Hi Stephanie: I used your recipe for cokies and icing last Christmas and let the grandkids cut out , mix and decorate. And they want to do it again. Love your videos and without them I would not be able to create wonderful memories with my little kiddies. Thank you for sharing your recipes and your talent.🥰
I absolutely love that!! I have so many fond memories of baking and cooking with my mom and now with my own kids, I think it's so special and that warms my heart so much ❤️ I just know they'll remember those moments forever!! You are such a great person for doing that with them 🥰
I just found your site and watched the Christmas set you did with the Christmas tree cookie cutter. I ordered it and made your no spread cookie recipe. I then made your royal icing recipe. I did not have butter emulsion so I substituted with pumpkin spice emulsion. I love the even roll out of your dough. I made two batches of the cookies and baked the Christmas tree cookies today. I will put them in the freezer until ready to decorate. I also made a batch of pumpkin pie and latte cookies for Thanksgiving and iced with your royal icing. They are delicious with the soft bite as you described. Your videos are so easy to follow and presentation is very calming. I have been decorating cookies for many years and have learned a great deal watching you work. I appreciate your time and talent and willingness to share with the cookier community.
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your comment ❤️❤️ I'm sure the cookies will be such a great hit at Thanksgiving and Christmas!! The Christmas tree ones are some of my favourite designs I've done!!
My hubby has zero interest in cookies or decorating them, but he watches these videos, completely mesmerized. Such powers, you have, Stephanie. :) Thank you for your wonderful channel and gracious sharing of recipes and teaching at no cost to us. It speaks volumes about you.
Stephanie, I want to say thank you for your great videos. I discovered them about a year ago and have used your sugar cookie recipe many times since. Now I'll have to add the cornstarch! Thanks very much for sharing your trade secrets and not charging people or doing an expensive course. It's really appreciated!
Thank you so much for all your support 🥰🥰 and I always want to make it as accessible to everyone as possible, so my goal is always to provide as much free content as I can 😄
Thank you so much for explaining it step. I'm going to throw away my old recipe and go head first into yours. Before I even try your recipe I can tell the flavor is going to be better. I love making cookie bouquets but I really wasn't wild about the flavor. Thank you for the corn starch trick. Can't wait to try this recipe. 😍
Stephanie, I'm the baker in the family. I stumbled onto one of your videos last year. Before that I had never heard of Royal Icing. Now I'm hooked. The creative things one can do is endless! I had been using an old sugar cookie recipe and just figured it was natural to have to use the cookie cutter to trim each cookie as soon as they came out of the oven. Saw this video and can't wait to do it the right way. Thank you!
I just made a double batch of these today!! Forgot the butter emulsion so subbed Almond extract. Delicious!! Will decorate them Sunday after church. Thanks so much for taking the time to post the videos and for answering all my questions!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was so informative. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and helping others learn. Im making these today I’ll get back on and comment and let you know how we did. Thx again
Thank you so very much for sharing your wisdom, knowledge and recipe for sugar cookies and royal icing 😋. Yummy !! Cookies turned out great. It will take me some time to learn how to flood cookies . I am happy with my results. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️
My mother in law made cookies for my kids and all the grandkids for the last 25 years. My girls still come home to decorate cookies that she send us. (25 yo and married and 18 yo) Last year my mother in law moved and passed down the cookie making to me. I've always disliked the taste of her cookie recipe but never told her 😂(I know, it's awful, but i didn't want to hurt her feelings) When I got handed the tradition, I went on a mission to find a new recipe. I'm making your recipe today. I've watched the video of this and the royal icing 4 times and purchased all the extra ingredients that I didn't already have on hand (like the butter emulsion and meringue powder for royal icing). I did want to tell you, One thing I did buy a few years ago is the kitchenaid paddle attachment with the spatula on the edges that scrapes the sides while it's mixing. It's been a game changer for any baking I do. Anyway, thanks for this!! Excited to try a new recipe and continue this family tradition.
