Cookies from the Edible Houston Team

The Edible Houston team is a huge fan of homemade gifts. So we dusted the kitchen table with flour and cut out cookies from Lebkuchen dough. We filled cellophane bags with Sesinelli, little gift jars with marzipan potatoes and Spritzgebäck and tied ribbons and string to turn the cookies into homemade gifts for the holidays. Try it yourself with these family recipes for delicious cookies. Bring a gift that everyone will love - homemade cookies - you never have to worry about returning them!

To help you with those cookie platters, Edible Houston is hosting our 2nd Annual Cookie Exchange On December 14, 6–9pm at Archway Gallery. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION

Simply bake and bring 3 doz of your favorite sweet treat and then exchange/trade with our chefs and fellow attendees. Each guest (and chef) will leave with 3 doz of assortment of treats - if we don't eat them all at the event! Kick back, mingle with the pastry chefs, sip wine and leave with a box full of treats. 

Participating Pastry Chefs - Alyssa Dole of Revival Market and Coltivare, Lisa Driver of Maple and Love, Kathleen Morgan from Honeychilds Sweet Creams, and Karla Espinosa, of Caracol.

All proceeds benefit Archway Gallery and Brighter Bites.
