@@JuliaMUsher Sorry to jump on this thread but yes, you are a GREAT teacher! My granddaughter and me are going to move beyond our famous Christmas Caramels and make some cookies with your techniques - Thank you for making these WONDERFUL videos!
@@michaelnordstrom4245 Oh, thanks for jumping on! I really appreciate the kind words, and I really hope you and your granddaughter have a blast decorating together! That's really what decorating is all about! Happy holidays.
Ingredients: 2 lbs of powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar 5 large egg whites I would recommend flavoring with vanilla essence if you dont have flavouring
You taught this exactly the way I needed to hear it in order to learn. The tips on how the icing should fall from the spoon and how long it should take for the tracks to disappear... those are the kinds of things I find myself wondering about when I'm trying new techniques. Thank you so much!
I like how you explain the reason behind the ingredients and methods you use. Having an understanding of what you are doing, and more importantly, WHY you are doing it really helps in the kitchen.
I very much enjoy all of your tutorials, your teaching style is wonderful, it is as if we were just hanging out in your kitchen . You anticipate what questions the audience may have. Your style makes it easy for the audience to retain what you are teaching :) Thank you for all you share.
So often when I'm trying to find important information in UA-cam videos, no one ever answers the question/s I have. Thanks for giving me the information I needed, as well as a lot more important information I need to know when icing cookies. Thank you so much.
Your talent is so obviously something God has gifted you with. It’s simply of that level. The fact that you share your knowledge with the world shows that you deserve your talent plus all the praise and admiration you receive because of it. Thank you!
So I'm a chef. Kinda a chef kinda a student. So on Monday I was told i need to make a 100 Halloween themed cookies... for Tuesday. I never made royal icing before or know what the constancy must be. I had to make a quick batch with egg whites and icing sugar. 100 is a lot and they wanted a variety. I almost cried because i work at a 5 star hotel. So now I'm watching royal icing videos so I'll know better next time
We (my daughters and I) review your basic cookie decorating videos every year for our Christmas cookies, from parchment cones to marbling, and get great results every time. Your videos have the perfect amount of detail without information overload. They are well paced and illustrate the key steps well. Thanks so much!
Beautiful icing! And, you are a braver woman than I. Working around all that powdered sugar and sticky icing while wearing black and dark purple! Not even an apron! You go girl!
I can't thank you enough for your instruction. Easy to follow and understand with no distracting entertainment elements in your videos. I really love learning from your expertise. Thank you!
Julia you are AMAZING!!! I really admire your love, dedication, patience when teaching and passion in what you do! Thank you for sharing your secrets and not being selfish, you are an angel!!! Love you!!!!!!! God bless and keep up the amazing work! You truly stand out from the crowds!!! Kind regards Monica from Costa Rica :))
Seriously, who gives a thumbs down to this video. I found it so informative and look forward to using the recipes. Thank you for a clear and concise video.
My friend just asked me about how to make royal icing for sugar cookies and I remembered your name and the name of this video from like five years ago which is the last time I made those kind of cookies. But this video is the only video you will ever need. Thank you for having this available to everyone!
Julie, Thank you so much for being one of the few sugar artists on UA-cam who actually gives a recipe for royal icing that uses egg whites. Trying to get other sugar artists to respond with an egg white recipe is like pulling teeth. It is as if there is some deep dark mystery and terror surrounding the use of egg whites! LOL! Albumin powders and meringue powders are pound for pound INSANELY expensive in a lot of areas but most people can find regular eggs or even pasteurized eggs for a fraction of the cost of the powders. I certainly understand that commercial bakers may have to adhere to a different standards due to business health codes but the everyday baker appreciates that you have included a recipe with good old fashioned egg whites. I find your channel quite informative and extremely useful due to clear,concise and complete instructions.
Im a pastry chef for a country club and with Easter right around the corner I needed a refresher on Royal. this is exactly what I needed thankyou for your direct and down to earth approach to icing and consistency!
I spend hours watching your videos a few years ago so I could make some pokemon pokeball cookies. I had never successfully done outlining and flooding before. But, your teaching of what to look for made all the difference. I couldn't remember the name of your channel for years afterward, but today I finally found it again (subscribed so I won't lose it). Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom!
love love love this video!!! watched tons of other videos on royal icing you just cleared 100% of my doubt's and questions ! keep up the good work thanks Julia!! your great😊
Julia, I just start on cookies and your tutorials help me a lot, thank you for help people like me with your knowledge.You are the queen of the cookies very detailed and professional.
hi, you have taken me from NO knowledge at all! to being able to make biscuits, ice them to a stunning standard for decorating my daughters 21st catering table... I have gone with your beautiful small flower cookies, marbling xx thank you so much. If you ever find yourself in Dunedin, New Zealand! look me up and I will show you the sights here, as you have been so kind to share you talents.
Just made cookies with your cookie dough recipe. Delcious and I agree that thinner is better. Gives one a nice crisp and tasty cookie. Glad I purchased your book.
@@kasiaheadley5617 Hi Kasia. Are you looking for a no spread recipe? I love Preppy Kitchen's and use it exclusively now.

