Holiday Cookies from around the World with Leah Guadagnoli

It’s COOKIE SEASON and we are celebrating with a special holiday cookie class where you’ll learn to make three holiday cookies from across the globe led by artist and chef Leah Guadagnoli. The class will include pizzelle, alfajores, and muskotsnittar.

Pizzelles are a traditional Italian wafer cookie with hints of anise flavor. Easy to make and highly ornamental, they are a winner at any gathering.

Alfajores are a delectably sweet dolce de leche sandwich cookie popular all throughout Latin America. Leah will show you her simple, no-fail hands-off method to making the perfect caramelly filling.

Muskotsnittar, a spiced Swedish cookie that is laced with warming ginger, clove, and nutmeg, making it a perfect ending to any holiday meal.

If you are a cookie enthusiast (as we are) we encourage you to bring a recipe for your own favorite holiday cookie. We hope to share stories and recipes as we munch on the three yummy cookies that Leah will create in this festive class. Let’s make this a real celebration of THE COOKIE.

This demonstration class (plus munching) is limited to only ten people.
