THANK YOU!!! I have been making sugar cookies with royal icing for years now and I never can get my base icing firm enough without adding extra powdered sugar (making it a little too sweet). Turns out, I'm not mixing it long enough. Also, I love how you leave in mistakes and show how to fix them. A small tip for you though, for the stocking, start with red next time. Then do the white with sanding sugar. That way there is no gap between the colors. Also, for the snowman's nose, you can just make a big orange circle and then use a toothpick to pull it out in the direction you want to make the point. :) Love your videos! You're fantastic!
You sound like you know what you are doing.

HEY JON I OPENED UP A BAKERY BECAUSE OF YOU
Good for you
It’s amazing how the people that teach really make a difference.
Stay safe everybody :)
Wow 😳😲 awesome
Awesome CONGRATS 🎉
Wow!
I love how you do not edit mistakes and show us how to fix it. Love your humor as well. Merry Christmas from our house to yours. 🎄🎁❄☃️
Congrats on your New York best seller. I plan to buy your cookbook for Christmas. Thanks to you I make wonderful no spread sugar cookies. Now I plan to try your Royal Icing. Thank you for allowing me to see your videos and being able to make wonderful treats for everyone
@@peggyturner8898 i don’t like your fit
I absolutely love when you giggle at yourself! You’re an AMAZING cook and I love watching your videos! 🎄
The best part about royal icing is that you can swirl and blend colors like an artist. I always let people know I need to have at least 1 week to complete my creations. It is very labor intensive. I also use meringue powder, and can refrigerate the frosting to continue the next day. I’m not sure if you can do that with egg whites. Also I use a dehydrator to firm up the frosting on the cookie when I add layers. Great starter & Informative video, John! 🎄
I found that the egg white royal icing survives the fridge much better than the meringue powder. I also found that the egg white icing was smoother.-I use a knife to spread the icing. Not sure this year they’ll be cookies, usually I made a few dozen gingerbread cookies.
How do you keep the cookies in the fridge? Open or in air tight container? Do they sweat?

I loveee how he shows that he makes a few mistakes along the way!! Makes me so much more confident and i know it's okay to do a few things wrong. I Loveeee your videos and I've used so many of them so many times ❤️
It worked so well, everything turned out perfectly. I loved the final result and I couldn't be happier with my decorated gingerbreads
Thank you for showing all the great techniques. I've always wondered how people got cookies decorated so perfectly. Awesome job!
The background music at 10:24 is actually Brazil’s national anthem 😂 And I love how somehow it sounded very christmas-y and went with the video
Yeah! I was thinking that I'm crazy hahaha but I could also hear
Thanks for this ❤
I remember my grandmother teaching me the tricks in cake decorating. I was in 6th grade then, no piping bags - just filling the small tip every time you run out...it was worth every effort. 🥰
I truly appreciate you being so detailed and dedicated to every recipe. I love how conservative & delicious your cookies look! You're awesome 😊❤
I love how it’s not like any other baking videos
How they just show ingredients
But
John shows the amount and everything
It’s just
AMAZING 🤩
I would like to suggest a tip I learned from Alton Brown. When adding dry ingredients to a mixer of wet ingredients, use a cheap bendable paper plate. It's a lot less messy.
Thank you.
That is an awesome tip, Sandra! So simple - and yet, I never thought of that, haha. Thank you! 🤗🤗
The snowman was my favorite! And Brian stealing a bite...and then putting it back, made my day! lol
Love these! Great idea! My mom always uses this when we do gingerbread houses growing up. And now I do it with my kids!
2023 you are always my go to for your Christmas cookies and Royal Icing. Thank you for all your tips and patience explaining everything 😊❤
I love how you keep it so real. Thank you!!❤️
I have to say... When John is creating, it is such a joy to watch! I love this video, & smiled with you while watching!
Happy Family☃️Happy Holidays
I LOOOOVE How Happy Smiley and Giggley you ALWAYS are! It’s such a breath of fresh air.
I just tried this recipe for my gingerbread house gifts this year. It is a great consistency and held together really quickly. I will be switching to using this recipe from now on, thanks for the recipe!
John your videos have inspired me so much ❤️ I’m thinking of starting a bakery which is such a big step for me!! Thanks for your videosss
Xolio…. Do it!! I wish you the very best! 👏👏
Congratulations 🎉
*me anytime I need any recipe* checks preppy kitchen.. and you never let me down. Thank you for all your wonderful videos- I use them constantly!! Also appreciate that you show your mistakes and how to fix them!! You’re the best and we so appreciate all your videos!!!
I think this all starts with your perfectly baked cookies. The shapes are so clean. I want to get your recipe and start baking these wonderful treats.