Hi julia I wanted to share that i watched this video and too notes.. i followed your recipe for icing and i have to tell you it was the best , best icing i ever made and my cookies came out FLAWLESS and i know it was because of your recipe. Thank u so much .
You are the first person who says the royal icing recipe with egg whites it's better, and I agree! Thanks for the whole explanation of consistency it helps me a lot! ;) I'm a truly fan! ;)
What a GREAT video! I've been watching people use royal icing outlining and flooding on IG videos for a while, but am ACTUALLY doing it for the first time as a cake topper. This video was comprehensive, real, well-thought out and easy to understand. Thank you so much!
All your cookies look amazingly done! I've never ever been able to properly make royal icing, hopefully in a couple days that will change -- Thank you!!!
I understand a little little english but i try folow yours recipes because I love cooking cokies. I learn so much with yours videos. You are an artist.
You are very good at details and explaining because I’m here to learn at a beginners pace, so I found the holy grail of sugar cookie decorating!! Thank you!!!
hello! question: are you, or have you ever been a teacher? i loved this video. and not only because of the fact that i was interested in the content, but because you teach so well. your eloquence and sentence structure added to the amount of detail in one statement is bite-sized in a way, but also very comprehensible. *_LOL._* so... basically... i love that your teaching is like your baking. it's artful. precise. mindful of pitfalls in understanding and perception. so... funny how this realization also convinces me that your baking is delicious!!! if you are now, or ever were a teacher, tell the truth, did my lack of capitalization peeve you?
Your videos have inspired me to try cookies for the first time. I was always intimidated by cutout cookies, and royal icing was terrifying! Now, I'm almost ready to tackle something more technical, like 3-D teacups! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
hi Julia, I just love, love,love your tutorials! sorry if it's been asked before..I would like to know if it's recommended to make this in advance and have it stored in the fridge. And once it's ready to be used, do I just let it sit at room temp and beat it again?
I found your channel just today & have been binge watching your videos for 3 hours now. I feel so inspired & I'm in awe of your wealth of knowledge. I can't wait to try some of these skills out. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
This my first time making royal icing thank you for your video, I was actually stressed out about the icing til I found your video. So thank you ! ( I really do need to chill out lol)
I love your tutorials. I'm a visual learner and these are great. I also like to know the technical aspect of decorating and design which is very clear in your videos as well.
Hi Julia, my daughter and I love your videos. We starting making cookies and they look great, but we are having trouble making black colored royal icing and also red. Do you have any advice?
You made the perfect video for me from the icing recipe, flavoring, and consistency. Perfect!! Your video was also to the point and not long. I didn't want to skip ahead. I am very grateful that you made this. thank you!!
I love watching and listening to your videos. I am not a cookie maker, but I can translate much of what you suggest into soap making. You've helped me tremendously. Thank you Julia!
I translate the designs into soap, and have begun making Soap Cookies, so watching you make cookies, rolling the dough out translates clearly to soap dough. I'm working on piping soap, but for now I hand paint and hand mold all designs. I like what you said, "not a gadget" person, and except for stencils and cookie cutters, I'm not either and would rather find a way to make something with less "stuff". The stencils translate well into soap too, and liked watching you do it, which helped me. Thank you!
This might be due to the fact that I am also a mechanical engineer, but her descriptions are incredibly clear and helpful. Easily the best channel I’ve found for baking/decorating related content.
My name is not Windell, thats my hubby. LOL! Its not letting me commnt under my name...anyway, just wanted to say I have been "studying" your videos for 2 weeks now and I'm ready to dive in. My kitchen is a mess and cookies and frosting cups every where. You are a true artist and I can't wait to try your techniques! Your creations are exquisite and you are a very talented teacher as well, very easy to learn from...Thank You!
What an excellent video. I want to make cookies shaped like petri dishes for my last day of clinicals and this video provided me with exactly the info I needed. Thank you! Will be watching more.
Wow you teach so well! I made my cookies last night and it was too late for me to start on my icing. I pasteurized my own eggs and im rewatching your helpful videos so i can get it right lol. You also teach the way my culinary teacher did. Super patient and explained everything in a way that anyone can understand. Cant wait to watch your mote advanced videos.
It's does not taste like egg? I always make my royal icing with the powder one, but it not has that 'glue' feeling, but I'm worry about the taste or an after taste, thank you, you are a goddess 😘
Thank you Julie! I have watched this video so many times throughout the years. I really appreciate your talent and the way in which you teach. Liz McLaughlin
Ms. Usher, Thank you for sharing you royal icing tutorial with my daughter and myself. Your video was wonderfully clarifying and detailed. She wants to become a pastry chef and your tutorials on baking are very helpful for her.
Thank you so much for all of your beautiful work and very good explanation on how to make and to use royal icing for cookies decoration. I feel that you put a lot of love, ❤on everything you do. Congratulations.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I never really understood the difference between royal icing and confectioner's before, and always wondered why the icing I used didn't work in the same way as in tutorials, tried it with your recipe and it was awesome, Thank You!
First time viewer. I'm so glad I ran across you video. I decided to make sugar cookies for the Christmas holiday and I needed a good icing for them. I love how you made the steps so easy to follow, even for us guys out here. Not much of a cook or baker, but I have to give it a go. Your video on making sugar cookies was my inspiration. Can't wait to see how the wife and kids like them. Fingers crossed for this little adventure. Thank you Julia.
Usa Aquafaba (the liquid that chickpeas are soaked in) It works the same, cheap, humane, and NO RISK OF SALMONELLA! You can make it your self or buy a can or two of chickpeas (make sure they're salt free) and use the amount she said to use for the egg beaters
Thanks so much for responding so quickly. I have been wanting to work with royal icing and I am getting a good start. I really like tour cookie creations. They are simply beautiful. I hope to be able to have the time to get better at it. Thanks. I covered the icing and did what you said. I deco my nieces cake tonight. Im excited and will keep you posted.😃
I used your recipe last year and it worked wonderfully! I am watching this video again cause I can wait to make more cookies this year! Thanks so much!!
Please don’t ever delete this video. Every time I make sugar cookies, I watch it. 🤣
But do people actually like the taste. Makes cookies look pretty but I'd never eat it and can't imagine my family would either
I’ve been back multiple times too! 😅
Me too!
@@lifematters1234you can flavor it after beating. I like fresh squeezed lemon. There’s all kind of flavors of extracts.
Ahha that’s what I’m doing now! …for the third year in a row🤣
You know that if it’s from 6 years ago you can trust it😊
I hope so! :)

