Why does this man make me feel so happy? Like every time I watch one of his videos his energy just instantly lifts my mood

Butter: 142g Salt: half a teaspoon Sugar (powdered): 1/2 cup Vanilla essence: one dash Flour: 180g

If I knew shortbread cookies were this easy, I would have been making these every weekend 😍

It’s crazy because I was JUST searching your channel for a classic shortbread cookie recipe and couldn’t find one, so decided to make the sugar cookies instead (absolutely amazing btw) and then a day later, you upload this! I’m so excited.

I've tried so many shortbread recipes - these are superb! Everything he says is true - easy, crisp and melt in your mouth! I like that he is just a 'regular joe' who happens to be a fantastic baker! Thanks and I'll be trying many more of Preppy Kitchen's recipes! (just in time for the holidays!)

I’ve watched this like 6 times in the past few days trying to make these, and for some reason “like a pizza dough” just makes me smile every time

John, I made these today, my very first shortbread cookies recipe and they turned out PHENOMENAL… They literally taste like my favourite shortbread from childhood and personally, I think the salt adds depth and brings out the sweetness of the cookies! Thank you for another amazing recipe!

I made this recipe for my mom on mother's day. We did an afternoon tea, and they were perfect! Thank you so much for adding to that memory.

10 tbsp unsalted butter unsalted butter, at room temperature 142g 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 180g 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt optional

i love him because he eats while he cooks. It's so realistic!

I just made a batch of these and wanted to gobble up the whole batch! They were amazing and they looked great! So much better looking than some of the other recipes I checked out. The color was a tan around the edges and the little holes look so professional! Absolutely mouth watering! I’m going for another cookie!

I just made these out of lockdown boredom and let me tell you, THEY ARE AMAZING!! Buttery heaven!! They're so rich and light at the same time! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome recipe with us @preppykitchen🥰

I absolutely LOVE that you use grams and cups and farenheit/celsius! I'm an American living abroad and getting used to using grams/celsius, so having both here is so useful for me. Thank you!

Shortbread is my fav!! I love how easy this looks. Trying them tonight.

Shortbreads are one of my favorite cookies. I’m so happy I stumbled onto your videos.

The way he's casually eating raw dough.. My hero😂😂.

These came out amazing! Its was even better than the store bought fancy ones. ❤

Omg! My Favorite!!!! I’m making these now :) The dough is in the fridge These are so delicious!! I baked mine for 13 min and an extra min would have been ok. I knew they needed more time because the top still looked wet at 10 min. At 13 min it looked dry, so I took them out. But an extra min would have been ok as they are very soft still and no color at the bottom. Thank You 👩🏻‍🍳

This recipe was soooo easy. I highly recommend it for anyone, who’s craving a quick batch of cookies👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

You don't know how much i appreciate you putting the measurements in grams as well

I've made this a few times now and doubled the recipe since they are a hit in my house! Thank you! I love these and remind me of my home of Britain. I live in the US now.

I love to make them into triangles and dip one corner into chocolate. Always a big favorite!

I absolutely love these cookies. The best part is that practicing the shapes is fun and you get to eat any mistakes!

John, you are a ray of Sunshine! Your expression of joy for baking is inspirational

Perfect recipe for Christmas, shortbread and coffee with Baileys is our tradition on Christmas Day and I’m gonna have to try this! ♥️

Shortbread cookies are one of my favorite cookies along with my homemade Scones and Tea Cakes..yummy.

I used this recipe to make valentines day cookies for my boyfriend along with your American buttercream recipe to decorate them, they were gone within 2 days and were absolutely delicious!!

I tried these and THIS RECIPE IS THE ONLY RECIPE YOU NEED FOR SHORTBREAD COOKIES!! THRY WERE SO RICH, BUTTERY, DENSE BUT YET SOFT AND PERFCTION IN EVERY BITE! 🤤

Hi, just finished baking these and couldn't wait for them to cool so I tried one while still warm... oh my goodness....it was DELICIOUS! I doubt I will be paying almost $6.00 a box for those brand name store bought cookies again. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

This is my dream come true! My absolute favourite biscuit.

You already know how much shape and prettiness matter. I was stumped on cutting rectangles/planks for slice and bake. Thanks. This brick is just what I need.

So easy!!! Can't believe how good these cookies are!! Hubby ate the first batch. I'm making them again for the third time tomorrow lol...Thank you

I made them this weekend as my Christmas cookies (I used a snow man cookie cutter). I made it all by hand, and they are delicious. Much better than my sugar cookies, and I can tell because I made both kinds at once!

I love this recipe John! I have made these cookies at least 4 times so far. So delicious! However, I was having trouble with the rectangular prism method because everytime I would cut the prism it would smash the cookies and they looked ugly. So instead, I rolled the dough out into a sheet and cut the shapes out! I felt like the cookies were much more uniform and neat!

