Schedule
MONDAY - Shortbread
The most basic of cookies involves few ingredients.
Shortbread is great on its own, but is also a vehicle for stronger flavors, like glazes and ganache. We are going to make a vanilla and chocolate version of these cookies.
TUESDAY - Drop Cookies
Make Lemon Sugar Cookies and Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
For the Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies: choice to omit the chopped pecans and replace with dried cherries, or use both.
Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
WEDNESDAY - Rolled and Piped Cookies
Wednesday introduces some more advanced baking techniques. Homemade versions of cookies usually bought at the store.
THURSDAY - Bars
Bars sometimes veer into the cake or candy category, but are always associated more with cookies than anything else.
We’ll make the perfect brownie recipe (to me) and a layered fruit bar you can make with your favorite jam and fresh fruit. I’ll be using strawberry jam and rhubarb. See the recipe for flavor ideas.
FRIDAY - Fancy Cookies
Cookies aren’t usually associated with “fancy” or upscale, but these cookies bring us there. We’ll do the incredibly easy Elephant Ear Cookies using store bought puff-pastry and then make rolled Tuile Cookies.
Elephant Ears (no recipe, just have puff pastry and granulated sugar on hand)