That is amazing (and hilarious at the same time!!). I hope you love the recipe and the royal icing recipe too!! And what an honour if it those become your new tradition! I think it's so sweet she did that and now you continue to as well! I definitely think those little traditions really stick with the kids and grandkids and really are what make Christmas special! I always thought about getting that scraper for the paddle but never got around to getting it. Maybe I'll gift it to myself this Christmas haha
I never comment on videos but this and your royal icing are the best recipes I’ve tried and I did try others and it just didn’t work out. Thank you so much for your recipes and clear instructions! You’ve made cookie decorating much easier for me
Hi! When grandma taught me how to bake cutout cookies, she would (and I still do) roll out the dough ON the cookie sheet. Cut out cookies. Gently remove *scraps*. This was the only way we got a few cookies that actually looked like they were supposed to! ~S
Yes 🙌 you can do this!! I know of lots or cookiers that have started with my videos, and after making some cookies, word of mouth got out and they started a business! And some are the most amazing cookie artists now, way more talented than me! Sometimes you just need that confidence to get started and then there's no stopping you!!
I always use your cookie recipe! I typically use the older one you’ve had on your channel and it’s always delicious. How does this one compare to the older recipes you’ve had?
Thank you so much!! This one has cornstarch in it, which helps give the cookies a softer bite, helps with spreading and I find also keeps them fresher longer because of the softer bite. This is one of the biggest changes to this recipe!
You are such a wonderful teacher, and your recipe looks amazing! Lilaloa 2.0 has been a favorite of mine for years, can't wait to try your modifications. Thank you for sharing so generously ❤
Thank you so very much for this video! I just love it! I love how detailed you explained and how beautifully recorded step by step… I love it! I have always wanted to learn how to make these. I love how you showed to use the mixer and the rolling pin. Im definitely gonna try these for Christmas! Thank you! God Bless! 🙏🥰💐💖
I love this updated version of the cookie recipe. I had quit using dark brown sugar, because I was getting to many brown spots in them. I am going to be making Winter ONEderland cookies for my grandson's January birthday! So, I will definitely be buying this rolling pin! Thank you for sharing.
So happy you love it! What a great theme, your grandson will be one lucky boy!! And don't let those little chunks of brown sugar deter you from using it, I find dark brown sugar gives the cookies so much flavour! And to be honest, I actually like those little chunks haha like little sweet surprises in my cookies 😁
@@LittleCookieCo they came out beautifully! The shape holds really good and the taste, oh my! Golden, crispy edge and soft middle 👌 Thank you once again! 🥰
Thank you so much Stephanie for your wonderful videos. You explain everything in a calm way and make it so easy to follow instructions. I’m looking forward to making your cookies for Christmas and follow your icing video you explained so beautifully. Most appreciative and merry Christmas from Australia 🇦🇺. God bless 🙏🏻
Thank you so much!! Appreciate the support all the way from the other side of me (in Canada!!). Hope you enjoy the cookies and have a very Merry Christmas as well!!
Thank you so much for posting this video! Very helpful! But as I was following the written directions posted below the video, I got a little confused. I believe steps 9 and 10 should be swapped ? Liked and Subbed :D
I can't wait to try your recipe, it looks so much different then others with the golden brown yumminess. Hopefully I'll be making a batch come Christmas time, with your icing recipe, cuz that butter emulsion GIRL I can't wait!! Ty so much for sharing 💙💙
The brown sugar is key!!! Is it a cookie recipe without it??!!! It gives the golden colour and that nice caramelized bottom plus the buttery flavour, put some icing on it and it's soooo good!!! Hope you love it ❤️❤️
Hi Stephanie, so interesting...I was literally just thinking about your recipe that i tried last year for a function only to see that you literally just uploaded a new video...talk about blessings! Thank you so much! You've always been so awesome! I am looking forward to sharing this set as well! ❤️Jeremiah 29:11 & John 3:16!
That's so awesome, glad it was perfect timing!! This one I've tweaked a bit more by adding corn starch and gives it that nice soft bit but not too soft that you can't pack of box them! Hope you love it as much as the first one!!
I only make sugar cookies for fun, I have my first order in a few days and although i was hesitant on whether to use this recipe or the one i always make, I decided on making this recipe the cookies look great! I’m sure mine will turn out great too ❤
Yay!! I hope you love them and so do your customers!! And congratulations on your first order, that's amazing! It's a scary step, but you'll do amazing!
