Hi Anna! No jokes here. I would recommend watching the video. You can see me add it all there. Are you weighing your flour? Are you making any other substitutions?

Is this recipe an April fools joke or something? Just like the other woman in the comments by the time you are finished with the 4 1/2 cups of flour like you stated in the instructions the dough is completely ruined because it no longer can bind. If I have to go and figure out a different kind of measurement other than the 4 1/2 cups you state then actually put that in the instructions and clarify it. I have tried making this two times now wasting hours of my time and tons of baking products, before a baby shower. This needs some serious clarification and I hate it.

Great recipe- the cookies were so quick to make and the dough was super easy to work with. They turned out perfectly- no spreading, nice and crunchy, and they look adorable. I’ve never seen a no-chill sugar cookie dough that holds its shape so beautifully before- it’s quite impressive! I used white chocolate to frost instead of royal icing, however I’m keen to try them with the royal icing next time for a bit more sweetness. Thanks for another lovely recipe! I also love your adorable animal cookie cutters!

Hi Rose! The dough should not be crumbly. If your dough is too crumbly there may have been too much flour added here. Make sure to check my post on how to properly measure flour if you aren’t using a scale. 🙂

Trying these cookies today. Is it supposed to be crumbly? It’s not like a sugar cookie where it’s easy to roll out and cut the shapes.
Thanks

Hello, Eileen! I ordered my animal cookie cutters from Amazon. I believe that they ship to the UK as well. If not, I would recommend looking at your local craft store that carries cake decorating items. Let me know where you end up finding them. I hope that you enjoy the recipe! 🙂

If I may make a suggestion about the Royal Icing: To keep Royal Icing from drying too fast, drape your bowl of icing with a cotton tea towel that has been wet with water and squeezed nearly dry leaving the towel lightly damp. The moisture in the towel will keep the icing from drying out and prevent it from hardening and becoming unusable.