Ingredients:
2 lbs of powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar
5 large egg whites
I would recommend flavoring with vanilla essence if you dont have flavouring
Halo, how about 2lbs ( how many?)
Thanks for sharing...will you be able to bag these cookies without frosting getting on bags meaning will it set or garden some
I'm not sure sorry

I’m watching this 5 years later and it’s still the best tutorial there is! So informational I love it
I love how you actually educate everyone who doesn't know as much about baking and also how you add in the alternatives! You just gained a new sub! :)
Julia Usher, watching your videos is an annual holiday event! Thank you!

I had 3 failed batches of RI until I came upon your videos. THANK YOU! Happy to say I'm watching my first successful batch of cookies dry!
This is an amazing recipe. It was so easy. I couldn't believe how well it worked. You are a great instructor.
I have a question. Cause my iceing doesn't get hard on the cookies
And is also crunchy
What am I doing wrong?
Seriously, who gives a thumbs down to this video. I found it so informative and look forward to using the recipes. Thank you for a clear and concise video.

Linnetta Navarro Agreed! I thought I missed the memo on if they actually tell us the recipe, they would have to kill us.
A lot of times bakers avoid eggs so people with egg allergy can enjoy it. This way they reach more clientele with the same product.

Raw egg whites aren't bad, but raw flour is, so it's still not the best idea but I think flour still isn't THAT bad

I never really understood the difference between royal icing and confectioner's before, and always wondered why the icing I used didn't work in the same way as in tutorials, tried it with your recipe and it was awesome, Thank You!
*Me making a single batch of cookies*
"Two pounds of sugar" Oh... ok...
This recipe will ice more than a single batch of cookies, if that's what you're getting at . . .
you can cut recipe in half

wow i like it so much i will supscribe!
i need you to know how much i appreciate you. I feel like I'm getting paid for information. Thank you soooo much for sharing your gift! God bless u!
every thing is royal thats so funny for me
First time viewer. I'm so glad I ran across you video. I decided to make sugar cookies for the Christmas holiday and I needed a good icing for them. I love how you made the steps so easy to follow, even for us guys out here. Not much of a cook or baker, but I have to give it a go. Your video on making sugar cookies was my inspiration. Can't wait to see how the wife and kids like them. Fingers crossed for this little adventure. Thank you Julia.
Usa Aquafaba (the liquid that chickpeas are soaked in)
It works the same, cheap, humane, and NO RISK OF SALMONELLA! You can make it your self or buy a can or two of chickpeas (make sure they're salt free) and use the amount she said to use for the egg beaters
mahoraner niall my husband is allergic to chick peas. I would never have thought to have him ask about a frosted cookie. Thanks for the info.
Thanks so much for responding so quickly. I have been wanting to work with royal icing and I am getting a good start. I really like tour cookie creations. They are simply beautiful. I hope to be able to have the time to get better at it. Thanks. I covered the icing and did what you said. I deco my nieces cake tonight. Im excited and will keep you posted.😃
This is the third year coming back to this video. Every Christmas I need a reminder ❤
So glad you're back! Happy holidays!
I used your recipe last year and it worked wonderfully! I am watching this video again cause I can wait to make more cookies this year! Thanks so much!!
