Class Description:
Take your baking skills to the next level with this daytime class. Cookies and baked bars may look easy, but everyone needs to learn the proper techniques to whip up beautiful baked goods at home. You'll learn how to make a variety of cherished favorites, from chocolate-studded treats to spiced oatmeal cookies and sweet, fudgy bar creations. Your guide is Pastry Chef Catie Wiley, who joins us after a distinguished career as a pastry chef at several iconic patisseries and restaurants on the East Coast.
 
We'll start with a version of the beloved classic - chewy, gooey, double chocolate cookies loaded with white chocolate morsels. You'll learn the techniques for achieving soft, slightly underbaked middles and crinkly, crisp edges every time. Next, you'll whip up a batch of sweet, vanilla-scented blondies - those fudgy, dense bar cousins to brownies. Perfect for customizing with mix-ins like butterscotch chips, toasted nuts or dried cranberries. Then we'll explore the warm spices and homey flavors of oatmeal raisin cookies. From proper creaming methods to folding in plump raisins and oats, these timeless treats are a nostalgic delight and simply irresistible! By the end of the class, you'll take home an assortment of fresh-baked cookies and bars, sure to delight friends, family or a hungry crowd. You'll also gain recipes and pro tips for whipping up these classics whenever cravings strike.