These are delicious, I gave them a try but had texture on top after baking. Not sure but they are going to a school so I’ll ok with that lol Thanks for the recipe
Sometimes if you roll the dough several times the dough can get a texture look to it (but nothing to worry about as the taste is just fine). That's why I like to put my scraps aside and then roll them after so I'm rolling the dough the least amount of times. Sometimes it's just the environment too, and messes with our baking! But wouldn't wory about it at all especially if you are decorating them, it will all be hidden!
@ makes sense. I re made another set and quickly rolled and cut out my shaped. Put in the fridge for and hour so I’m hoping they’ll be smooth. If not they truly are delish !
Hi there! Have you ever used salted butter, and if so, what changes to recipe should I consider doing? Thank you so much for such a comprehensive baking tutorial! Love 🎉❤!!!
I have not, I normally always by unsalted butter. But if that's all you have on hand, I would just say to leave out the salt in the recipe and you should be good!
You're welcome! I don't have a video on that, but I suggest you roll out your dough like an inch or two thick in a rectangle and then wrap the dough in saran wrap, and this way they stack really well and will defrost quicker and evenly when you're ready to use it!
I have non stick pans so they don't stick and I Iike to have some colour on the bottom of my cookies. I also find they bake a little faster without parchment paper!
This is what I have been looking for. Thank you so much for sharing 😊❤. Be more bless. You just gain a subscriber 😂🎉😅. I love you and I enjoy your contains 😊
Just used your new/updated recipe. I loved working with it. So easy to work with. Question. Can this be refrigerated/frozen and for how long? Is it better to make cookies then freeze or freeze the dough? Was thinking I would get started on the Christmas batches. Thank you!🥰
The dough can be frozen, but I personally prefer to bake the cookies and freeze them already baked. The reason being is I find that frozen dough is a bit harder to roll as it is stiff. Plus I think it's less work to bake and then decorate at a later date vs having to roll and decorate later! You can also freeze decorated cookies and they keep well!!
I would say a week or 2 max for freshness ive eaten older ones with no issues, but its good to have them fresh for guests! I usually try to have them eaten within the week and freeze if not!
Can I make a bunch of batches of dough , and leave it on counter wrapped up and than roll it out later ? I really hate to put a bunch of dough in to the fridge
I’ll definitely be trying this! Looks so yummy :) Oh and just a heads up, you can adjust the mixer a bit with a little screw, I think maybe on the underside of the part that lifts up; it’s been years since I did it so I’m not certain anymore, but I’m sure there’s a video on UA-cam somewhere! It allows the beaters to reach the bottom of the bowl so you’re not left with unmixed ingredients :)
Hi!! I am going to be adventurous this year and do some snow globe decorated cookies as Christmas gifts. First let me say thank you for doing these videos!!! I appreciate them so much!!! Second, two questions.......is it All Purpose flour in the cookie recipe above and in the icing recipe on your other video what brand of meringue powder do you use? I didn't see it in your Amazon store and the reviews and prices vary a great deal. I'm looking at Genie's Dream simply because of the reviews. Thank you SO MUCH and Merry Christmas!!!
Oh how awesome!! Everyone will love the cookies, how great to give as gifts!! Yes, all-purpose flour is used for the cookies and for the meringue powder, I get it online from a store called Flour Confections. I've used Genie's Dream and it's great too, however it's hard for me to get here in Canada as they don't deliver here so I don't use it anymore
@@LittleCookieCo I have a couple other questions...is the brown sugar in this recipe 1 cup packed? Can this dough be made a few days ahead and stored in the fridge? Thanks!!!
Yes, packed brown sugar!!! And I prefer to bake the dough right away because it's easier to roll out and cracks less but you can leave it in the fridge for a day or so and should be fien!
Thanks for the recipe! I’ve been trying to look for a good sugar cookie. I’ve made sugar cookies before but they always seem to taste like flour, quite bland and seem a little underbaked. Looking forward to trying this recipe out! Does this go well with fondant?
I first roll all the dough from the mixing bowl, then set aside the scraps. Then once I'm done with all the mixing bowl dough, I'll start rolling my scraps out and repeat the process til it's all done! This just helps the same price of dough from being rolled out a lot of times, which sometimes cause big bubbles to form on the surface or even cookies to spread!
