Mindful Cuisine Cooking Class: Festive Cookies with Alternative Flours

Explore the flavors, techniques and proper use of a variety of alternative flours to give your traditional cookies a gluten-free twist. You will make, sample and take home five tasty varieties, including: Cinnamon Shortbread (almond, brown rice and white rice flours), Jam Bars (oat and almond flours), Crunchy Coconut Cookies (coconut flour), Chocolate Chip (oat and brown rice flours), and, finally, Chewy Fresh Ginger Orange Cookies (almond, brown rice, sweet rice and tapioca flours).

Please dress comfortably, wear flat shoes, and bring a snack to get you through the lunch hour. Please note that while the flours used in this class are all gluten free, we will not be working in a gluten free kitchen.

This class is offered through the University of Utah’s Lifelong Learning Program.
