I had never baked cookies in my life, but today I made these, and they were delicious. I did have to chill the dough for about an hour, but that's because I live in Panama and it's incredibly hot and humid here. I can now add "bake Christmas cookies" to the list of things I've done in my life. Thank you for this great, easy-to-follow recipe.
Hi Marelisa, That's amazing! Thank you for your feedback. We hope that you'll continue to bake more. If you're on Instagram, be sure to follow us instagram.com/wiltoncakes for more inspiration. And tag #wiltoncakes when you post a photo of your work. We'd love to see it!
This is the best recipe ever!! I need to make this way more often. When I usually don't have to chill the dough the cookies taste tasteless. But when I want a delicious recipe I have to chill it forever. But this recipe is both delicious and no chill. Thks SM
I tried this and they did not retain the shape although the flavour is beeeautiful! and the consistency... amazing. I put them in the refrigerator for 30 min and it retained the shape better
I used a similar recipe but it called for 3 eggs and 4 cups flour. I did chill it even though it also said she didn't. Other differences were 4 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt. It worked great. I rolled out between parchment paper then you don't have to keep adding flour to make it not stick and the dough doesn't get tough.
I also thought the same with the parchment paper, it would seem to me that the cookie would get too dry with so much flour after a while. But hey, to each to own cookie I suppose lol
Just tried it and it came out fantastic! I halved the recipe and still used the full egg as I didnt want to 1/2 an egg. Other than that I followed the recipe as is. I also think we should follow her recipe and not overmix the dough. Very pleased and will use this for my regular xmas cookie recipe
That's so great to know! If you're on Instagram, don't forget to tag us @wiltoncakes if you upload a photo of the cookies. We'd love to see them! Thanks for watching!
This tutorial is sooo helpful I am become a cake decorator as a career and I am excited but love this recipe because I baked cookie tonight to decorate with royal icing and it all combined because I didn’t have didn’t have a lot of flour so I used confectioners sugar but before I put it in chill dough but it’s just got more sticky ugh lol
I'm thinking of buying a Mickey cookie cutter that comes with a face stamp and I'm extremely new to making sugar cookies. If I use the stamp with this recipe, do you think it will keep its shape or, warp a bit? Thanks so much for this recipe! :)
YAASSSSS!!! My phone is about to die so I really wanted to find a way to make a water melon cookie for food in school and EVERY SINGLE TUTORIAL SAYS CHILL FOR TWO FREAKING HOURS!!!!
Hello thank you for the recipe. I started at 3 o'clock and it is 4 already and I'm done it really is worth the time loved it thanks . And yes I'm just 12 :-)
Mary Vanhouten yes! I freeze my cookies in freezer bags and then in an airtight container. Pull them out when ready to use and let them sit about an hour before decorating. I also do the same for my decorated cookies. They come out Perfect!
I have a question, after they are baked can they be store in the fridge and will they become soft like super soft... I need to drizzle them with royal icing and I have never done this recipe or any other...Thanks
We use self rising flour in a lot of our baking. Do we HAVE 2 use all purpose flour or do we have 2 eliminate an ingredient? I love baking a lot, but have enough money, time or utensils 2 do it as much as I want 2. Y'all are 1 of my favorite recipe/cooking supply people and y'all rock. LOL.
Charlotte Manasco I only buy self rising and I don’t add salt or baking powders. My cookies, I have been told a lot of times, are amazing! They bake beautiful! Flat and don’t spread like I need them to decorate.
I just made these this week using the Wilton Ultimate Treat & Decorating Collection book😊 One question though, I want to make the chocolate ones and it says 3 squares of unsweetened chocolate and I was wondering how many chocolate chips that would be? Also I was wondering if I substituted unsweetened chocolate chips for semisweet chocolate chips how much sugar should I then use? Thanks for the help😊
I absolutely love this recipe and so does my friends when I bake them. However, recently they have been spreading and I don't know what it is that I am doing wrong, any tips on this please? Thanks in advance 😊
add in some corn starch, it is magic for no spread cookie, sub out 1/4 c of the flour in recipe and replace it with corn starch, and they will not spread at all. You can not taste any difference.
@@ajinpnw6221 don’t you love it when people have problems and they ask questions and then they don’t bother to thank you? I also followed another recipe that added corn starch and I think I’ll just go back to that recipe and buy better quality butter
@@dcwatashi I agree with you : D Thank you for the reply and I hope that the corn starch works. I tried Preppy Kitchens Sugar cookies and found the corn starch trick. However, although most of all of his recipes are amazing, his sugar cookies just were not as sweet and chewy as I was looking for. I am still on the search for a sugar cookie that is sweet, holds its shape with very little spread but has that soft bite to it...If you ever come across this, and would not mind sharing, I would love if you shared your findings :D I have several years under my belt in Cake decorating, but, just jumped into the cookie lane...Thank you again for the smile :D BTW : in case you wanted to see Preppy Kitchen Sugar cookie video I am enclosing the link. They were really good, did NOT spread at all, and maybe you will find something in this to tweak your cookies? If not, not a thing...Just think all of us Bakers should stick together ( No Pun ) hahaha th-cam.com/video/rrz1m-BImFM/w-d-xo.html
@@ajinpnw6221 I found that his cookies didn’t have much taste. So it could have been the type of vanilla I was using, I don’t think I was using super high-quality butter, but yes you are right they did not spread at all. I’ve been watching the seasons of the Christmas cookie challenge and I pick up quite a few tips in that show. It’s on the Food Network I don’t know if you have access to that. Some of the bakers substitute some of the sugar with brown sugar some of them substitute some of the white sugar with icing sugar that might give you a sweeter cookie. I might just add a little more butter to make it more like a short bread but I obviously don’t want it to crumble and I’m not mailing these I’m just handing them out to friends so I think I could get away with more of a shortbread consistency I also might add some lemon just to give it something. I’ve been keeping track of all the flavor combinations these bakers use in that Christmas cookie challenge show. I think that’s where you might get a little more sweetness. Let me know if you want me to give you the list of the flavor combinations. And I’m not sure if you have an email somewhere
I make these all the time, super easy. I also add orange zest, perfect cookie
Beth, you're such a great teacher. I own several of your Craftsy classes and I've become a better cake decorator thanks to you - THANK YOU!!
This is my go-to. Perfect.
Sometimes I have to chill it a bit but it doesn't matter to me. They are perfect. They hold their shape AND size perfectly.