Do you add the butter emulsion to make up for using less butter? I notice most recipes use 2 cups of butter to 5-6 cups of flour. Also, you mentioned putting the leftover cutout dough in a bowl. What do you do with it?
I just find it enhances the flavour of the cookies. There is a lot of flour so the cookies don't spread, and sometimes it makes it lack a little depth of flavour and this butter flavour is just so subtle it helps bring out the best flavours in the cookie. I also use it in my icing and it pairs so well with the cookie! I'll put my scraps aside until I've rolled all my dough and then I will go to my scraps and start rolling that. This way I'm not rolling some dough way more times than necessary which can cause bubbles on the surface of the cookie.
I'm not a big fan of refrigerating before rolling as I find it really hard to roll the cold dough, but you can refrigerate the cutouts and that should help no to add excess flour!
hey Stephanie! I'm wondering why is it that when i cook my cookies they turn hard after 5-10 minutes? Please let me know, and help me find a solution for it? Anyways i love your channel it helps me alot!❤
Are they hard when you bite into them, or just seem hard when you hold them? They need to be sturdy cookies because when you decorate them, if they're soft they will break the icing designs. These sometimes feel hard, but once they are decorated with icing, they tend to soften a little, but they normally should be hard to bite into!
@@LittleCookieCo yea they're hard when I bite into them after a few minutes, but it you said if I put the icing then it'll soften then maybe that's the solution. Thanks!!
Can you tell me how many grams the cup has? I come from a different country than you and here it is measured in grams. I was looking for information but it is different. The cookies look wonderful. Thank you!
I prefer dark because I feel like it browns the cookies better and baked a little faster than my aluminum lighter ones. But it's really your preference. If you don't want dark bottoms, lighter would he the way to go or use parchment paper!
Hi, I noticed you don’t use parchment paper or a silpat under your cookies while baking, can you explain why just placing it on the baking sheet? Is there no need for parchment paper? thank you for a helpful video!
I usually take my butter out and cut it up in chunks and then go grab my mixer and my ingredients and get everything set up and then start. So it's not too long but not straight out of the fridge
I've got it linked in the description of the video in my amazon shop. Hopefully it will work for you, or you can search up online Rolling Pin with Guides and see if it pops up!
I usually take it out of the fridge and then get my mixer out and get my other ingredients ready then cut the butter up in chunks and that's usually good enough! Sometimes if it's too cold the mixer can't mix it well so I chop it up to help it along a bit!
It depends how thick your cookies are, if you want them more crispy, it's best to roll them thinner and cook for 13 or so minutes. I usually bake them for about 10 minutes and then keep checking on them and when the edges are golden you know there good!
Sometimes it happens if you roll the dough too much or there's too much flour or they've dried out a bit. Did you roll between parchment paper or add flour when rolling? The bubbles can be flattened when they come out of the oven you can poke them with a toothpick and push them flat.
What a fabulous tutorial! Can I please ask are these cookies suitable for coating with fondant rather than royal icing please? I am just wondering if they might be a bit soft if coating in fondant rather than firm royal icing? Thank you!
Even though they are a softer bite they still are quite sturdy. I've never tried with fondant, but I think they would be sturdy enough, because I've bagged and transported these cookies quire easily. Just make sure to bake them through if you cut them thicker so they aren't too soft in the middle!

That's why I like to put my scraps aside and then roll them after so I'm rolling the dough the least amount of times. Sometimes it's just the environment too, and messes with our baking! But wouldn't wory about it at all especially if you are decorating them, it will all be hidden!
@ makes sense. I re made another set and quickly rolled and cut out my shaped. Put in the fridge for and hour so I’m hoping they’ll be smooth. If not they truly are delish !
Let me know how it went!! Hopefully they turned our better, but regardless, they will still taste amazing 🥰
Hi there! Have you ever used salted butter, and if so, what changes to recipe should I consider doing? Thank you so much for such a comprehensive baking tutorial! Love 🎉❤!!!
I have not, I normally always by unsalted butter. But if that's all you have on hand, I would just say to leave out the salt in the recipe and you should be good!
