In this hands on class, you will produce your own Springerle, molded gingerbread, Speculaas (think Windmill cookies) and luscious almond Frankfurter Brenton cookies. You will also learn a simple procedure for applying chocolate to the backs of the cookies. Beautiful additions to your holiday baking!  Connie is the owner of House on the Hill, Inc., a company that provides working replicas of both historic cookie molds and newly designed and hand carved cookie mold designs. She started collecting the molds primarily as a baker of Springerle cookies and became interested in their history and art as much as their function. Since buying the business in 2002, Connie has expanded the range of cookie molds to include over 500 designs. She continues to find and develop molded cookie recipes. House on the Hill's molds have been featured in Martha Stewart Living, Victoria, and other baking and crafting publications. Connie appeared on the Martha Stewart Show in December 2011. There will be a 30 minute break during this workshop for lunch ~ there are a number of restaurants within walking distance or feel free to bring your lunch. **Bring a shiny aluminum cookie sheet to transport your cookies home to dry and bake.
