This PRIVATE AZPCA-only class is a team effort in fun and, lots of cookies to take home! You will work in groups on two different cookie recipes. As the cookies are completed, they will be equally distributed to all, on a giant cookie table! Once class is over, you can fill your containers with the bounty of cookies that will appear! No stress at home, get your baking done in three hours and go home with dozens and dozens of a variety of cookies! Class will start with a brief instructional review of the recipes. Be prepared to take some pictures and enjoy some refreshments when you are finished! The class is best enjoyed with some prior baking knowledge.
