Description
It's back! Join Chef Nealey Thompson and Chef Paul for the 5th annual Holiday Cookie Swap, the wildest, messiest, most gloriously chaotic class in The Cook's Warehouse history. Five years in, we still can't get enough of it. (And seriously, the amount of flour, sugar, and holiday insanity it takes to pull this off deserves its own mention.) If you've been looking for a new holiday tradition, this is it: a festive night of baking, laughing, sampling, and heading home with a box full of homemade holiday cookies.
Here's how it works: you'll be divided into teams, and each group bakes a few recipes from our holiday cookie lineup. Along the way, our chefs share the baking secrets behind great holiday treats, from buttery shortbread and perfectly chewy molasses cookies to delicate financiers and flaky rugelach. At the end of the night, everyone's treats are combined and packaged into individual boxes, so you'll leave with an assortment of cookies to share with friends and family (or keep all to yourself, we won't tell). You get to sample TONS of cookies, and we do all the dishes!
Past Favorites Have Included:
- Pistachio Shortbread: Buttery, crumbly, and studded with bright green pistachios.
- Gruyère Crackers: A savory, cheesy break from all that sugar.
- Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies: Warmly spiced and perfectly chewy, the ultimate holiday classic.
- 'Tis the Season Holiday Bark: Festive, colorful, and dangerously easy to snack on.
- Bourbon Balls: A boozy, no-bake Southern holiday tradition.
- Triple-Berry Sugar Cookies: A fruity, festive spin on the classic sugar cookie.
- Matcha-White Chocolate Financiers: Delicate French almond cakes with an earthy, sweet twist.
- Linzer Bars: All the jammy, nutty charm of Linzer cookies in an easy bar form.
- Biscotti: Crisp, twice-baked, and made for dunking in coffee or cocoa.
- Snowballs: Tender, nutty cookies rolled in a snowy coat of powdered sugar.
- Peanut Butter Kisses: The nostalgic favorite with a chocolate kiss on top.
- Coconut Macaroons: Chewy, golden, and naturally gluten-free.
- Taylor Swift Chai Cookies with Eggnog Frosting: Warmly spiced and topped with festive eggnog frosting.
- Tahini Cookies: Nutty, rich, and just a little unexpected.

- And many more!
Sugar, spice, and everything nice: we promise there's a flavor for everyone. Warm cider, soup, and savory snacks will keep you fueled throughout the evening. Grab a friend (or two!) and join Atlanta's most delicious holiday tradition.
