Let’s face it, it’s not the holidays without cookies! We’ll be making three different cookies: flourless peanut butter milk chocolate chip, coconut macaroons, and soft ginger-molasses cookies. All are perfect for gift-giving or enjoying them all to yourself!

Please invite your non-local friends and family to register as well. You can take the class 'together'!

You must provide us with a valid email when you register so we can send you a link to the class and send you a supply list. (Cooking along with JoAnne at the time of class is optional. We’ll still provide the recipes!). This is a live online course.