Thank you, I was thinking about trying these however, no one has said if they taste good or not? So thank you!
just did this recipe. came out perfect! I used 3 cups of flour and minus the vanilla. thank you! !!!
I tried this and they did not retain the shape although the flavour is beeeautiful! and the consistency... amazing. I put them in the refrigerator for 30 min and it retained the shape better
Just made these, and they turned out perfect! I've never had luck with roll-out cookies, but this recipe did the trick! Thank you!

+pelogadi76 You're welcome!
after all time looking for no chill cookie dough .. finally i found it...
Does it have to be unsalted butter?
We use self rising flour in a lot of our baking. Do we HAVE 2 use all purpose flour or do we have 2 eliminate an ingredient? I love baking a lot, but have enough money, time or utensils 2 do it as much as I want 2. Y'all are 1 of my favorite recipe/cooking supply people and y'all rock. LOL.
Charlotte Manasco I only buy self rising and I don’t add salt or baking powders. My cookies, I have been told a lot of times, are amazing! They bake beautiful! Flat and don’t spread like I need them to decorate.
How long will frozen dough last? Is this a good recipe to freeze?
Omg, I need this recipe Beth
its in the description box
Can I use this recipe on my channel if I give you credit?

I only have salted butter can I omitt the salt instead
Do we really need to use merigne powder for Royal icing?
The " Hey guys Beth from the Wilton Test Kitchen" is somehow, comforting. I have fallen under your spell Wilton! X3

I just made these this week using the Wilton Ultimate Treat & Decorating Collection book😊
One question though, I want to make the chocolate ones and it says 3 squares of unsweetened chocolate and I was wondering how many chocolate chips that would be? Also I was wondering if I substituted unsweetened chocolate chips for semisweet chocolate chips how much sugar should I then use?

Do you need a paddle attachment to make these cookies because I don’t have a paddle attachment for my stand mixer?
Gonna try this recipe. Question: on another recipe, it requires baking soda vs powder. What's the difference? Thanks
If we want to make them chocolate cookies should I add chocolate or chocolate chips or coco powder????
