Cookies hold a special place in many hearts, especially during the holidays. If you’ve ever tried converting your favorite family recipes into gluten-free versions and had mixed results, you can look forward to starting some new traditions with the cookies you’ll prepare in this class. How about some cream cheese rugelach, pecan diamonds, shortbread, spritz cookies, and macaroons? You’ll learn the proper mixing, baking, and shaping techniques for preparing these sweet treats. We will also discuss substitute ingredients used to make gluten-free cookies with the flavor and texture of bakery varieties. Your guests are in for a treat this holiday season—especially when you take all of your cookies home to share.

As a participant in this class, you’ll enjoy lunch and receive a CIA cookbook and logo apron to take home.

Please note that this class is not taught in a gluten-free facility. Also, the emphasis of this class is gluten-free baking; other dietary needs will not be addressed.
