A little taste of what’s coming: The photos shown here aren’t the finished class project, but they’ll give you a peek at the retro baking goodness Kimberly is working with. She’s still busy baking, making, and working her magic on the final Cookie-dex sample. The finished project will have a similar nostalgic kitchen feel, but the exact design is still baking.
Retro Recipe Memory-dex + Cookie Swap
A little baking, a little paper crafting, and a whole lot of nostalgic holiday fun.
For this special December class, Kimberly is combining two of our favorite things: making something beautiful by hand and sharing something delicious.
You’ll create a retro-inspired Recipe Memory-dex, complete with a decorated storage box and approximately 8 double-sided dividers filled with cheerful vintage kitchen details—think mixers, rolling pins, aprons, baking tools, cookies, and all the charm of a colorful mid-century kitchen.
Then comes the best part: the recipes.
Each participant will bring 24 homemade cookies and submit the recipe (in advance so we can format a copy for everyone in the class). With 12 participants, that means you’ll get to sample one of each cookie during our swap and take another home to share… or quietly claim for yourself. We won’t judge.
Your recipe cards can be punched and added right into the Memory-dex between the decorative dividers, creating a growing collection of tried-and-shared recipes, favorite treats, and sweet memories from the people who made them.
And because this class lands right at the beginning of December, the finished project makes an especially lovely last-minute handmade holiday gift. Give it filled with the recipes from our swap, add a few family favorites of your own, or keep it for yourself and let the collection grow year after year.
All class materials and tools are included.
Participants will provide 24 homemade cookies and email their recipe to Jess in advance for formatting.
Come hungry. Leave with cookies, recipes, and a handmade keepsake that may just become part of your holiday tradition.
