sharing! They have got to be good with brown sugar in them! You are basically combining a snickerdoodle, with the eggs and combination of sugars, less the cream of tarter, and a traditional sugar cookie! What a pleasure watching you! I love the little science of food tips.
It might not rival your trusted recipe, but I think these with icing are just perfect, not too sweet and sturdy enough to decorate and handle without worrying they'll break 😁 let me know what you think!!
@@LittleCookieCo im going to make them this weekend at my sons house as ive been asked to do some for halloween this year. My daughter is trying to perfect her royal icing skills so ill bake and let them decorate!
Aww that's awesome! You're a great mom!! I just posted a couple of Halloween tutorials last week if she needs any guidance!
My cookies just finished baking and they came out AMAZING. Thank you. I pray I can decorate them 😩. They’re for my grandchildren for the holiday.
Yay! I'm so happy they came out well! You'll do great at decorating and your grandchildren will love them 🥰
"YOU GO GIRL"
You got this!!!
Very best recipe for workability, no spread and tastes amazing!
I agree its an amazing recipe!!
What a great recipe. I made them and everyone was enjoying them so much! Thank you so much! ❤❤😍
So happy to hear that!!
Thank you. God bless ❤
Thank you ❤️❤️
I just made these cookies. I underbaked the first tray and they tasted awful. Once I got them light brown around the edges, they were delicious. Thanks to all below for all the hints. Great Video!!
Yay! I'm so glad you said that, because everyone thinks they should be super white and undertakes and if they're a bit browned they think they look burnt. But they taste so much better!
Thx for the recipe!! I will DEFINITEY use this recipe soon!!
Yay!! You're welcome!
I'm so excited to use all your tips and tricks! All I have been doing is watching all your videos!
Aww thank you so much 🥰🥰
Omg the flour tip makes so much sense. Thankyou I’m going to try it with my cookie recipe at home. Please what temp did you bake them at and how long? 💕
I bake at 350°F and my cookies are usually bigger so I do around 10 minutes. But I usually set a timer for 7-8 minutes and then keep checking back to see when the edges start to get golden brown!
@@LittleCookieCo I think you mean 350 Fahrenheit 180C
Yes!!! Thank you for correcting me! I'm in Canada so everything is in Celsius except my oven is Farenheit and I forget haha.
@@LittleCookieCo easily done. Your re ope looks great. I’m going to try it out this weekend 😋
Yay! Let me know how it goes!!
It work amazing 👏 🙌 ✨️ and delicious 😋 😍
Thank you 🥰
I am a new channel member! I am delighted with your perfect cookies.
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi, im italian and here brown sugar it's so difficult to find. How can I do? Thank you for your videos❤️🤗
If you don't have brown sugar, you can add molasses to white sugar! You can google homemade brown sugar 😊
@@LittleCookieCo thank youuu❤️🤗
@@sugar_and_choco dear am trying to make it vegan.. usually...I use raw sugar.. that’s has a kinda of caramelly taste.. still I can add my brown sugar is it??? Sorry if I sound silly in asking so...
@@bhavanisri8515 you can use brown sugar if you’re making them vegan
White sugar and molasses mixed makes brown sugar ☺️
my mom complained about the original recipe I followed by emma's goodies so I've been trying to find a new one. I tested out 3 recipe already (all quartered because I don't need 100's of cookies yet. LoL), Imma try this one today because it seems to have the most sugar and looks like it'll have the most flavor. Wish I had it weeks ago when I had her try the other cookies.
Hopefully your mom likes it!! I find they aren't too sweet so with icing it pairs beautifully!
@@LittleCookieCo She liked loved them. I made different flavors too because I like having a variety. I didn't do icing because it was already a big baking project and I've never done icing before. Maybe next time.
That's awesome!!! So happy she loved it!! And yes, baking these is enough effort already, I don't blame you!!
Thanks for the recipe. For how long can i keep the dough in the fridge before baking the cookies, please?
If you man chilling the cutouts before baking, I would say try no longer than an hour as they dough can dry out if uncovered too long. But if you just want to keep the dough before rolling in the fridge, you can wrap it in saran wrap and keep in in the fridge for a couple days
Thanks a lot for you're reply. I'm gonna do those for christmas. 😊
New subscriber from mauritius island😉
Yay!! So happy you'll try them!! And so cool, greetings from Canada!!
