In this class you will create delicious, soft ‘American style’ cookies and divine melt in the mouth ‘Viennese style’ biscuits. You will firstly learn to cream and mix the vanilla or lemon flavoured biscuit dough before making a delicious cream filling. You will then pipe the mixture into even sized shapes ready to bake. Once baked, you will leave them to cool before utilising your piping skills and filling the biscuits before sandwiching them together. You will then learn all the secrets to creating perfect soft and chewy ‘chocolate chunk cookies’. This is the recipe that Xanthe is known for, hence the name ‘Cookie Girl’. You will unlock the secrets to keeping the chocolate soft and melted, and ensuring a crisp outside whilst leaving the inside soft and chewy. You will leave the class with around 20 cookies and filled biscuits
