PlanningDuring the second week of Genius hour I started to dive into the actually baking aspect of this. Since I already knew how to make some cookies I decided to start with something I knew and make cookies this week. Since I knew this I began researching what type I wanted to make. I did not want to make any average cookie like chocolate chip. I looked up special cookie recipes and found a s'mores cookie recipe. It seemed pretty simple and I already had most of the ingredients. In the KitchenThe first thing I did was lay out all of my ingredients in order to keep myself organized. Everything was going very well and the mixing process took about 45 minutes. Most of it was pretty similar to what I already knew about making cookies but there was a few ingredients that made it different. For example, I mixed gram crackers in with the flour but still mixed the wet and dry ingredients separately then combined like I did in all other cookies I have ever made. When I finished the mixing I baked them. This is where everything went very far downhill. I baked them for seven minutes like the recipe said but when I took them out they did not look right. I accidentally made a very thin cookie cake. All of the cookies grew together and did not firm up at all. They were also extremely thin and you could not eat them with your hands, you had to use a fork. When I tasted them they tasted amazing but they just weren't cookies. Overall this is a tasteful fail. A total of two cookies are shown here |