They look so adorable!! I'm so near my due date I'm not sure I'm going to be baking this year. I usually make a big batch and decorate them with my step son. They make great presents from a child to aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Last year he asked to give some of them to his friends! I found it adorable. I'll try to make at least a few, so he doesn't already feel our traditions are gone now that little sister is on the way.
Thanks for the video!!!
Perfect timing! My kids and I are doing cookie ornaments (non-edible gingerbread) and decorating with 3D paint. We will be making edible ones soon and the ornament decorating is perfect practice for royal icing.
Your kitchen is so spectacular omg
the fact that you exist makes me happy
Thank you for being so specific with your instructions - very necessary for someone like me! Happy Holidays!
John, you're my actual hero!! Your videos bring me life!! I started watching your videos, and I was so intrigued, it motivated me to start baking and now I own my own business! Love you🥺❤
Wow! That’s so cool, do you by chance have a website? I’d love to check out your stuff 😊
Wow, congrats on your business!!!
WOW!! Congrats
I’m guessing you just bake and sell out of your home? Lol
@@hollydaugherty2620What's so funny? Even if she does, she still has a business. Even big bakers have said you don't need to actually open up your own public bakery to have made it. Whether original poster sells from home or not, she still has a business & is following her dreams. That is amazing and something to be proud of.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! Finally a recipe that works! I’ve tried everything in the past and can never get the right consistency until now! I’ve been using your recipe for 3 days now for all of my Christmas cookies and it’s PERFECT! My cookies look professional and beautiful. Merry Christmas!!!
I would LOVE to see you make a gingerbread house that's edible but of course stays together.
Thank you for this, you're always so relatable when I need a certain recipe you're always there making it and posting it on CZcams, it's like you can read my mind lol
Thank you!!! This is the first time I’ve ever been able to do this!!! I’ve watched so many other videos and used recipes that never worked. This was perfect!
John, I have been making sugar cookies with icing since I was seventeen and I am now 41. I used to make such runny icing or I would make vanilla buttercream which is too thick. Watching your royal icing tutorial is great and life changing. I got this Christmas already made up icing for cookies. It was too thick so watching your video I would add a little water and it made the perfect flooding consistency. Thank you John. You are an amazing man.
I’ve been looking for a good royal icing recipe. I’m glad you made one, your recipes are always the best!
Me too some have stuff have never heard of 😂😂😂
Me too some have stuff have never heard of 😂😂😂
I love your channel had such a crapy day and you cheered me up so much I'm motivated to go nuts with Christmas cookies and decorations hohoho
love this!! I'm going to try out this year And thank you for leaving in all the relatable bits!! 💜🎄🥳
I remember we had a cake decorating class when I was in girl scouts. That was about 50 years ago. We practiced on graham crackers. The icing was made of crisco, powdered sugar and food coloring. How I thought that was yummy I'll never know. I always thought that was Royal Icing. Thank you for showing how to do it right. 😋
What?!? I was a Girl Scout about 45 yrs ago (I still have my beret though some moths did a slight number on it, lol) but we didn't get to do a cake decorating class 😔 I did learn to bake in my Jr High's Home Economics class though. I had some great recipes but unfortunately I lost them. I had one of thee best sugar cookie recipes I've ever tasted. So sad it's/they're gone but grateful for the memories of both those yrs in my childhood...
@@tammiemartinez6485 Not only cake decorating but Toy Making as well.
@@jackybluj Yeah that's another one we didn't do. We did several outdoor activities. Camping, they took us to one of California's largest Zoo's, went to the beach. One of my fondest memories was the gathering at a huge city park after our yearly cookie selling where all troops from California attended. Again, lots of outdoor activities to participate in as well as learning which troops made the most sales...
@@tammiemartinez6485 There are some chocolate smudges on my nightstand because that's EXACTLY, ingredient per ingredient even the Graham's, what my grandson and I made YESTERDAY! What are the odds!?! How funny! Plus I was a Brownie and Girl Scout in San Diego. We moved to AZ in 81, I was 11, but still keep in touch with my Cali-Crew. I saw the msgs from you and Vicki and felt like I reunited with classmate friends. Millions of CZcams videos and the world can still seem small. Take care!
@Vicki Jackman what you mean was a buttercream frosting/icing 😅
OMG! The shirt & apron!! I love them❤️ BTW, I’ve never made royal icing, but watching your video makes me want to try it!!🎄🥂🎁 Merry Christmas 🎅
I am LOVING all your content lately! Thanks for being YOU! 💙
You've taken away my fear of cutout cookies!! Thank you for being so REAL and encouraging!
