Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Welcome to another post today, I will be sharing with you a really cool recipe and activity we did from food technology. So for food tech last week we had to make some chocolate chip cookies. What we had to do after making the dough for the cookies was weight the weight of the dough. We had to predict if the cookie would decrease its weight or maybe even increase its weight.

Hypothesis: I think that the weight of the cookie would decrease because the cookie is being cooked on a warm surface.

We were in pairs for this, our group number was, 6B.

Weight of dough  - 404g

Then we had to figure out the weight of one cookie. To do this we needed to divide the total weight (404g) and 12. Because we were making 12 cookies in total.

We solved it by using long division.

The total weight of 1 cookie was - 33.6g

We first rolled the cookies and, then used a fork to make stamps on it, one of the cookies was the test cookie. Meaning the cookie was the exact weight of the estimated weight of one cookie. Then we baked the cookies, and we also had to weight the cookie to see if the cookie had decreased in weight.

Weigh of cooked test cookie - 33g.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, we can say that when the cookies are baked the weight of the cookie would decrease.
