Gourmand Cookies and Brownies with Lauren Haas

February 17, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Explore the world of gourmand cookies with Chef Lauren Haas. In this course, you’ll learn to make rich, indulgent, and visually striking cookies and brownies that are true works of art.

Sample recipes include brown-butter toffee pecan cookies, buckwheat brownies, raspberry matcha cookies, and apple pie cookies. You’ll also delve into the science of cookies, examining how mixing methods, baking temperatures, and ingredient choices—such as eggs, flour, and butter—impact the final taste and texture of your cookies and brownies. This understanding will empower you to adjust your own favorite recipes to achieve your desired look, taste, and texture.

By the end of the course, you’ll leave with a stellar collection of cookie recipes and a selection of decadent cookies.