I love your last cookie recipe, excited to try this one! Would It be able to freeze well? I’m planning to make cookies for an event in about a week.
Yes! They freeze really well!!
Can you tell me what's the difference between sugar cookies and butter cookies?
If u don't have butter emulsion do you have to add more vanilla to make up for the butter emulsion not being added?
No, you can keep the same amount of vanilla!
Wow. Thanks for the video. 🎉
You're very welcome 🥰❤️
Thank you for this. Do you have a video on how you roll and freeze large batches of dough?
You're welcome! I don't have a video on that, but I suggest you roll out your dough like an inch or two thick in a rectangle and then wrap the dough in saran wrap, and this way they stack really well and will defrost quicker and evenly when you're ready to use it!
thank you for the recipe can you have another video of how to make the icing.
You're very welcome!! And I do have a video on my royal icing, you can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/HxGBClkllNE/v-deo.html
Great video - thanks for sharing ☺ May I ask why you don't use baking paper to bake them on? Thanks in advance ;-)
I have non stick pans so they don't stick and I Iike to have some colour on the bottom of my cookies. I also find they bake a little faster without parchment paper!
This is what I have been looking for. Thank you so much for sharing 😊❤. Be more bless. You just gain a subscriber 😂🎉😅. I love you and I enjoy your contains 😊
Thank you so much 🥰 I appreciate that!! God Bless you too ❤️
I could watch you make these all day! 😂 #Sugar #Delicious
Aww thank you 🥰❤️
Just used your new/updated recipe. I loved working with it. So easy to work with. Question. Can this be refrigerated/frozen and for how long? Is it better to make cookies then freeze or freeze the dough? Was thinking I would get started on the Christmas batches. Thank you!🥰
The dough can be frozen, but I personally prefer to bake the cookies and freeze them already baked. The reason being is I find that frozen dough is a bit harder to roll as it is stiff. Plus I think it's less work to bake and then decorate at a later date vs having to roll and decorate later! You can also freeze decorated cookies and they keep well!!
@@LittleCookieCo, how long can decorated cookies last in a container and leave it on the counter top ?
I would say a week or 2 max for freshness ive eaten older ones with no issues, but its good to have them fresh for guests! I usually try to have them eaten within the week and freeze if not!
Can I make a bunch of batches of dough , and leave it on counter wrapped up and than roll it out later ? I really hate to put a bunch of dough in to the fridge
Is the butter unsalted? Can I use salted? If so, should I omit the salt? Thanks in advance for replies.
I use unsalted, but if you want to use salted I would leave the salt out!
I’ll definitely be trying this! Looks so yummy :) Oh and just a heads up, you can adjust the mixer a bit with a little screw, I think maybe on the underside of the part that lifts up; it’s been years since I did it so I’m not certain anymore, but I’m sure there’s a video on UA-cam somewhere! It allows the beaters to reach the bottom of the bowl so you’re not left with unmixed ingredients :)
Thank you!!! I'll have to check, I think mine may need some adjusting!!!
Thank you for this great video Stephanie! May I please ask what size bowl you are using? Is it 7 or 5 or 3 quart? Thanks
I'm using the 7 quart bowl! And thank you, I'm so glad you enjoy the video!
Hi!! I am going to be adventurous this year and do some snow globe decorated cookies as Christmas gifts. First let me say thank you for doing these videos!!! I appreciate them so much!!! Second, two questions.......is it All Purpose flour in the cookie recipe above and in the icing recipe on your other video what brand of meringue powder do you use? I didn't see it in your Amazon store and the reviews and prices vary a great deal. I'm looking at Genie's Dream simply because of the reviews. Thank you SO MUCH and Merry Christmas!!!
Oh how awesome!! Everyone will love the cookies, how great to give as gifts!! Yes, all-purpose flour is used for the cookies and for the meringue powder, I get it online from a store called Flour Confections. I've used Genie's Dream and it's great too, however it's hard for me to get here in Canada as they don't deliver here so I don't use it anymore
@@LittleCookieCo Thanks again!! I have family in Canada...Whitby and Ontario.
@@LittleCookieCo I have a couple other questions...is the brown sugar in this recipe 1 cup packed? Can this dough be made a few days ahead and stored in the fridge? Thanks!!!
