Are you ready to bake some delicious Christmas cookies? It's time to get in the spirit of the holiday season. These cookies are so good that even Santa approves of them! These could be Christmas cookies or even Christmas in July cookies!!! 

Because this is a self-paced class we do not meet in a live classroom.  You are free to fit this class into your schedule when the time is best for you!  There's lots of FLEXibility! 

I make these cookies every year for my neighbors, Christmas Eve, and as gifts for friends. I love that when they are trayed they look beautiful, but they do not take long to create.

Week 1 - Chocolate Brittle 
Sometimes called "Chocolate Bark", this cookie has never failed me! I have yet to find someone that doesn't LOVE this cookie! You're going to be surprised at how easy it is to make this cookie and the simplicity of the ingredients. 

Week 2 - Wreath/Holly Cookies
These cookies are so colorful that they will brighten up your holiday cookie tray. You can decide if you want to make individual holly cookies or mold them into a large wreath. 

Week 3 - Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies
I'm sure you've seen these cookies! They are always crowd pleasers. If you want to be adventurous, try a different type of Hershey Kiss and see what you think.

Week 4 - Snickerdoodles
These were the first cookie that I ever learned to make. They are delicious and simple!  


I can't wait to help your student bake these amazing cookies!
