The Science of Baking: The Great Chocolate Chip Cookie Experiment

Tuesday January 7, 2025 12:05pm - 1:20pm PST

Café

Join us in the food lab for “The Great Chocolate Chip Cookie Experiment''. First, we’ll examine the role of flour, leavening agents, sugar, eggs, fats, time, and temperature and how they work together to create delicious baked goods. After baking the control recipe, students will break into teams where they will change ingredients, proportions, and ratios in the recipe to see how it affects the cookie’s flavor, texture, spread and color. Be prepared for a lot of taste testing – and homemade hot cocoa to accompany the cookies!
