We Tried 9 Lofthouse Cookie Copycat Recipes | The Pancake Princess

[@charlene9308]

I watched almost all of your videos on the channel and I seriously DO NOT understand why it is so underrated!!!! Your content, editing and efforts deserve WAY MUCH MORE attention 😭😭😭 please please please keep them up!

[@jess7495]

I bet the original loft house gets the layers from the way the dough is "poured" and then extruded in the factory. I agree it is unique. Def an interesting bake! I personally love these cookies, i just dont eat them often haha which is totally ok.

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

Ooh an excellent point! And yes, same--though once I made the homemade versions, I think it'll be hard to go back to storebought!

[@omaryousef7616]

I never knew I needed butter wrapper ASMR until now. Your on camera skills are great, personable without any of that over the top KZbin'y vibes!

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

Haha Omar what did I do to deserve you?? THANK YOU for your constant support, especially on this new YT frontier!!

[@_A_G_1]

Na but forreal .. well done 👏

[@user-eh8yz6ko3t]

I was very disappointed to get to the end after all that and not hear which one was your favorite and why ☹️

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

I'm sorry, we literally forgot to record that section for this video!! It should be in all future ones. If you go to my blog post, I also highlight some top picks at the end of the post.

[@rsloveeeee]

@@erikathepancakeprincess what’s the answer tho? 😅 which is your favorite if I’m only wanting to make 1

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

@@rsloveeeee I'd say Serious Eats! Here's the post if you want to read more about why I choose that one: www.thepancakeprincess.com/2021/02/11/best-lofthouse-cookie-bake-off/

[@edwsc3]

I thought the SAME thing!! I was like...WTF !!

[@mei5064]

I found you from Instagram! Your production quality is amazing, I love it! Can’t wait for more recipes!!!

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@toswingonastar]

I just made the NYT ones! That frosting is really genius, and I like the cream cheese/butter for flavor in the cookies.

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

YES omg that frosting. Just incredible!!

[@fatimahanwaar306]

instead of a traditional birthday cake every year I'd have these instead they're so good and very aesthetically pleasing

[@jess824]

Great video! Love how these overviews can direct me to the best recipe for my tastes!

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

Thanks Jessica!!! Glad you find them helpful!

[@kolbietherat3209]

Considering the imense effort that was obviously put into this video- it should have way more likes and recognition than it does

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

That is so kind of you to say, thank you!

[@jessomega2790]

Great video! I still can't decide which recipe to try though. Based on your comparison, what would be the closest recipe for the cookie and also for the frosting?

[@daffadilflower630]

preppy kitchen tastes quite similar i just recommend adding a little more flour to the batter, as it is very sticky.

[@thatssoari3533]

then itll be more dense and not as light and airy. a chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour fixes it.

[@geenagallegos6504]

I made the NYT recipe for Christmas. Used freeze dried strawberries instead of raspberries and still really great. I think you can use any freeze dried fruit and it will be delicious. They were a hit with the family.

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

So true!! That's a great idea to try the NYT frosting with other freeze dried fruits!

[@WickedWordzz]

Preppy Kitchen has a recipe as well. Looks pretty good too.

[@michaelromero3131]

Thank You for taking the Time and Energy to find us a copycat recipe that actually looks and tastelike one, there's a lot out there that claim to be a lofthouse copycat but, how do we really know...

[@momtomany]

Thank you!!

[@____Ann____]

Hi Erika. I have made the Brown eyed baker recipe for years and love them. I never make the frosting, we eat them just like that. I hate crème au beurre and I think American buttercream is probably very similar. I made them this night and made the Serious eats ones too to compare them. The SE are much sweeter and not as pillowy and soft as the BEB. They are much easier to make (scooping fresh dough VS refrigerating and rolling out) but I didn't like them. In the family 3 out of 4 prefer the BEB but my husband, who loves sweet cookies, prefers the SE's. Sorry for him but I'll stick to the Brown eyed baker ones.

[@jimbolico]

I found you thru my youtube sugestions and Im hooked! Your video is impeccable and I can truly see the ammount of effort that is put thru the baking and making of this Congrats!

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

Thank you so much Jaime, that is so kind of you to say!!

[@superdragon1101]

Damn. Lofthouse cookies are my favorite cookies! I could a whole box of 'em in a day!

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

They are SO addicting!!

[@superdragon1101]

@@erikathepancakeprincess Hell yeah. I just got a whole box today.

[@Krispykremeyummieyum]

Awesome video! One thing that would be nice is if you would critique them more/be more harsh! I feel like you kind of try too hard to be nice and say that you “highly recommend the recipe if...” and you always end with some variation of “it’s a great cookie” for every single recipe. But because this is a comparison video, I feel like if the recipe sucks you should just say this recipe is nothing like the loft house cookies and I wouldn’t recommend it. Etc!

[@Krispykremeyummieyum]

I do love these videos though and thank you for all the effort that you put into making these! It was just a suggestion up top, obviously you have your own style and can go about these videos any way you want to!

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

@@Krispykremeyummieyum Aw thank you for the thoughtful feedback! I can totally see your point and will make more an effort to distinguish which are closer to the original in future comparison videos. But I did genuinely think there wasn't a bad recipe in the bunch which is why it was hard to find criticism for some of these!

[@ItsYaBoiV]

Bless this video. My bf loves these cookies and I wanted to make him cute homemade ones for Valentine's day. 🤭

[@cooking-basket]

It looks delicious💕 I made it recently too,🍪 but seeing the video makes me want to eat it again 👍😋🤤

[@PatrickJaszewski]

Nice to see your blog move to KZbin. Great job!

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

Thank you Patrick!!

[@gc0817]

I love that you’re on KZbin now!! Congrats!!

[@erikak5632]

Thank you Francis!!!

[@nadiadansani2139]

I tried preppy kitchens recipe, and it doesn’t come out like lofthouse cookies to me. In texture sort of, but not in flavor

[@behindthescenes27]

First time trying his & mine came out similar to the lofthouse cookies tbr they are taste way better than store bought!! 😊 I’ll definitely be going back to his recipe soon

[@shriachauhan8013]

Which cookie do you think had the best texture of frosting? As in was hard but not too hard? I was planning on making Sally's but was unsure of which frosting I should use,

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

Honestly I wouldn't say any of these frostings are "too hard"--they pretty much all crisp up but are still soft like the originals. I really liked the Serious Eats frosting!

[@PlopstoperGames]

Great Video!

[@erikathepancakeprincess]

Thank you!!

[@Houndsunite]

You liked them all? Can you be more critical?

[@nadiadansani2139]

Now, I want to DoorDash loft house cookies

[@mkv1783]

You never told us which one tasted most like Lofthouse Cookies. Disappointing.

[@erikak5632]

Sorry you were disappointed! My answer would be Serious Eats. Here's the post if you want to read more about why I choose that one: www.thepancakeprincess.com/2021/02/11/best-lofthouse-cookie-bake-off/
