May is National Women’s Health Awareness Month, a time to celebrate and be inspired by women everywhere. One such inspiration is cookbook author and renowned baker Dorie Greenspan. Known for her love of cookies, Dorie has described her relationship with them as “friends forever.” Chef Maura shares this sentiment, believing that every bite of these small treats deserves the same care and attention as any elaborate dessert.

In this class, we’ll prepare some Sofra favorites, including Syrian shortbread and molasses cookies, alongside a selection of Dorie’s iconic creations: the famous World Peace cookie and a French classic with a twist, the sea salt sablé.

All proceeds for this class will go towards Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer to support their mission to end cancer by funding prevention and treatment research.

A note about our dessert classes: In addition to the recipes above, you’ll also enjoy a light savory meal. And don’t worry when your sweet tooth gets satisfied - we will send you home with leftovers to enjoy later!
