Love the rolling pin. Great idea. Beautiful cookies, really love the commentary.

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.🥰

[@LittleCookieCo]

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 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?

[@LittleCookieCo]

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!

[@Elizabeth-l2p3m]

Hi, thanks for the recipe this looks really good. May i ask for the weight in grams please

I love this updated version of the cookie recipe. I had quite 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 buy this rolling pin! Thank you for sharing.

[@LittleCookieCo]

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!

[@FlameDeluge]

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 KZbin somewhere! It allows the beaters to reach the bottom of the bowl so you’re not left with unmixed ingredients :)

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you!!! I'll have to check, I think mine may need some adjusting!!!

[@hellobeautifulesthetics]

I was watching your video on icing just yesterday 😮I’ll have to try this recipe next.

Yay!!! They go so well together ❤️ hope you love it!!

[@hellobeautifulesthetics]

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

[@LittleCookieCo]

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!

[@hellobeautifulesthetics]

@ 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 !

[@LittleCookieCo]

Let me know how it went!! Hopefully they turned our better, but regardless, they will still taste amazing 🥰

[@lorettafoster783]

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!🥰

[@LittleCookieCo]

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!!

[@lorettafoster783]

I have used your cooks before. Doing again the weekend. Cannot wait

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yay!! These are even better cause the corn starch makes then melt in your mouth!!! 🥰

[@theslayablemonkey]

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!❤

[@LittleCookieCo]

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!

[@theslayablemonkey]

@@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!!

[@catherinenalumansi2253]

Thank you for this. Do you have a video on how you roll and freeze large batches of dough?

[@LittleCookieCo]

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!

[@sweeterland_bysteff]

Hi Stephanie! Thank you for sharing this 💗Have you ever tried doing a fall dough flavor?

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

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?

[@LittleCookieCo]

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.

[@susankorecki856]

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 very much for this recipe, but please provide the measurement in gram. Thanks

[@Geeehbby]

Awesome! Can’t wait to try this recipe this weekend! When do you roll and bake the dough that was on the plate?

[@LittleCookieCo]

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!

[@Geeehbby]

Do you use salted or unsalted butter? Also, what type of flour?

[@LittleCookieCo]

I use unsalted butter and all purpose flour!

[@josueneferreira1713]

Is there a correct temperature for the cold butter?

[@LittleCookieCo]

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!

[@woopwoopwoopwoopwoopwoop]

[@LittleCookieCo]

[@LittleCookieCo]

Unsalted!!

[@LornaArends-en3ex]

How long should the cookies bake for a crunchy version sometimes soft and chewy is not a fan

[@LittleCookieCo]

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!

[@dianebarker7587]

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!

[@LittleCookieCo]

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!

[@dianebarker7587]

So I use your old recipe….this seems to be slightly different measurements…how come? Not sure why the measurements are off or if it’s worth it for me to try this one when the old works fine!!

This one has addition of corn starch and just over the years I've adapted it to work better for more. The cornstarch is a great addition as it gives the cookies a softer bite!

It should be ok if you don't put them in the fridge! As long as you have enough flour, it should be enough to prevent spreading! And if it does spread it shouldn't be too crazy that the shape isn't recognizable!
