Our most popular class of the year!
Get ready to roll up your festive sweater sleeves and sing along to classic holiday tunes, because we’ve got another installment of Fancy Schmancy Holiday Cookies coming at you!
The 2024 cookie lineup has something for everybody. We balance the flavors and techniques represented in this class to include one recipe that features nuts, fruits, chocolate, and spice. You'll leave class with festive, tasty treats and the knowledge to make them for many holiday parties to come! And now on to this year's Fancy Schmancy Holiday Cookies - drum roll:
Panellets A traditional Spanish cookie (little bread in Catalan) for All Saints Day; our version is bursting with the sweet, nutty flavor of coconut and rolled in pearl sugar for extra crunch! And it’s gluten-free to boot!
Guava GoGos A fusion of a classic asian-style, flaky pastry filled with Guava fruit paste from Latin America
Chocolate Ganache Thumbprints A rich, chocolate cookie filled with smooth, creamy chocolate ganache, sprinkled with Maldon Sea Salt Flakes to finish
Gingerbread Snowflakes This is for the traditionalists! Spicy enough to awaken your tastebuds for the holidays; decorated with a little royal icing to celebrate the season
Virtual Bakers The class materials are available now. Please have the potatoes cooked and mashed!
While we can sometimes leave out ingredients, provide substitutions, or allow students to bring their own gluten-free flour, several of these cookies cannot be altered and still achieve success. If you have any questions regarding the need to make substitutions, please contact us so we can discuss what will be possible.

Fancy Schmancy Holiday Cookie Ingredient Kit 2026 for Pick Up
Get (almost!) everything you need for this year's Fancy Schmancy Holiday Cookie lineup. Ingredients will come already scaled for your baking pleasure.
The 2026 cookie lineup has something for everybody:
Basler Leckerli—a traditional Swiss cookie with almonds and candied fruit; chewy and a little nutty. It tastes like the winter holidays.
Hong Kong Snowballs—a riff on a coconut-stuffed Hong Kong cocktail bun. Think shredded coconut filling in a vanilla-scented short dough. It's gently flavored and not too sweet!
Chocolate Mint Cheers—tender chocolate icebox cookies cut into squares, dipped in dark chocolate mint ganache, and decorated with nonpareils and crushed candy cane. These sing the holidays.
Regent Tartlette—a two-bite version of the Swedish Princess Cake! This is the showstopper of the class—super pretty, very tasty, and a little challenging to make.
Besides most of the ingredients, the kit will also include: sheets of parchment paper, an 8x8 disposable pan, a cookie scoop, copies of the recipes, a packing slip with a guide to the stickers on each ingredient, and a shopping list of the ingredients you will need to get. Please note that items in the kits cannot be swapped out or exchanged. (If you have a duplicate, share with a friend or invite a buddy to bake with you!)
You will need a mini muffin pan to make one of the cookies. It is not included in the kit.
Kits can be picked up in our Bakeshop, located at 3711 Plaza Drive starting on Monday, November 30th. Quantities are limited!
