Cookie Bake & Take: Four Famous Ethnic Cookies

Impress family and friends with these beautiful cookies for the holidays! Create the rolled Norwegian Krumkakes made with cream, butter, and cinnamon or sometimes flavored with vanilla.

The chewy, almond Swedish Sandbakkelse are delicate golden brown in color and are baked in tiny tins to resemble tarts. Finally, we will master deep fried Rosettes - those exceedingly fragile, paper thin Scandinavian delicacies dusted with confectioners' sugar. Expect great recipes plus the many tips and techniques that will make your baking a success! **An ingredients fee of $14 is payable to the instructor at class.
