Our most popular class of the year!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Fancy Schmancy Holiday Cookies classes are here! Join us for our annual cookie-making extravaganza that’s always tasty and always festive.
The 2026 cookie lineup has something for everybody. We'll be traveling the world, taking inspiration from Switzerland, Sweden, Hong Kong, and the USA. We’ve chosen recipes that balance flavor and technique, featuring a variety of nuts, fruits, chocolate, and spice. You'll leave class with a platters’-worth of cookies and the knowledge to make them for many holiday parties to come!
Now on to this year's Fancy Schmancy Holiday Cookies. Drum roll, please…
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—Our head instructor, Sue Chagas, got creative with this one. It's 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. You'll eat several before you realize it!
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 tart version of the Swedish Princess Cake! This is the showstopper of the class—super pretty, very tasty, and a little challenging to make. Get ready to practice pâte sucrée rolling and learn to make diplomat cream.
*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.
This Special Class has some Special Rules:
- If you cancel a Fancy Schmancy Holiday Cookies class with 7 or more-days notice, you will receive a full refund or credit towards a future class.
