Christmas Shaker Cookie Magic

Step into the sweet world of cookie artistry in this fun and interactive 3-hour class! You’ll create whimsical shaker cookies—decorated treats with clear isomalt “windows” and colorful sprinkles that shake inside. Cookies will be pre-baked so you can focus on the fun parts: sugar techniques, assembly, and decorating. Each student will complete 8 cookies (2 each of 4 different designs) to take home, perfect for sharing or gifting.

Along the way, you’ll practice:

• Safely melting and pouring isomalt for crystal-clear windows
• Using a chef torch to remove air bubbles from isomalt
• Assembling layered cookies with sprinkles sealed inside
• Color theory and choosing color combinations
• Using royal icing for outlining, flooding, and clean finishes
• Adding decorative details, including wet-on-wet designs and accents

These versatile techniques can be adapted for cookies year-round—think birthday parties, baby showers, weddings, or any celebration where you want to wow guests with something unique and interactive.

An interactive demo on how to cook isomalt for this technique will be done at the beginning of class.

Whether fairly new to cookie decorating or looking to expand your skills, this class is a chance to learn professional tricks, explore your artistic side, and leave with beautiful cookies that sparkle inside and out!

Pre-requisites: Students should have some experience with using Royal Icing to flood and outline.
