The Best Sugar Cookies to Decorate with Royal Icing (No Spread!!)
If you´re curious to see how I make my cookies, and how they keep their shape, well look no further! I use a common recipe but have made a few simple tweaks to make these delicious, no spread cookies a sure hit!
My favourite part is that it calls for brown sugar (I prefer using dark brown sugar), it gives it so much flavour and a beautiful golden colour. These cookies are great for decorating with royal icing as they can be handled and transported easily without worrying that you´ll break them but still maintain a softer bite! They aren´t too sweet, so once they are iced, they taste amazing. And if you're scared of too much puff, you can reduce the amount of baking powder from 1tsp as said in the video to 1/2 tsp.
The changes I've made to the recipe:
- add dark brown sugar instead of golden brown sugar
- add 2 teaspoons of butter emulsion flavouring in addition to the vanilla
- add 1/2 to 1 teaspoons of baking powder instead of 1/4
Watch until the end so you can get all the tips I´ve learnt to get those perfect cookies.
The recipe is by Lila Loa (with a few tweaks of my own) and can be found here:

EASY SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE ~ PERFECT FOR CUT OUT COOKIES
This recipe makes a simple but versatile vanilla sugar cookie with only a few ingredients and no fancy techniques. The dough is easy to work with, you'll be able to roll & cut with ease and they are bound to be the perfect 'go to' cookie recipe for any holiday cookies ????????
This recipe requires chilling your dough, and yes I know, chilling is a pain....BUT rest assured that your patience will be paid off afterwards. I found chilling my cookie dough before and after cutting really helps to prevent spreading during baking. It also makes your dough very easy to manage when it comes time to roll it out and to cut out with perfect defined edges....so trust me when I tell you that it is well worth the wait! ????????????
????NOTE: makes approx 2 dozen of cookies (depending on cutter sizes)
???? INGREDIENTS:
175 grams icing sugar/powdered sugar [US Conversion: 1 ½ Cups]
225 grams salted butter (room temperature) [US Conversion: 2 Sticks or 1 Cup]
1 egg (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or any flavour your prefer)
1 teaspoon baking powder
420 grams all-purpose flour [US Conversion: 3 ¼ Cups]
???? INSTRUCTIONS:
▪ Cream together butter and icing sugar.
▪ Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.
▪ Sift together flour & baking powder, add to the mixture little by little until well incorporated.
▪ Wait approximately 30 - 60 mins before working with the dough as it will firm up slightly.
▪ Roll the dough between baking paper and put it into the fridge for a few hours this will help prevent spreading. When the dough is a bit firmer, take it out of the fridge and cut into desired shapes (lightly dust with flour if necessary).
▪ Place the cut out cookie dough into a baking tray then put it into the fridge again for another 1-2 hours, this will also help prevent spreading.
▪ Bake cookies at 180° Celsius for approx 10-12 minutes (times may vary slightly depending on your oven). Note: Each oven is different, I would recommend you get to know your oven and adjust the time accordingly.
???? USEFUL TIPS for making perfect sugar cookies:
???? Ensure that you ALWAYS use room temperature butter, in the video i have shown you how to check if your butter have reached the correct room temperature, I can't stress enough on how important this is! Test your butter by pressing it, they should give slightly but it should still hold its shape. If you use butter that have melted too much and too soft you will end up with a dough that is too soft and hard to work with.
???? When its time to cut your cookie dough, make sure to keep your cuts as close together to get as many cookies out of your dough as possible. I usually divide my dough into half before rolling them (you would have seen this in my video) and when it comes to re-rolling your scraps after your first cut, I usually add the second half from my un-rolled dough with the scraps and knead them together, then re-roll and cut again.
???? Chill your dough if you want a perfect cut out cookies with define edges. I can't tell you how much chilling really helps my dough to retain they shape and prevent spreading, so for those of you who are impatient out there....if you want perfect cut out cookies I'm afraid you will have to wait and practice being patient LOL
