Yummy! Is all I can say after last night’s fabulous cookie feast! The setting was Campbell’s Gourmet Cottage in Louisville, KY. I have been baking all week, preparing for The “Sublime European Cookie Class”. I used 14 pounds of unsalted butter!
Needles to say….we all tasted great cookies!
Susan, my super-dupper help (and the owner of Campbells) was so much help! Serving tall classes of ice cold milk, and passing tray after tray of butter-y brown-sugar shortbread cookies and chocolate laced biscotti sweet treats. We tasted 11 different cookie recipes.
All of the student were sent home with a fun parting gift; a bakery box full of assorted cookies.
If you missed this class, don’t worry there are several other cookie classes coming in the next 3 months. Cookie Decorating classes, Gifts from the Kitchen and a special Girls Night Out Cookie Swap. Can’t wait !
Thanks to all of the students who came to class! Enjoy the treats!
Happy Baking!

Thank you to all of the wonderful students at Viking Cooking Schools! I may have had more fun and learned more than any of you! What a tremendous response to my classes!
God Bless each one of you!
If you were unable to attend one of the “Holiday Cookie Decorating Classes with Cathy Webb”…… maybe you will think about it next year? I hope so! We had so much fun!
(FIY: I’ll be back in Memphis, April 3rd and 4. Teaching “Easter Cookie Decorating”.
Also, May 8 and 9 for a “Gals Night Out Class” Wait until you see the cookies we will be making! So fun!)
I spent the whole month of Dec. 08 traveling around the Mid West (Memphis, Nashville (Franklin), Chicago and St. Louis, teaching cookie decorating classes for Viking.
A huge tip-o’-the hat to Viking Cooking Schools! They are without a doubt the most professional and nicest chefs and staff in the whole culinary world! Each manager and all the chefs and staff made me feel so special! Thank you, thank you!
I encourage everyone within 200 miles of a Viking Cooking School to take a class (or two). Make 2009 your year to learn a new skill. (Cooking or other).
In addition to my teaching classes, I would, (as all of you) make cookies.
This year, I added a couple of new, really cute Holiday cookies. I have a Polar Bear and a skate I really like. I will post these on my website as soon as I have photographs completed.
I am starting to collect photos of classes and photos of cookies you have sent me.
I will be creating a space to post them on my website this year.
My niece, Alyssa who lives in Rome, sent the cutest photo of her girlfriends decorating Christmas cookies at her kitchen table.
Many blessing for a wonderful 2009.
Happy Baking!

Welcome to the official Cathy’s Designer Cookies Blog!
This is a monthly story page. I’ll be giving you tips and info I’ve found helpful throughout my cookie making career. You may hear fun stories about my little dog, Molly. She LOVES my cookies, and will steal them anytime she gets a chance. (Maybe a “Molly-Cam” video?) There will also be tips from my clients and students. I often get the best tips from students in my classes.
I’ll also be passing on fun stories and maybe a photo or two from you. So, send me your cookie stories. I can’t include all of them, but I will read each one. Be sure and check out my links on “Cathy’s Favorites“. It’s an easy way to find the items I love and use everyday to make cookie baking easier! Also, my calendar is full of lots of up coming events and classes you will want to know about!
Happy Cookies!
Cathy