John, I love them all but I think the snowman is my favorite too. Great job you did. They are so perfect.
What a sweet human! Ready for Christmas cookies!
I love watching you bake and cook! You're funny and laugh if something happens that wasn't supposed to! Now I know how to decorate my cookies ❣️
Absolutely joyful to watch all John’s videos. This one in particular is great.
Love you John! And your husband! But really though I appreciate all that you teach in your baking videos! Covid brought me to you and I’m so happy about it ❤️🤷🏽♀️
Mucho besos from Germany ❤️😄
Beautiful cookies John! My favorite is the snowman ⛄️!
I made icing last year that ran, they still turned out so cute. I loved them. I've been wanting to learn more so I'm glad I found this video.
I just found this video because I'm making cookies for my son's birthday. Thank you for such a happy, and helpful video!
Hi john! Let me just tell you , you are awesome and your videos is relaxing and not overwhelming. Thank you ❤
Exactly!
Wow! John, thanks so much for explaining about the royal icing ... I could never get the right consistency and now I know why...you are my hero!!! Greetings from Roatan, Honduras!!!🌴🌻
I really enjoy watching you. I’ve grown the confidence to try new things! You’re so easy going and sweetly funny. I look forward to seeing more of your videos
I use a ton of your recipes! I have struggled with royal icing so bad! I am trying yours because you are my absolute favorite baker!
This recipe saved my day. I made sugar cookies for an upcoming recipe video. I could not find the icing pouch I usually buy to frost my cookies at the store. I had to frost my cookies for the video. I looked for recipes online and this one seemed so perfect. I made it and VOILÀ! Perfectly frosted sugar cookies!!!! I will not buy icing pouches anymore. I just love everything you make. It is always so beautifully presented.
Thank you! I can’t find meringue powder where I live so I needed something “old school”, and this delivered! My kids are very happy with being able to frost their own gingerbread houses this year during a very boring lockdown! ❤️
You can buy it at Walmart in the craft section.
You guys are too cute! I love your videos 😊 I’ve taken a lot of stuff from your videos and I use them at work! I work in a hospital and I bake for the nurses and the patients and it puts a smile on everyone’s face ☺️ It’s the simple things to make someone’s day better!
You make it look so easy! Thanks for making this video! I'm going to try it!
Subscribed, so informative and easy to follow. Trying right away.
Ahh! this will be perfect for the sugar cookies i’m going to make this christmas!
p.s. I love the apron!
ohhh i’m definitely going to try this out this weekend !
Just adorable! I love ALL of the cookies! So fun to watch. Thank you!
Hi John I get so intimidated using royal icing... U are jus so authentic and u jus gave me a confidence boost seeing u and your struggles in this video. Thank you sooo much.
When I was a kid my mother made cut out cookies, dozens of them. However when we frosted them we used just powdered sugar and milk frosting and frosted the cookies on the bottom side. They were much easier to frost and ended up being very neat. 😃
I still use that icing for my Christmas cookies!
Plz share recipe
Could you share the recipe please?
Hi! I love to bake and really like your idea of just easily made frosting on the bottom of the 🍪...alot quicker for sure! Happy Holidays everyone!
@@youtubetarwa8316 I don't have an actual recipe, I always just added enough milk to it the right consistency. You can always add more milk.
How come every time I’m looking for a recipe you have one that is literally perfect. Like, EVERY TIME! Thank you for being wonderful ❤️
Thank you! I'm finally going to attempt flooding because you're such a good teacher!
Aww, you resemble my younger brother so much!! You look like his long lost twin 🙂 even your demeanor and your calm mannerisms. I love watching you and love your recipes I’m about to make your snickerdoodle recipe and excited about it!!
When I get a notification that you have uploeded a video, my happy time begins 📸❣️🍊♥️🥳😘.🥰🤩❤️
I haven’t even watched the video yet, but hearing your voice intro made me sssoooo happy & video received an immediate thumbs up! You’re wonderful, John! Merry Christmas!
LOVE THIS, THANK YOU 🥰 I'VE had such a hard time with decorating cookies, can't wait to try this year. ❤️
I love your videos so much , John! But recently I’ve had so much school work so I don’t have time to bake in the kitchen🥺 But I’m so excited for winter break when I can finally make your recipes🥰
Same😭
Hi Chef, thanks so much for your excellent tutorial. I needed to brush up on my royal icing skills, and your super step by step process is fabulous to follow. Awesome. It's great that you mentioned the " drying out" , what a pro. Xx
,εζ
THANK YOU !! i’ve been waiting for this especially since i only trust you for when it comes to baking haha !!
