Gourmet Cookies (Afternoon)

This isn’t your average cookie jar. In this 2-hour class, join pastry chef Shanna Avila of Crumbs & Crumbles Bakery to explore refined, bakery-style cookies inspired by classic European flavors and techniques. From chewy to crisp, these bakes are full of texture, flavor, and just the right amount of fancy.
What’s on the menu:
• Amaretti – These chewy Italian almond cookies are naturally gluten-free and packed with nutty, aromatic flavor. We’ll cover how to achieve their signature crackled tops and delicate texture.
• Linzer Cookies – Buttery sandwich cookies filled with vibrant jam and dusted with powdered sugar. Learn to roll, cut, and assemble these elegant bakery favorites.
• Gingerbread Thumbprints – Warmly spiced cookies filled with a rich seasonal center that brings cozy holiday flavor to every bite.
• Sablé Breton – These classic French butter cookies are rich, tender, and finished with elegant details that make them perfect for gifting or holiday trays.
By the end of class, students will leave with a beautiful assortment of gourmet cookies and the confidence to recreate elevated bakery-style treats at home.
This will be an interactive demonstration class.
