Join Chef Behnaz for a fun, hands-on workshop where you'll learn the art of creating beautifully decorated sugar cookies from start to finish.
Chef Behnaz will guide you through the essential techniques for making the perfect sugar cookie dough, including mixing, rolling, cutting with cookie cutters, and baking for consistent, professional-looking results.