I have made this recipe countless times at this point. My favorite cookie. Thank you 🥰

These cookies were the best! I loved ur technique of rolling it up into a rectangular prism and slicing it 👌🏻

Hope he does a Christmas Cookie series! Love the PreppyKitchen!

I wish I could reach into my screen and pull out one of these shortbread cookies! They look so good! Guess I'll just have to wait until I get home from work and make 'em myself!

I love to watch him! His voice is so comforting!

I like him a lot. Don't know why! He's a very genuine smile that brings the cookies straight to the heart even when you know that you can't bake something half as good as he does!

Omg, I was just telling the parental I wanted a shortbread cookie recipe. Y'all have my phone tapd. 🤣 Can't wait to try. 😋

Yum! I make mine with brown sugar for a slight buttery toffee flavor! I'll have to try this recipe too!

I just made them and they tasted amazing! Thanks for the recipe ❤️

i love how passionate u r about your work. and thank you VERY MUCH for including info in grams as well💜💜💜

I just made them and within 4 minutes they were all gone, damn kids 😂

Wow those cookies looks delicious 😋 blessings from Chicago 🍀🍀🍀🇺🇸🇲🇽🇺🇸🇲🇽🇺🇸🇲🇽 all the best 😉

I just made these and they are amazing!! I think they are one of my favorite cookies now!

Literally thank you so much I don’t know where I went wrong when I tried to make shortbread before I can’t wait to try it this way!!

Lachlan & George are surely two fortunate children to have a wonderfully talented Chef for a Dad!

I love easy cooking and I love Shortbread cookies so I love this video.... 👍...

This has become my goto recipe whenever I need some shortbread fix. Tried a few times adding some cardamom powder to get some spiciness to the plain shortbread. Yummy! My morning and afternoon cuppa companion! 😋

Making them at least once a week. Easy and delicious!❤️

I love this guy and watch his tutorials even when I don't do them

"these might dont want a beauty contest" I dont care if my cookie and pie doesnt win a beauty contest, im here for its texture, taste and smell. This recipe has them all

They are beyond delicious! I made them and lemon cookies (and batter for crinkle cookies! I had so much flower flying that even the kids next door were covered in dust!) These were my all time favorite! I put them in the freezer and they came out perfectly! Oh, the lemon cookies were great too but I didn't add enough space in between them so I had one giant cookie and if anyone had seen them they would have been scared to taste them! (I also overbaked them by ten minutes! Fortunately I stored them with the shortbread cookies and they ended up soft after all!

I really love your channel. Your videos have it all in my opinion....they are super informative and educational but also beautifully presented and humorous too! Your little tips and tricks actually make a huge difference. For example, your trick about slightly kneading the shortbread when you form it into a brick so you don’t have any cracks.....I always wondered why my slice and bake cookies always had cracks and holes...now I know! I have just now stumbled onto your videos and will be trying many of your recipes. I have been a joyful baker for decades but have been diagnosed with a gluten allergy (I know....ugh!) but I have been experimenting with different flours a lot so I am still baking, but have to make that substitution. I will try your recipes and methods and let you know how it goes! Once again, great videos! Your buttercream and decorating videos are especially great! Thanks so much!

Your voice is soothing, thanks for the stress relieving video, and now I know how to make shortbread, double win :)

I have a recipe for pecan praline shortbread cookies that everyone loves. It’s essentially this recipe with crumbled pecan pralines mixed in. After slicing the dough, sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of flaked sea salt. That sea salt makes all the difference!

You are my new hero ! Your charm your skills as a non pro baker make me feel like I can do this too ! Thanks for following you dream ..shortbread are my fav cookie ...and these are it !

Made them yesterday, couldn’t wait to so didn’t refrigerate, absolutely melt in the mouth crumbly gorgeous. First time l’ve used icing sugar in a shortbread recipe. Add a (small) sprinkle of edible (English) lavender, fresh or dried for a tea-time special. Yummy!

Watched video, made 4 batches of these cookies in two days; including one with coconut butter for a family member who has a dairy allergy. All turned out fantastic and were loved by all the people I gave them to. Love your videos and am looking forward to making your blueberry pie next! Thank you! 💕❤️

I love this recipe! I know me, so I am sure to dip the cookie (half way) in some melted chocolate, let it cool and set up then serve them that way. But either way, this is sure to be a hit around here. :)

These cookies knocked my socks off! So easy and delicious…❤🎉😊

These look so delicious, I love shortbread cookies and will be making them. Thank you so much

Yum! I love shortbreads

"This feels naughty for some reason" 😂

I LOVE all your recipes, I have done about a dozen of them.

