Cookies!

I think that it’s pretty clear by now that I like all things sweet and sugary. I have a particular fondness for cookies, especially at Christmas. There’s nothing like lifting the lid on a cookie jar and seeing a myriad of little treats, from simple sugar cookies to buttery spritz. While cookies are lovely all year round, they are particularly suited to the holidays. You can decorate them, package them up and give them as gifts, and they are mail-able. (Unlike most desserts- a chocolate soufflé or something ephemeral like that).
This year, In Good Taste is all about cookies. We have several holiday classes focused on the treats alone. On Sunday, November 23 at 2:00 at the Pearl District location, Ken Hoyt will teach “Cookies!”. His class will include a basic cookie dough that can be turned into a roll, bar, or drop cookie with just a few additions. It also freezes well.
He’ll also be preparing Gluten Free Brownies, Super Deluxe Chocolate Bark, and White Chocolate & Toasted Almond Caramel Corn. These cookies are elegantly addictive- and will soon become the most requested of your secret recipes.
On Saturday, November 22, we’re kicking off our Teen Cooking Series with a Teen Holiday Cookie Class. Not only will the teens get to make and eat cookies in class, but they’ll also have several dozen cookies to take home. The class is designed for pre-teens aged 10-14, and will include cookies such as Decorated Sugar Cookies, Ginger Bread Cookies, Chocolate Candy Cane Bark, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies and Chocolate Dipped Lace Cookies. It will start at 10:00 AM at the Lake Oswego Location.
