This is the year that you make amazing holiday cookies that look AND taste great! Friend, this class is perfect for you if:

Your previously holiday cookies have been doughy, crumbly, and/or tough;

-
You want to delight the little ones in your family with your cookie skills (and create new family memories in the process)!
Beautiful AND delicious holiday cookies? YES PLEASE!
Holiday cookies don't have to just be a placeholder on the dessert table. They can and should be delicious holiday treats!
When I was growing up, holiday cookies were always the "throwaway" dessert. They were there to look pretty...and not much else. They were dry and crumbly and tasted a little like cardboard. They were a dessert of last resort.
BUT HOLIDAY COOKIES ARE STILL COOKIES!!! And they deserve to be devoured like everything else.
They also deserve to be delicious. And after this class, you'll have ALL of my tips and techniques for THE BEST holiday cookies of your life!
Specifically, after this class on December 3rd, you'll know:
- How to make melt-in-your-mouth holiday cookies that EVERYBODY wants to eat;
- How to avoid doughy, tough holiday cookies;
- How to make my super secret Snickerdoodle Cookie recipe that BwB fans have been clamoring for all year (and you'll have the recipe!);
- How to make my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE raspberry thumbprint cookie and my famous sugar cookies;
- Basic cookie decorating tips that will make you look like a cookie genius this holiday season;
- And so much more!
After this class, the biggest issue you'll have is making sure that your cookies make it to the holiday dessert table! And that nobody absconds with them before the big day!
Join me on December 3rd and let's reframe your holiday cookie problem FOREVER!

I'm a self-taught baker and I've worked for years to achieve my own baking confidence and consistency. I created the Begin with Butter Home Baking Academy in 2022 to help people overcome their biggest (and smallest!) baking challenges, and to make baking accessible and fun!

Read MoreI’ve had a natural talent for baking for years. But I wanted to solidify my practice and hone my skills to potentially sell my cakes. The tips and tricks were amazing. I learned so much and I look forward to no longer having any mishaps because of the information that was provided. Now, if I could just learn packaging tips (do you use a cake board to package a Bundt cake?) and how to price my cakes? Then ilI’ll be well on my way. Thanks again Shani! Looking forward to see who was selected to attend a free class before the end of the year.

Read MoreI have to say that I was tempted to learn all this bread making secrets, because the bread that I was making in my bread machine was not looking like the store bought version and I couldn't figure out why. When I say all the temptation on the Begin with Butter IG page and was furious that I couldn't smell or taste what was happening in those Reels, I didn't hesitate to sign up for the Bread Bootcamp, because let's just say I needed some help. Since taking the Bootcamp, we had a semi disaster Week 1, but Week 2 has gone off without a hitch. We have made 2 loaves of bread from the ingredients that are in the house and it is "Francois-approved" meaning that my 5 year-old will let you know if it tastes like some trash. Plus it was a great time getting him involved in the process. Not only did we learn how to incorporate kitchen tools (like my bread machine) into this process, but we learned why going the old fashion way with hands and forearms makes a better bread. Now my house doesn't have to smell yeasty just during the Holidays. BTW the bonuses we got just for participating OMG!! I am telling you don't miss another BWB Class you don't know what you will be missing out on.