Yes, packed brown sugar!!! And I prefer to bake the dough right away because it's easier to roll out and cracks less but you can leave it in the fridge for a day or so and should be fien!
@@LittleCookieCo Thank you so much, I'll be making these hopefully this weekend!!!
Thanks for the recipe! I’ve been trying to look for a good sugar cookie. I’ve made sugar cookies before but they always seem to taste like flour, quite bland and seem a little underbaked. Looking forward to trying this recipe out! Does this go well with fondant?
I like to slightly brown my cookies and feel that helps with the flavor as well!! And I've never tried it with fondant, but imagine it would!
Awesome! Can’t wait to try this recipe this weekend! When do you roll and bake the dough that was on the plate?
I first roll all the dough from the mixing bowl, then set aside the scraps. Then once I'm done with all the mixing bowl dough, I'll start rolling my scraps out and repeat the process til it's all done! This just helps the same price of dough from being rolled out a lot of times, which sometimes cause big bubbles to form on the surface or even cookies to spread!
@ thank you 💕
You're welcome 🥰
Thank you for this recipe. Has anyone tried this in grams please? For a cup of flour can be 128g or 150g 😅 I just wanna get it right. 😁
I bought butter and vanilla emulsion will that work cuz I couldn’t find just butter
Yes! That will work. Sometimes the butter gets sold out quickly!!
Do you add the butter emulsion to make up for using less butter? I notice most recipes use 2 cups of butter to 5-6 cups of flour.
Also, you mentioned putting the leftover cutout dough in a bowl. What do you do with it?
I just find it enhances the flavour of the cookies. There is a lot of flour so the cookies don't spread, and sometimes it makes it lack a little depth of flavour and this butter flavour is just so subtle it helps bring out the best flavours in the cookie. I also use it in my icing and it pairs so well with the cookie! I'll put my scraps aside until I've rolled all my dough and then I will go to my scraps and start rolling that. This way I'm not rolling some dough way more times than necessary which can cause bubbles on the surface of the cookie.
Amazing.
Thank you 🥰
As opposed to adding more flour would refrigerating the dough prior to rolling it out work?
I'm not a big fan of refrigerating before rolling as I find it really hard to roll the cold dough, but you can refrigerate the cutouts and that should help no to add excess flour!
If I make the cookies can I put them in a container and do the icing the next day? Or do I put the baked cookies in the freezer?
Yup! I usually bake one day and decorate over the next 3 days or so!
@ , is butter and vanilla emulsion ok to use I can’t find the butter only so I am confused on how much to put in the dough?
hey Stephanie! I'm wondering why is it that when i cook my cookies they turn hard after 5-10 minutes? Please let me know, and help me find a solution for it? Anyways i love your channel it helps me alot!❤
Are they hard when you bite into them, or just seem hard when you hold them? They need to be sturdy cookies because when you decorate them, if they're soft they will break the icing designs. These sometimes feel hard, but once they are decorated with icing, they tend to soften a little, but they normally should be hard to bite into!
@@LittleCookieCo yea they're hard when I bite into them after a few minutes, but it you said if I put the icing then it'll soften then maybe that's the solution. Thanks!!
Can you tell me how many grams the cup has? I come from a different country than you and here it is measured in grams. I was looking for information but it is different. The cookies look wonderful. Thank you!
You could probably get the conversation online
@@ceceliabeck8967 I searched, but the data provided is different :-(
Google will give you conversions. I use it all of the time
What can I use as a substitute for butter emulsion?
Thanks
You can leave it out, or use almond extract or whichever flavour you'd like instead!
Thanks for this recipe. Do you need to sift your dry ingredients?
Nope, no need to sift anything! I like to keep it as simple as possible and dirty the least amount of dishes 😄
Is it better to bake sugar cookies on a dark or light cookie sheet?
I prefer dark because I feel like it browns the cookies better and baked a little faster than my aluminum lighter ones. But it's really your preference. If you don't want dark bottoms, lighter would he the way to go or use parchment paper!
Hi, I noticed you don’t use parchment paper or a silpat under your cookies while baking, can you explain why just placing it on the baking sheet? Is there no need for parchment paper? thank you for a helpful video!