Personally, I love how easy you make everything look! You are fantastic to watch!! Easy on the eyes, easy on the ears, and everything you do seems hopeful.. like I am filled with hope that I could actually accomplish it!! I made your vanilla cake last week for someone's birthday. And it turned out absolutely fantastic, And I use your Italian meringue frosting, YUUUUMMMMY,!!! AND IT HELD UP FOR DAYS!! THE FROSTING WAS PERFECT DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY, 😂😂🤣🤣. EVERYONE LOVE IT, BUT I MADE A SECOND BATCH JUST FOR ME HERE AT HOME, 😂. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE, WHEN WE NEED YOU WITH A PERFECT RECIPE ❤️❤️❤️❤️💝

Love how you made yours into “dominoes” ❤️

I just found your videos a few days ago..you are so darling to watch..I have already watched many of your videos..being a Grandma..I could just pinch your cheek..you are so darling !

I love short bread biscuits! Those look so easy too. I did them with coconut on them once.

Oh, I made them today at work. These are the best shortbreads I've ever made. Everyone enjoyed them so much. And the texture. The shape. They're simply perfect! Can't be grateful enough for this post of yours. Hi from Scotland! ❤

Well You'll have to thank Scotland for this amazing biscuit 🏴

“This feels naughty for some reason.” 🤣🤣🤣 You and I were definitely thinking the same thing!

One of my grandmas best friend would make icebox cookies with almonds and some raisins and I haven’t had them since I was a little kid and I always think of them and I think I’m going to use this recipe and just add the almonds and raisins in! This looks so good!😁🤤

No music, a nice guy explaining & giving US measurements! I can’t ask for anything more. I’m adding Lavender. Thanks for a great lesson! I love your pizza recipe, it was my first try & came out great. I hope you’re kids loved, “Pizza night”! My Lavender Shortbread cookies were great, also.

The cookies were amazing! They were so good ! The only thing Is that it was really hard to make it into a block as it kept cracking I suggest making it ur own shape ! It’s fun !😃

*Is the Vanilla a crucial ingredient?* I don't have any and was hoping to make these. PLEASE HELP! 😅👩🏻‍🍳🍪 *UPDATE:* I made them without the vanilla and can 100% confirm that it is NOT a crucial ingredient! 🥳 They came out delicious! I rolled mine into a log instead of a brick because I wanted round cookies Cut 1/2 in. slices and baked at 350°F for 15 minutes

Thank yiu! I love the 'brick' method so much! It is waaay easier and quicker than the pan version!

Hi. I just made a batch of these. Soooo yummy. Thanks for the great recipe and your video instructions. I'm a visual learner and seeing what the dough and cookie look like really helps me.

I don't want to get a rise out of you guys, but the problem with shortbread is that they aren't making it any longer.

John: The salt's optional. Also John: NEVER SKIP THE SALT. IT'S SO IMPORTANT!

Oh my gooooosh! You're my hero! I'm going to make these for me and kiddo after we move into our new place! We loooove shortbread cookies!

Omg I just got around to making these and I’m in love 🥰 it’s buttery and moist and flavorful. Love you and your channel

Finally a chef who also admits eating raw dough like I do!

When he said "this feels naughty for some reason" i couldn't stop laughing

Love Preppy kitchen, I say again, you need a TV show! You have the talent, techniques, voice and looks; plus you’re funny!

Hi, thank you so much for this recipe. It came out so good. Everyone is loving it. Kudos to your work.❤️

I don't know why, but baking videos always make me giggle! By the way, I love shortbread cookies, they're absolutely scrumptious, if I weren't watching my diet I could eat at least nine shortbread cookies with a small glass of milk.

I had to ad a couple tsp of water to get that dough consistency, but it came out awesome in the end! I've never seen a shortbread dough with powdered sugar in the recipe, so I had to try this and it turned out great! I really want to try it with almond extract next time 😊

Thank you! I was searching for a short bread recipe on line and none came with measurements. Making this now!

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I no longer need to buy store bought cookies for my peanut butter cup recipe. Very helpful.

These are begging to be dipped in dark chocolate ganache

Warning; make sure the butter is actually room temp, or else you’ll end up with a sandcastle instead of a brick

These looks divine and with ingredients I always have on hand. (I love to bake-lol) Looking forward to making these! Thank you for sharing-glad I found your channel!

You are such a talented baker, i recently found your channel and everything looks so amazing

I melt chocolate and make a sandwich out of them, I call them “Mommas Milano’s” 😉. DELISH 💚

everything you make is so beautiful

Just made them. To my surprise they taste like Chicago Public School Butter Cookies. Took me back to my childhood in the 80's.Thanks great memories a simpler time.

I wanted to do baking gift bags and now I can do so many combinations to add to my gift bags 🎉 all on one channel 😍 so happy to get stared and you are so adorable and yes you make baking a fun and happy time. Ty for sharing 💖🙏☺
