Cookie Unit

The unit that we are currently done working on was the cookie unit. During this unit we made a variety of different cookies. One of the cookies we made was a five layer bar. The way we made this was by crumbling graham crackers in a bowl and spreading them evenly into a pan. We sprinkled coconut over top of the crumbled graham crackers. After that was evenly spread out chocolate chips were sprinkled over top. Then we made condensed milk. The way that we made the condensed milk was by putting evaporated milk and sugar into a pot and heating it until the sugar was melted. When everything was melted it was poured evenly over the chocolate chips. Finally peanuts were added to the top and then baked. After they were cooked we used a bench scrapper to cut the bar out of the sheet pan. Once they were cut and they weren’t hard and crunchy like they should have been bars should have been, we realized we didn’t add the right amount of condensed milk. When we were making the condensed milk we had to use a certain amount of sugar and evaporated milk to make it but, when it was done we didn’t measure out the amount that we needed for the recipe which then made then more liquid then a bar. Another cookie recipe we made was a peanut butter cookie. We used the creaming method, we put the butter and the peanut butter in a mixing bowl. Then we added all of the dry ingredients and mixed it. After everything was mixed we used an ice cream scoop and baked them. As soon as they we pulled out of the oven we put Hershey kisses on top.