I use a non stick baking sheet so never really need parchment paper. And I like that the bottoms brown a bit as well!
I can’t get cornstarch easily. Are there any substitutes for cornstarch?
You can leave it out. I've made it for years without!
Do you use light brown sugar or dark? Hard to tell in the video? Thanks
I prefer dakr brown, but you can use light brown if you don't have any
Hi Stephanie! Thank you for sharing this 💗Have you ever tried doing a fall dough flavor?
I haven't yet!! I'm not very adventurous with flavours cause everyone loves these so I just stick with it 😅
Is your butter cold right out of the fridge or should it sit out for a while first?
I usually take my butter out and cut it up in chunks and then go grab my mixer and my ingredients and get everything set up and then start. So it's not too long but not straight out of the fridge
No es posible leerlas tus Recetas en Español??Feliz dia🎉
Do you use a cup of packed brown sugar? Can’t wait to make this recipe!
Yup! Packed brown sugar goodness 😄🥰
I live in Australia so where could I purchase the rolling pin please. Thank you for your most informative and calm video. 🙏🏻🇦🇺🌸🥰🎄
I've got it linked in the description of the video in my amazon shop. Hopefully it will work for you, or you can search up online Rolling Pin with Guides and see if it pops up!
Can this recipe be done with gluten free flour? I find pilsbury bakes well just wanted to know your thoughts. I love your videos.
Thank you! I've never baked with gluten free flour, so I'm not sure, but worth trying a small batch!!
Is it packed brown sugar? Thank you
Yes, packed brown sugar!!
@LittleCookieCo thank you
Hi, thanks for the recipe this looks really good. May i ask for the weight in grams please
If you don't mind my asking what brand of Butter Emulsion do you use? I have found them all so far to be really awful.
I use Lorann'a and love the flavour!
@@LittleCookieCoThank you 😊
You're welcome!
Is there a correct temperature for the cold butter?
I usually take it out of the fridge and then get my mixer out and get my other ingredients ready then cut the butter up in chunks and that's usually good enough! Sometimes if it's too cold the mixer can't mix it well so I chop it up to help it along a bit!
What is butter emmulsion 0:55
Flavoring..available at Joann's, michaels, grocery stores
Yummy!
🥰🥰
12:23 Ascared….lol! We say that here in Pittsburgh, where are you from?
🤣🤣 I didn't even realize I said that!! I'm from Canada 😆😆
Do you use salted or unsalted butter? Also, what type of flour?
I use unsalted butter and all purpose flour!
How long should the cookies bake for a crunchy version sometimes soft and chewy is not a fan
It depends how thick your cookies are, if you want them more crispy, it's best to roll them thinner and cook for 13 or so minutes. I usually bake them for about 10 minutes and then keep checking on them and when the edges are golden you know there good!
my cookie cracked and little bubbles on surface after baking. do you know the reason?? ㅠㅠ
Sometimes it happens if you roll the dough too much or there's too much flour or they've dried out a bit. Did you roll between parchment paper or add flour when rolling? The bubbles can be flattened when they come out of the oven you can poke them with a toothpick and push them flat.
Thank you very much for this recipe, but please provide the measurement in gram. Thanks
Hi, I was wondering what type of flour do you use ?
I use all purpose flour 😊
Sorry please forgive me 🙏🏼 but please can you also share a chocolate cookie dough 😁
Unfortunately, I don't have a chocolate recipe yet, I'm going to have to work on one!!
Do you use salted or unsalted butter?
Unsalted!!
Are these large eggs or medium? please
Large!!
А можно рецепт с переводом пожалуйста?😊
What a fabulous tutorial! Can I please ask are these cookies suitable for coating with fondant rather than royal icing please? I am just wondering if they might be a bit soft if coating in fondant rather than firm royal icing? Thank you!
Even though they are a softer bite they still are quite sturdy. I've never tried with fondant, but I think they would be sturdy enough, because I've bagged and transported these cookies quire easily. Just make sure to bake them through if you cut them thicker so they aren't too soft in the middle!
Thank you very much!
You're very welcome 🥰
Is that dark brown sugar or light?
Dark brown!!
