Thank you for the recipe recap❤❤

The highlight of this episode was the Neatly arranged sprinkle drawer. This is what I dream my house would look like in my future

[@fabianadomezaiz1955]

At 3:55 I could not believe my eyes and how I never knew that people could have entire drawers filled with SPRINKLES! I love this recipe as well and seems much easier to handle with for starters like me than royal icing

[@janelcloutier9543]

That’s a magical drawer wow😮

[@rjcaspe]

I thought the same thing mine is in my pantry all around......

[@theblepiansofroblox6287]

lol i have two drawers of sprinkles but it’s not as nicely organized..

[@icyyrxses3331]

They have those at the bakery I work at! One for each color and one with a whole rainbow!

[@argentuum4958]

The recipe is really good. I didn't have time to buy corn syrup, instead I used honey, and icing was delicious. Thanks, you saved my xmas cookies :>

[@nicolettepereira2220]

im so glad you shared the swap. i was wondering what i would use instead of corn syrup. thank you

[@alexandrealavoie3640]

Do you remember if it hardened up good with honey?

[@PixieLovesItAll]

@@alexandrealavoie3640 I've done it with honey to ice gingerbread cutout cookies in the past and it worked out fine. It's more important to make sure you don't put in too much milk to start as standard bottled honey has more moisture in it than corn syrup, corn syrup (and honey in that case) adds to the shiny, smooth texture once the icing sets, and the viscosity as you're working with it.

[@eg348]

Needed this comment as I don't have corn syrup...Thank you!!😊

[@allireynolds1430]

Honey is a brilliant substitute! Thanks for sharing!

[@ilikeacousticguitars4525]

John hears our thoughts when we need the icing for sugar cookies he makes the recipe...THANK YOU

[@teresecox4109]

OMG, that sprinkle drawer is awesome! This looks like a great recipe, thank you! 🎄❄️

I know lol it was like looking into a small piece of Heaven hehe 😉 Merry Christmas 🎄 or Happy Holidays and happy baking

[@talau7373]

My thoughts too....

[@Darcella]

The entire video was worth it just to see the sprinkle drawer. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@bettysims9284]

I turned an old spice rack into a sprinkle rack. Just an idea😊

[@kimhohlmayer7018]

I’m with all of you. That sprinkle drawer made my little heart go potty pat. LOL!

[@meredithelise9465]

Your sprinkle drawer is everything!!!!

[@lynnst.laurent2879]

You are the BEST ...you make what I've been baking for years tastier and easier!!! I really enjoy your videos...so easy to understand.

[@thutrangnguyen8644]

This is exactly the recipe I’m looking for. Thank you, John ❤️❤️

[@sharleenwatthey5538]

Preppy kitchens recipes have never failed me. Thanks for sharing. I only use your no spread sugar cookie recipe .it's the best ever. I always struggled to find the perfect recipe. I found gold in yours.

[@curiousuniverse438]

I just got your book and I love it! I have been looking for a non-egg-based icing that will dry hard and I am SO happy I found this. Absolutely love watching your videos

[@debcorcoran3493]

These are so beautiful. I just did sugar cookies this weekend for a bake sale. I wish I would have seen this video prior. I'm definitely going to give this a try. Thank you John for all your recipes and tips.

[@nievesvarela8308]

Great vid! I'm here to make some comments about royal icing though: 1. You can totally use just ONE consistency to decorate! Just get it on a medium. I understand the learning curve is different from this one icing (like you said, this one levels up nicely) and not everyone is decorating all year round to acquire the technique. 2. For those of you concerned about raw eggs, you can use meringue or egg white powder, that's what most cookie decorators use. Anyway, keep the great work, John!

[@lorilayton2223]

Whoa … I love your drawer full of all those many different sprinkles !! You are so amazing ! I’m so inspired . I will attempt to make that peanut butter cheese cake with Reese cups ! I just bought the ingredients for it ! I made the dough for the coconut citrus cookies . It’s in my refrigerator waiting for my 5 year old granddaughter to bake ❤

[@molly_jean]

I am soooo glad you shared this technique!!! Much easier than the traditional icing way...and the cookies look AMAZING!!!

[@trich601]

WOW! The sprinkle drawer is amazing!!! 🥰

[@bernadettemihills7563]

This recipe is perfect for those of us who just detest Royal icing. Seriously, can’t thank you enough.

[@firstnamelastname4183]

This is so perfect! This is going on my list of holiday activities to do during break ❤️❤️

[@just.jayshree]

I used this recipe tonight and it really does taste nice! Like, on its own it is cloyingly sweet, so I was, admittedly, nervous, but I’ve never had one of your recipes fail me yet, so I went ahead and put it on my sugar cookies (ALSO your recipe!) and it really was PERFECT 🙌🏼 It was super easy to work with, set up beautifully, and didn’t overwhelm my cookies at all! I’m so excited to have pretty cookies to ship to my friends and family this year! Thank you!!! 🖤

[@aliceswayer9979]

They look so cute!! My mum and I have been wanting to make Ugly Christmas Sweater cookies for ages now and this the perfect recipe!!!

[@kimw.7366]

Timely! Loving the ease and glossiness! Thanks John

Danngggg I'm amazed. I've been looking for an excellent recipe for icing for cookies and I didn't wanna go through the whole raw egg royal icing drama. This video just popped outta nowhere when I stopped trying to search and was just scrolling randomly through my feed and boy am I so happy and grateful. You're amazing and I thank you so much for this recipe. It's appreciated. Xoxo love from Trinidad

[@lindakemer4950]

I like that they are so shiny. My daughter in law uses regular zip close bags for her icing since she ran out of the piping bags. She now prefers using the zip bags especially when she is writing names. Thanks for a different recipe for icing. I’ll give it a try!👍🎄

Great stuff. Royal Icing has always freaked me out because of the raw egg, and it was always a challenge to work with. I can't wait to try this!

[@LuigiNotaro]

I usually use pasturized egg whites for royal icing because raw eggs freak me out too!

[@azaleaayala3030]

There’s another recipe you can make with meringue powder😁 it’s pretty easy

[@shadith2380]

@@azaleaayala3030 I use the meringue powder and agree! this looks good tho!

I found your channel last Christmas, looking for a molasses cookie recipe. Of course your recipe was great! Then my Mom called me and said she had found this great KZbin channel for baking and low and behold it was yours! Now whenever we are looking for a great recipe we inevitably say, "Did you check Preppy Kitchen?" I'm looking forward to trying out your sugar cookies and decorating them with my Mom and the kids. Happy Holidays John to you and your husband and kids!
