The cookie puts you in a food coma 🤤 - Decided to surprise my husband with this experience for his birthday. He loved it! Firstly it was amazing to hear the history of chocolate chip cookie and then do a blind chocolate tasting.
Baking the cookies itself was a fun activity, but learning new technique to tasting the amazing cookie. Came out happy with a sugar high 😍
Brennan has done an amazing job creating this cozy space to enjoy a fun activity! Would recommend 100%!

A must-join Cookie workshop - Such a perfect class just right before Christmas! I guarantee that this would be the best baking class you’ve ever been to 🍪 Brennan was such a great teacher and story teller, who taught us some history about chocolate chip cookies and all of those ‘could’ & ‘should’ for baking. Those really changed the result and I’d easily say this is the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever had!

Awesome cookies, class and teacher! - Great experience for both my daughter and myself! We really appreciate all the time and details Brennan put into designing a creative, educational (could but should;) and delicious class! He is excellent at teaching kids and I already shared some lessons he taught us. The cookies were so yummy and now the challenge is to try it on our own-Thank You Brennan!

So much fun -- for visitors and locals alike! - While visiting SF, two friends who live in town and I took this class. We had so much fun. It was the right blend of history, education, tasting, and then baking and eating. Brennan was a terrific host and guide. We learned a lot and felt very well taken care of. Brennan's home is warm and this class is like a fun, low-key afternoon among friends. It was an unexpected and outstanding treat. I highly recommend.

Surprisingly really fun and insightful! - This class was surprisingly awesome! I had no idea there was so much history behind the classic chocolate chip cookie. I typically don't bake and have always been intimidated by it, but after taking this class I bought a kitchen scale and ingredients to attempt at home! That truly shows how inspiring and insightful the class is. In addition, it's super fun and engaging to do with a group of friends, family, etc.
We learned about the history of the chocolate chip cookie, got to taste some chocolate and learn about the tasting notes, then we got right into baking. I never knew there were so many strategies to baking. Brennan's background in teaching really shines here - he engages you with his upbeat energy and fun activities. I highly recommend taking his class!

Must go! - I absolutely love baking cookies and have been baking for many years but I learned so many ways to enhance my cookies through this class with Brennan! I attended this workshop at his apartment with some friends and had an amazing time. We learned about Brennan’s great qualifications, the history of chocolate chip cookies and even did a blind chocolate chip tasting. We baked cookies from scratch and learned all his secrets to creating the most perfect cookie (with his grandmother’s secret recipe). Since I’ve been baking cookies for quite some time, I asked so many questions about what could make the cookie better and Brennan was nice enough to answer all of them! I can’t wait to elevate my cookies in a new way. I would highly recommend this class. It was fun to do with friends but also fun to learn new things!

Cookie-liscious - Baking cookies at my house isn’t this much fun! We were a little skeptical at first with it being in someone apartment but all worries instantly disappeared after meeting Brennan. He was friendly and made us feel at home. He had chocolate chip history and stories to entertain us. We examined different chips and were ask to describe the smell, feel and look before we tasted them. He explained everything, the importance of the correct ingredients and measurements. Then we baked and the best part we ate the cookies They were delicious and we had a great afternoon.

Must do experience while in SF! Them cookies are straight fire - I’m not sure what that little white boy is putting in those cookies but by goolly are they damn good. Thank goodness he gave us the recipe cause I had to know! Brennan did a wonderful job of thoroughly explaining and teaching how to make in my opinion one of the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had west AND east of the Mississippi. Who knew that where the chocolate is sourced from and how it’s processed would make such a difference! Thank you Brennan for an amazing experience. Highly recommended and can’t wait to bake my own!
