Chocolate
Chip Cookies
The Dream Team
Cookie dough
 In
order to determine if you could cheat
and buy ready-to-bake cookies, bake
cookies from homemade dough, cookie
dough sold in the traditional log shape,
and the new dough bars
 Would you rather enjoy a homemade
cookie right out of the oven…or cheat
and buy ready to make cookie dough?
Experiment time!!
 To
find out if the tasters could tell the
difference, they baked up three batches
of cookies
 1st batch included a homemade recipe
which was taken from the back of a
semisweet chips
 2nd batch was refrigerator dough sold in
the traditional log shape
Cont…
 3rd
batch was from a new product sold as
a dough bar.
 The dough in the 3rd batch was already
pre cut into pieces so all you have to do is
it throw them into the oven and
bammmm

Results
 The
homemade batch didn’t win?
 When it comes down to chocolate chip
cookies, the number of chips per cookie is
what counts.
 Both types of ready-to-bake cookies were
chock full of tiny chips…
 One (the winner) had more chips than the
homemade cookies
Cont..
 Tasters
praised the homemade cookies as
light and chewy, they criticized their spars
dotting of chips.
 Taster wanted more chocolates bite-forbite
 The problem can be solved by adding
more chocolate chips or by switching to
the mini-chips used in the other dough.
Ready-to-bake cookies
 Two
types of ready-to-bake cookies won
not only for having the most chips but also
for their more natural, craggy
appearance.
 The break-and-bake cookies were a little
too flat and uniform to suggest
homemade.
Everything comes down to
money..
 How
much does the convenience of
ready-made-dough cost?
 Break-and-bake cookies and the sliceand-bake cookies each cost about $3.59
and give about 20-24 cookies.
 The ingredients that are used for the
homemade cookies cost about $4.50 but
the recipe makes at least four dozen
cookies..which is a better value
Cont..
 When
you have extra money.. It is not a
deterrent, the log of prepared cookie
dough is your best bet.
 Would you rather save money and make
your own cookies or would you go out
and buy everything for more money?
How to solve the mystery of
the chewy chocolate chip
cookies
 What
is the problem?
 Tried innumerable published recipes
claiming to produce thick, chewy cookies
but were disappointed batch after batch
The goal
 The
quest began: Wanted to duplicate, at
home, the big, delicious, chewy
chocolate chip cookies bought in the
trendy specialty cookie shops.
 The home-baked chocolate chip drop
cookie had to look and taste like the
ultimate, sinful cookie:
 What is the ultimate, sinful cookie???
Cont..
 Thick
(1/2 inch high)
 Jumbo (3 inches in diameter)
 And bursting which chocolate
 Mouthwatering..uneven surface texture
with rounded edges
 Slightly crispy but tender on the outside
and rich, buttery, soft, and chewy on the
inside
The solution
 One
key element in achieving this cookies
was melting the butter
 When butter is melted free water and fat
separate
 Then the melted butter is combined with
the flour, the proteins in the flour grab the
water and each other to immediately
form elastic sheets of gluten
Cont..
 After
numerous tests, varying the type of
flour, the proportion of flout to butter, and
sifting and not sifting, they decided that
the best cookie resulted from unsifted,
bleached, all-purpose flour, which has a
lower protein content than unbleached.