I tried this recipe and it turned out best! Thanks
Yay! Happy to hear that ♥️
I am definitely going to make your recipe. One question, do you ever add almond extract to your dough? Thank you for another great video! ☺️
Yes, I have added it before!! A lot of people love it, so it's a great option as well!
@@LittleCookieCo do you replace the vanilla extract with almond? Or will you add both?
You can do either or. I always like to add a touch of vanilla and then other flavours as well. But you can do just almond as well just a personal preference!
Christmas cookies came out great. Thank you!
Yay! Happy to hear that ❤️
You are fantastic !! ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊❤
I've just discovered your Channel, as I'm embarking on decorating cookies for family and friends. If I want to plan ahead and make the cookies first, should I, 1) bake them, and then freeze them, 1) freeze the dough and then bake them, or 3) don't freeze the dough or the baked cookie. I've enjoyed watching your videos. Oh, and I received my Butter Emulsion today. Can't wait to use it in my sugar cookie recipe. :)
Yay! You got the butter emulsion!! I got so many compliments on my cookies and icing when I started using it! Personally I prefer to freeze the cookies after I've baked them. I find it the easiest way and keeps them nice and fresh!!
@@LittleCookieCo Lastly, in your tutorials, I notice you don’t refrigerate the dough before rolling, other than the brief 10 minutes or so, as you are preparing another rollout. Is that correct? Want to make sure more time is not required in the fridge before I roll and cut them out. Thanks so much for your help!
You got it! I don't like to refrigerate them before rolling because it becomes hard to roll. But after I cut the shapes, I'll refrigerate them. As long as the cutouts are cold to the touch, then you're OK to bake!
You are such a great teacher!
Thank you so much ❤️
Can I please get the measurements of the recipe like 1 cup of this 🙏🏻🔥❤️
There's a link in the description of the video that will take you to the recipe 😊
@@LittleCookieCo tnx 😍
This will be the third year I've made your cookies for Christmas. They are a HUGE hit with neighbors and friends. Because I give them out as gifts, I end up making 200-300 cookies each season. I want to make the dough ahead of time, roll it out and freeze it flat. My questions: Is that the best way to do that? Would you suggest cutting the cookies and freezing the dough like that or would you bake the cookies and freeze them once baked? I use your royal icing receipt as well, can I freeze the decorated cookies to keep them fresh? Thanks for your help, and THANK YOU for your wonderful videos. I had failed at Royal Icing so many times before I found your video's.
You are amazing!! That's a lot of cookies!! I'm sure people just love it though and what an amazing thing to do 🥰🥰 I would bake the cookies then freeze them, I feel like then half the work is done!! You can freeze dough and roll it between saran wrap but I feel like you might as well bake them if you're doing most of the work already. As for after icing them, you can definitely freeze then as well! In a container or in ziploc freezer bags. The only thing to remember is to make sure they come to room temperature before you open the container or the ziploc bags or they can get condensation on them! So a couple ways you can freeze them and hopefully will make it easier for you 🥰🥰
How many cookies does the recipe approximately makes? Thank you for the video❤️
I would say 2-3 dozen. If you're cookies are average size then much closer to 3 dozen but if they're on the larger size, like 4 inches and are a rounder cookie then maybe closer to 2 dozen. Also depending how thick you rol them, the thinner they are the more cookies you'll get!
@@LittleCookieCo Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video ..Finally I got the cookie I wanted . Perfect taste !
Yay! So happy to hear that!
So this recipe doesn’t require chilling time in the fridge for hours, but only 15 minutes after we cut them and before we bake them... did I get that right?
Yes! The original recipe doesn't call for refrigeration but I find chilling it a bit so the dough is cold helps keep the shape super sharp, and it doesn't take long.
Thank you for sharing 💫
I don't see the amounts of the ingredients??
I should have seen the link sooner! I found it and I've made the cookies and they are AMAZING!! Perfect recipe!!

making cookies for someone who can’t have butter.. have you ever tried this with vegan butter? i’m going to use earth balance sticks. just curious if you’ve tried and have any input. regardless i will come back and update you on how it turns out!
update: i subbed the butter for earth balance unsalted buttery sticks (same quantity that the recipe called for) and it turned out AMAZING! they’re perfect! baked nice, taste delicious, and held their shape with nice clean vertical edges. thank you for this recipe it’s sooo tasty!
Yay!! I'm so glad you tried it and it worked 🥰🥰🥰 that's so awesome!
Again, wow, thank you for so many great tips. I can not wait until tomorrow and I will try both your icing and cookies, and I will let you know.
