No need to make a trip to France to learn to make these tasty sweet treats.  Once you make these simple but finicky treats, you will never buy them again.  These traditional sandwich cookies date back to the 16th century and remain as popular as ever.

In this class, we will learn a few pastry techniques, including: folding ingredients, piping perfect rounds and food coloring for the brightest treat. Participants will also make a chocolate ganache filling and will take home more than a dozen macarons.

Please bring:

• A container to bring your cookies home in.

Details:

• There is a $10 materials fee included in the price of class.
• To comply with WA State Health Department guidelines, please wear closed-toe shoes to class.
