This was great. I made my first batch last night using another RUclips video and I should have started here with Sarah Grace, the extra large egg tip, and the parchment paper tip: very helpful!
Love, love your video. I just threw away my store bought sugar cookies dough. My Xmas trees lost their shape completely. I’m definitely following your recipe. Thanks sooooo much for sharing with us. Your video is so instructive.
I’m off to my kitchen to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing. I use the preppy kitchen’s icing. But love the dark brown sugar. This is everything I wanted from a cookie. I’m so excited to go try.
Can you let us know if your cookies are soft or more harder - crumbly texture. Would be great if you could break one while filming so we can see the texture.
Another EXCELLENT Video!!! Love your French Rolling Pin... those are hard to find... I am seriously thinking about incorporating Sugar Cookies in with my Acting Studio that also has Mystery Dinner Theatre... (food) ... I think also teaching the students "How To" make these, and decorate them will also encourage fellowship and using their artistic ways... plus... this can also be another way of doing a fundraiser for our Summer Acting Camp... So many possibilities... My Question is this... I want to buy a New Kitchen Aid and have thought to get the 6 quart professional one... but I see you have the Artistin? Classic? Which one would you think I should buy... we will be making a lot of food, not only cookies. Thank you for sharing this great video...
Thank you for sharing this special cookie recipe with brown sugar. I have a baby shower for my niece soon. How much time in advance can I make my cookies and decorate with royal icing?
Hi Sarah I have a question I want to use buttercream frosting I don't like Royal icing and either do my children all these cookies sturdy enough to hold buttercream frosting and the other question I have is after you roll then cut out the cookies I saw you have some leftover Do you just reroll it and cut that out or have to pop those scraps in the freezer again before you reroll it and bake it?
Hi, thanks for sharing. Where can I get a silicone mat like yours? I’ve searched on Amazon, but I’m finding the ones with the circle guides and I don’t want that. I just want a solid colored mat for rolling out fondant and dough. Thank you!!
My first batch. It’s a little stiff and crumbled, easily. Once in the pan, they baked fine, but have a floury taste. Maybe I added a bit too much flour. Will putting the remaining 3 quarters back into the mixer and adding milk, fix it?
This is why it's important to sift the flour before measuring AND spoon the flour into the measuring cup. Scooping the flour into the measuring cup compacts more flour into the cup.

Doesn’t it make your cookies tough mixing the flour so much? It develops gluten. Try mixing just to not seeing flour. I just love my cookies without the corn starch too. 3 cups AP flour, 1 large egg, 2 sticks salted butter, 1 cup white sugar, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of vanilla. I really works for me and doesn’t spread. I know it is your channel but others might try different recipes to get the one they like. I love watching your channel. I live in Georgia and just can’t talk like you. I guess I am too close to Florida.
Cookies, though, do not include yeast. So the gluten matrix in them serves another purpose. It makes a cookie’s dough springy. As cookies bake, they spread out on the baking sheet. Heat in the oven melts the fats and sugar in the dough. This makes the dough more fluid so that it spreads out. Gluten in the cookie dough forms a matrix which helps hold in the melted fat and sugar. This stops the cookie from spreading too far. The gluten also helps dough hold water. So cookies with gluten can be round, soft and chewy. Removing gluten makes cookie dough less springy. So the cookies spread as they bake. And then they spread some more. This is why my gluten-free cookies in the first experiment were so much wider than wheat-based cookies. If you are not using gluten free flour, your cookies have gluten
When you said Soda spreads and power puffs..... I ❤ that way of explaining
My cookies just came out perfect! Thank you for the recipe!!! Now on to your royal icing.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great tips!
Preppy Kitchen... that's the one I use and modified a bit as well
I’m off to my kitchen to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing. I use the preppy kitchen’s icing. But love the dark brown sugar. This is everything I wanted from a cookie. I’m so excited to go try.
Yay! I'm so glad that you like it! Its been a great one for me these past few years!
Preppy’s sugar cookies came out dry when I made them.
Your Granny is right..White Lily is best. I have a painted sifter like yours from my great grandmother, from 1923.
You are always so informative🙃
Thank you so much! And thank you for watching! 💗
You're just so pretty and I love all the pink for sure
Can you let us know if your cookies are soft or more harder - crumbly texture. Would be great if you could break one while filming so we can see the texture.
Got to say you explain well
Thank you! I’m a former teacher so that’s probably where my “teaching style” comes from 💗
Thank you for the recipe 😀
You’re so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Another EXCELLENT Video!!!
Love your French Rolling Pin... those are hard to find...
I am seriously thinking about incorporating Sugar Cookies in with my Acting Studio that also has Mystery Dinner Theatre... (food) ...
I think also teaching the students "How To" make these, and decorate them will also encourage fellowship and using their artistic ways... plus... this can also be another way of doing a fundraiser for our Summer Acting Camp...
So many possibilities...
My Question is this...
I want to buy a New Kitchen Aid and have thought to get the 6 quart professional one... but I see you have the Artistin? Classic?
Which one would you think I should buy... we will be making a lot of food, not only cookies.
Thank you for sharing this great video...

Hi how can I be in your group I would love to learn I don’t know how to make the icing
Do you have a printed recipe or did I overlook it/
Where did you get that baking mat?
How much salt do you add to dry ingredients?
Never mind! I just found the answer!! Thank you so much for your video!
Good deal! Thank you for watching! 💗

My husband has Celiac Disease. Have you ever tried the recipe with GF Flour?
I can't find a "free resources" tab on your website. Can you help?
Sure! Here is a link. We’ve been updating it lately so that may have been why 🥰

No salt just flour and corn starch?
Do you have this recipe written in grams dont really work with cups
I don’t currently have a recipe in grams, but I’ll put creating that on my project list
Could this recipe be doubled? And how would you do that?
Hi absolutely! You can download the free PDF on my website which lists the ingredients for a single batch as well as a double batch :) Here is the link www.sarahgracecookieco.com/my-recipe Thank you for watching!

I will try yours. Mine aren’t tough, at all. Was looking for no spread and might like not adding corn starch. Thanks!
Time and temp on your cookies please
