What’s on the Menu:

Stollen Bites
Black & White Cookies
Hazelnut Macaroons
Haselnuß-Makronen, Schwarz-Weiß-Gebäck and Stollenkonfekt: some of these cookies have more syllables than they have ingredients, and all of them are must-haves in the holiday season. Join guest teacher Jürgen Krauss, fan favorite on the 2021 season of the Great British Baking Show, for a class all about his three favorite cookies. First, Jürgen creates a bite-sized version of the classic German stollen that comes together in a fraction of the time. Studded with raisins, ginger, currants and a generous splash of rum, these cookies also feature our new favorite unexpected spice blend and a handful of candied orange peel. Then, you’ll make his Black & White Cookies, which are perfect for the artistic and ambitious bakers out there. You’ll make two doughs—one made with lemon zest and plenty of good vanilla and the other with rich cocoa powder—then follow Jürgen’s lead to combine them into a checkerboard pattern, a spiral or a creative marbled dough. Whatever design you choose to make, the resulting cookies are picture-worthy and meltingly tender. Finally, we’ll make a macaroon cookie that has just four ingredients. Naturally gluten-free, this cookie combines the cloudlike texture of a meringue with the richness of toasted nuts. You can follow in Jürgen’s footsteps and use hazelnuts, though this cookie can be made with nearly any nut. You’ll come away from this class with options for everyone, whether they love a fruity dessert, a nutty cookie or a chocolatey treat.
About Jürgen: Jürgen Krauss is a former Database Administrator turned professional baker, and a former contestant of The Great British Baking Show.

He is the author of “The German Baking Book: Cakes, Tarts, Breads, and More from the Black Forest and Beyond.”
