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.
