A warm, cozy wave of holiday cheer hits the moment you step into this Christmas cookie decorating class in Chicago, where sugar, spice, and pure creative joy take center stage! You’ll be guided through the magic of Christmas cookie decorating at an easy, welcoming pace, perfect whether you’re bursting with cookie decorating ideas or just dipping a toe into the world of festive treats. Your instructor walks you through how to decorate Christmas cookies using approachable techniques like piping, flooding, wet-on-wet designs, and simple textures that make every cookie look like it came straight off a holiday baking show.
You’ll decorate six delicious shortbread cookies -- two ugly sweaters, a tree, a snowflake, a mitten, and an ornament -- and you’ll even see how royal icing is made from scratch so you can recreate your favorite Christmas cookie ideas at home. Everything you need is provided, and you’re encouraged to learn, laugh, and play with the process, whether you’re a hands-on baker or more of a happy taste-tester.
This is one of those Christmas activities that feels both festive and relaxing, and a sweet addition to your list of things to do in Chicago this season. By the end, you’ll walk out with beautifully decorated cookies, a handful of new skills, and a little extra holiday sparkle!
