I’m a professional cake decorator and these are now my most “Asked for” cookie. I make these (have found I need to squish them down and not leave in a ball) I make a cream cheese Frosting with custard powder to put on top and they are heaven! They are good by themselves but add a buttercream or cream cheese frosting and “Magic” happens! Be warned they will be your most requested cookie by your sugar cookie lovers! They are a little time consuming but worth the extra time for sure. I no longer make sugar cookies Cz these take the cake!

[@williamowens5542]

I made these today. This is now my standard versatile cookie dough. I already discovered you don't need to chill the dough, you don't need to roll the dough around in your hand and this recipe will adapt to lots of different flavors. I used my standard small ice cream scoop and got 22 round cookies. The last six got a small handful of shredded coconut added as a (very successful) test. Next times I will switch out flavors, such as almond or lemon, which should work easily.

Hey, how much condensed milk did you use in place of 1 egg?

[@_Sedna_]

This is my new favourite cookie recipe, it tastes amazing, and it stays soft even after two days! (It took an enormous amount of willpower to test this, believe me.) A word to the wise: if your kitchen is quite warm (as mine usually is, especially when the oven is on), be quick when handling the dough. I fiddled with the balls a bit too much when I made my first batch, so even though I took the dough out of the fridge only a few minutes before baking, some of the balls started to melt a little before getting into the oven, and as a result I got a few cookie-puddles instead of round and shapely mounds. Still friggin' delicious though :D The second time around I threw the balls back into the fridge and only took them out to quickly slap them onto the baking tray, and they turned out perfect

[@VelvetCrone]

OH MY! Thanks for this recipe! My mom used to make these in the 60s when I was a girl. We made them together a couple times, (sadly we rarely cooked together) at Christmastime, from a tattered hand typed recipe she in a three ring binder from some women's group (maybe Army Wives or Catholic boarding school) that shared recipes. I haven't thought of them of in years, and it's been decades since I've had one, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM! I'll do them next week with my granddaughter when she comes to stay. I really appreciate this. I have very few good memories of my mom, whose life was troubled, so I try to cultivate the good ones because the bad ones don't need help. This is healing - THANKS!

[@VelvetCrone]

Okay - so we used to roll the batter up into a wax paper wrapped log before refrigeration. Then we could unwrap and slice, and bake. It was great to make extra ahead, and bake more really fast, which was handy during the holidays. I bet it would freeze well. I'm going to try it. I'll report back.

[@sigsin1]

Good recipe. I hope you don’t mind if I make a couple of suggestions: 1. Instead of 2tsp vanilla, try 1.5 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp almond extract. It makes these cookies just…WOW. 2. Because they are so sticky, I scoop with a spoon and drop a blob into a little bowl of granulated sugar and coat it. Now you can roll it into a ball easier and you can skip the powdered sugar at the end. (And you won’t have the dough sticking all over your fingers.). They will still be pretty because they sparkle. 3. I might try a cooler oven temp next time because you really have to watch these. If they are even in a minute too long, the bottom turns golden and there’s nothing wrong with that, but now a soft cookie is crunchy on the bottom. Still good, though! Before you say it’s because of the sugar, it’s not. I make all of my sugar cookies this way and I’ve never experienced this as a problem. Thanks for the recipe, it’s a good one.

The elegant way to clean the kitchen aid attachment is to bang it on the side of the bowl and then complain and accuse your spouse for causing the attachments to have little dinks on them 😅🙈

[@ulla7378]

Oh no, the more elegant way is to take the attachment off, put it aside and lick it clean while the cookies are baking.

[@uzma3154]

or assuming the dishwasher messed it up, too!! hahahaha that video was so funny

[@angelmom916]

MissHutli or not think about it and let the dobie have it to clean and find teeth marks in it...ya..had to replace it..but on that note,it had chipped paint at the top from the beginning and I had to always check it..thinking of removing all the paint and use as is,lol...I needed the scraper paddle anyway right🤷🏼‍♀️

[@silkeroscoe4238]

Or just lick the mixing paddle 😂

[@drintx5734]

I think running your finger all over the beater then licking your finger (repeat as many times as needed) til the beater is clean is not only more elegant but also safer. No damage to attachments or bowl!

[@sonjacapo9244]

I male these every Christmas, I press a little down on top of them and put a bit of fruit preserves on them, DELISH!!

How is there on now 😭 lol

[@hannahs8355]

Uggg yeah even haters have notifications turned on 😥

[@daraldlee]

Seriously, who even makes a conscious effort to press dislike on amazing videos like these. Like, what is even going on in their head.

