Cookie Cutter
Since we were robbed of the annual cookie-filled issue of Gourmet, we'll have to fend for ourselves this season. Luckily, the French Culinary Institute is on hand to assist in the butter-flour-sugar department with its Holiday Cookie Intensive ($195). Work with the school's pastry instructors to gain the proper techniques to make photo-worthy (and delicious) holiday treats. 462 Broadway (at Grand St.); internationalculinarycenter.com
