Mastering the Sweet Simplicity: Cookies & Scones @Kitchen Barn

Join baker Tylor Alexander of Pilgrim Bread for a summer afternoon of sweet simplicity at Kitchen Barn. In this class you'll learn how one thoughtfully made cookie dough and one exceptional cream scone recipe can unlock dozens of variations — all while mastering essential baking techniques for home and professional kitchens alike.

You’ll explore how ingredient ratios affect flavor and texture, the science of creaming butter and sugar, the depth molasses and whole cane sugars like panela bring to cookies, and how to achieve perfect results from dough baked fresh, chilled, or frozen.

The featured cookie dough will be demonstrated with variations including classic chocolate chip, triple chocolate, and cranberry–white chocolate–walnut. Scone dough will be showcased through tastings of fig + gruyere and classic blueberry.

Participants will receive a take-home portion of freshly mixed cookie dough, printed recipes, and plenty of practical tips for freezing, batching, and modifying these base formulas at home.

This class is demonstration-focused with some hands-on shaping, and is ideal for home bakers, pastry lovers, and anyone looking to level up their cookie and scone game.
