Celebrating the Communities that Built El Paso!

Celebrate the holiday season with a sweet adventure into the past! Young chefs are invited to roll up their sleeves and bake/decorate their very own Christmas sugar cookies while learning about the history behind this tasty tradition. Did you know? Christmas sugar cookies have roots in 17th-century Pennsylvania, where German settlers, also known as the Pennsylvania Dutch, brought cookie-cutting traditions to America. These early cookies were often shaped like stars, animals, and bells, and were used as decorations as well as treats! Don’t be a humbug and miss this dish around the holidays!

The cost is $10 per child. All ingredients are provided. Please call (915) 533-5147 to register in advance as space is limited.

This event is part of a greater celebration, Our America, Our Texas, Our El Paso, an America250 food history series presented by the Magoffin Home State Historic Site.
