You will be baking cookies for decorating ahead of time so they are ready to decorate at the start of class. A PDF with two of Tess's personal sugar cookie recipes, and a list of ingredients and supplies needed for the royal icing will be provided 5-7 days before class to provide time for shopping and baking. Recipes will include a soft and chewy sugar cookie and a more dense crisp sugar cookie. You can guess one of the instructor’s favorite holiday cookie cutter shapes is a gingerbread person. This is one shape that proves to be a lot of fun to decorate year after year and time will definitely be spent on this and other holiday shapes. Choose to bake one or both using cookie cutters of your choice. No fancy decorating tips or bags will be needed. You will use simple plastic sandwich bags to decorate.