I love your videos and appreciate the work you put into them
I love how the Brazilian hymn just randomly played there like a Christmas song 😂😂❤️❤️❤️
this was a great video!!! I have never seen such an informative royal icing video that made the process so clear.
Right?! So good
This man is my hero , merry Christmas John
this is going to be so helpful this Christmas
I recently tried your recipe of carrot cupcakes, to make it a little cake, like a lunch box cake and I loved it, you should do a video of lunch box cake:D
Greetings from Tijuana, Mexico
What is a lunchbox cake
@@christopherdriving6425 kind of a mini cake! you can fit it in a small lunch box :D
Just started watching and my 3 year old yelled, "SANTA! SANTA!" When she saw you! 😂
I love how when you messed up, you showed us and just took it off! That makes me happy because now I will know what to do when I mess up! Thank you as always!!
This made me smile so many times. I needed that!! Thank you! ⛄️
I love your videos. I already tried your sugar cookies recipe and it was so good didn't spread and taste good as well. I want to try decorating cookies with royal icing but my shaky hands is saying no to me HAHAHA But whatever I'll still try to make it 😂
Sometimes I just use white on all my cookies. After they set, I add gel food color to a color pallet and use a high proof alcohol to "paint" on what I want. It leaves no alcohol flavor. It also looks very similar to a water color painting if your inro that. I find it much easier to decorate with the kids that way.
Thank you so much! I love your Chanel and your kitchen ❤️
I love how he explained how there’s different consistencies because a lot of beginners don’t know that
I have been wanting to try my hand at making royal icing forever and still haven't. I have no clue why it scares me, and I have made the dreaded macarons! 😂 These look so cute. I shall be working on this for Christmas.
The toughest thing about royal icing is working with it before it dries. But when the right consistency, you can actually just smooth it on with a knife.
Did you try it this year?
@@MargaritaOnTheRox I haven't gotten the chance to as yet because I've been working at building my channel. But trust, I sure will because this is something I've always wanted to learn for my self because I just love seeing those fancy cookie designs! 😍 Thanks for the tip. It will take trial and error, but thats the fun part.
I could have used this earlier. 😂 Maybe next time I'll use this recipe. Brian coming in and taking a bite out of the snowman then leaving is such a mood.
And he bit its head off!! 😩
Thank you so much for showing the whole process and your tips! The quick videos miss all the nuances that make a such a huge difference with royal icing!!
Brian! Great to see you! John, you're always amazing!
I love all of your videos. Please come and bake with me. BTW, your chocolate crinkle cookies are ALWAYS a hit 😋
I made those last week, and they were a hit!! Stunning, and delicious!
I've tired to make royal icing many, many years ago but it only came out once. I was also taught to use meringue powder.
I've made your easier royal icing with corn syrup twice last year and I loved it.
I've got leftover egg whites in my fridge from your German Chocolate frosting that I've been saving.
I'm definitely going to try it again. You gave a lot more details and tips.
BTW, your German Chocolate frosting is amazing! I put it on top of your brownies and people love it. I'm about to start making your Banana Cream pie. I'm so excited.
Love seeing your husband enjoying your cookies lol. That was cute.
Hi. Could you pls share the link for the German Chocolate Icing. I can't seem to find it or it's under the name of another recipie maybe . Thank you!
Hi , how much sugar did you add in this recipe?
@@kitchenart7412 for the sugar cookie icing or German Chocolate frosting?
I love your videos ❤️ Thank you!!
We all love them❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you for being so real with these! I've never used royal icing before so this is very encouraging. I'm going to practice Christmas cookies now so that it's not brand new and scary around Christmas. 🎄
Royal icing goes great on cookies. And it's so creative to use too! Love holiday desserts cookies 🍪
You can also buy powdered egg whites. Works just as well.
How would I use the egg white powder? How much liquid? ❤
@@dawnc1419 the directions are on the container. Wilton makes an egg white powder.
i love this baking channel so much
Your such a sweet heart ! thank you so much, I love all your videos!
Hi..take an empty 20 oz water bottle and place the mouth over the egg yolk while squeezing the bottle and place on the yolk and release the bottle..voila yolks in the bottle 👍🏼🥰
@Austin Howland Doing good thank you
I have one question...When adding ornaments/eyes/carrots/scarf are you using the line or flood version of the icing?
That is a very good question!
Line because flood consistency would start to flood and ruin everything. You need the thicker consistency for sharp details.
@@16Fishwrap16, thank you.
This video has given me the confidence to give this a try.❤Thank you!
I love them all! They look great. Thanks for sharing all the great tips. Oh, and I love your apron too.
