Take-Home Thanksgiving-Themed Cookies
This Thanksgiving, let dessert be the conversation piece. Join us for a hands-on, family-friendly workshop that walks you through every step of creating a beautifully decorated sugar cookie, from the dough itself to the final sprinkle. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned baker, we'll share great tips and techniques and send you home with a dozen cookies ready for the Thanksgiving table. We begin where every great cookie does: with the dough. We'll share the secrets to a sugar cookie that holds its shape, including how to handle and roll it, and how many times you can re-roll the scraps before the texture suffers. Next comes a Royal Icing demonstration covering how to mix it, how to adjust it for outlining versus filling, and why some bakers swear by meringue powder. Then watch as we demonstrate how to decorate a series of sample cookies, showing how a few simple techniques add up to a beautiful finish. Then it's your turn at the decorating station! With bags of icing in a rich autumn palette, fine piping tips, paintbrushes, and an assortment of sprinkles and pearls, you'll decorate your own set of 12 cookies while we offer pointers and tips. You'll be amazed at the professional-quality results you achieve in this fun, family-friendly class. Your dozen cookies go home boxed and ready to grace the dessert table, travel as a hostess gift, or mark each guest's place setting... assuming they last that long!
