COLUMBUS COOKIE CLASSIC TASTER TICKET

Think you know a great cookie when you taste one? We need you.

This Taster Ticket gets you into the 2026 Columbus Cookie Classic, where you’ll taste cookies from amateur bakers across Columbus and help decide which entries deserve some serious baking bragging rights. This year's Classic is Sunday, November 8, 2026, at Seventh Son Brewing 2nd Floor Sun Room!

Your Taster Ticket includes samples from every competing baker in the category and event time you select, plus the opportunity to vote for your favorite.

This year, the Columbus Cookie Classic features two categories. Each category has its own event and tasting time, so be sure to purchase your Taster Ticket for the category you want to attend.

OATMEAL COOKIE CATEGORY

Taste your way through a lineup of creative oatmeal cookies featuring all kinds of mix-ins, with one important rule: no chocolate.

1. Event and tasting: 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM
2. Tasting ticket is valid for the Oatmeal Cookie Category only

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE CATEGORY

Taste some of Columbus' best takes on THE classic cookie.

1. Event and tasting: 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM
2. Tasting ticket is valid for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Category only

HOW TASTING WORKS

Each Taster Ticket includes one tasting portion from every competing baker in your selected category.

There will be up to 20 different cookies to taste in a category, but the final number may be less depending on the number of official bakers registered.

This is a curated tasting experience, not an unlimited cookie buffet. We want to be transparent that your number of tastes is determined by the number of bakers competing.

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE

After tasting your way through the competition, you'll have the opportunity to cast your vote and help determine the People's Choice winner.

Every baker brings their own recipe, style, and take on the category, so come ready to taste, compare, and decide which cookie deserves your vote.

Please note: each category has its own event time. Be sure to check your ticket and arrive during the correct tasting window for the category you selected.

Come hungry. Taste them all. Pick your favorite. Help crown a winner.