Tried this recipe yesterday and got delicious cookies. My batter wasn’t sticky and I didn’t have to chill it in the fridge. Before popping it in the oven I made a heart shaped hole in the middle with a chopstick and filled with strawberry jam. Topped with powdered sugar when out of the oven. Perfect cookies. Absolutely will be making this again.

[@martaaltheide5146]

I’m only 65 and I have made many of your recipes, making this one to give away at Christmas, along with Russian Tea cookies. Thanks!

[@fluffycanterbury]

This recipe is so amazing! Unbelievably easy to put together and sooo delicious. Not too sweet, so even my parents who don't like sweet things ate them 😂 and I chilled the dough overnight and it wasn't sticky, I didn't even have to wash my hands during rolling. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe ♥️

[@suratiivey9142]

John, you are my new favorite internet Chef. You've got real good recipes and real good style.

[@kathleenstetler609]

Ugly? NO These, and all your creations are beautiful in many many ways. Perfection is the tool of the oppressor.

[@anon2962]

thank you for making it in gram i never understand cup things lol I'll try this recipe this looks so yummyy

[@cbryce9243]

I prefer grams too, the cookies come out better. It is especially important when making things with gluten free flours.

[@dorothyedwards7225]

Love the copperware, especially the measuring cup! The cookies remind me of Xmas sugar cookies, but these look soo delicious!!

[@-tasteofdisney2517]

I am so successful to cook the cream cheese cookies for the party today. Everyone loved it and all of them were gone. Thank you for the recipe. I will cook it every-time when I have party.

[@virginiamoreland9059]

I’ll make this even easier for you. Replace all those dry ingredients for a box of yellow cake mix. Then your butter, cream cheese, egg and vanilla. That’s how we always made them. You can use devil’s food cake mix for a chocolate take on them too.

[@draconiccynic8061]

Yay! I'll definitely have to try this. Thanks!

[@sandrafernandez7148]

It won't taste same.

[@virginiamoreland9059]

@@sandrafernandez7148 maybe. Maybe not. still tastes great. That’s how we’ve made them since I was a kid. They’re my favorite.

[@sharminisangar1279]

when you use the yellow cake mix . do you follow the same qty of butter cream cheese as the video

[@virginiamoreland9059]

@@sharminisangar1279 yup. The rest is the same for the butter, egg, cream cheese and vanilla.

[@Khristafer]

John: I LOVE a crunchy cookie. Also John: Here's another recipe for a soft cookie. As someone who is not on the crunchy cookie train, I'm fine with this.

[@blancabulgrin5560]

My sons love em thank u!!!

[@Blueskies1180]

Love it! I have a block of cream cheese I bought on sale and didn’t know what else to make with it, so this is perfect!

[@mariedeiter514]

I bet these would be delicious with lemon in them. Yummmmm

[@seemamhaske7913]

I made them today. They turned out good. I am not a cookie expert but these are very soft, melting sugar cookies alike! Hope I am not offending any cookie experts here. This was my first recipe from Preppy kitchen. Will definitely try more!!

[@trishacullen1564]

Preppy Baking is all my goals in one! Great directions, beautiful yumminess and a fantastic host. It’s a baking trifecta! 🎂 🍰 🧁

[@carlygaertner7529]

actually made these, so damn good, a classic cookie with a mild taste, going in my fav cookie rotation

[@raquelalmestica304]

These were a hit for my two back to back gatherings this weekend. Everyone said they were so light and so good. A great cookie for the summer and most people said they would be so great with coffee in the morning. Your recipes are so simple and so yum! Thanks so much.

[@xionmemoria]

I'm gonna dump this on top of red velvet brownie batter and make little marbled swirls. You can't stop me!

[@cbgbstew4072]

Yummmm, what a great idea!

[@Celestials1aurora]

can you send a recipe lmaooo

[@l4dy0c3]

😮! A red velvet brookie?! That sounds amazing and now I wanna do it, lol. I'm already testing out a different cookie recipe and it left enough cream cheese to do this one. I'm already heavily debating on if and how I'd add lemon extract to this first try. >

[@angelikac6767]

For Christmas I added mint instead of vanilla, Prp Tip- do not substitute oil for extract. It does not dissipate and I made edible airfreshners

[@MikeKelly9786]

Brand new subscriber here. You're my new favorite baker to follow for 2 reasons. 1. Your recipes don't take 30 minutes to watch. 2. You have great recipes !!! Thank you !!!

[@cynthianguyen8830]
