The Final Deliberation

We've finally come to the end of our quest for the best chocolate chip cookie. It's time to name the winner! *Drum roll*
VANILLA PUDDING COOKIES FOR THE WIN WITH A SCORE OF 89.5/100! 
Coming in second place, the maple cookies, with a score of 81/100. The apple sauce cookies came in third, racking up a total of 78.5/100. In last place, is our potato chip cookies with a measly score of 70.5/100.

In the beginning, I was honestly just using this assignment as an excuse to bake and eat some cookies, but I surprisingly learned a lot during the process. I learned a lot about how different ingredients such as flour and sugars affect the dough in different ways. I discovered I am not a fan of sticky dough, as I find it extremely frustrating trying to get it off my fingers. I found out I am also not a fan of having to chill the dough, as I am far too impatient for that. I also learned that baking cookies is REALLY expensive. I had no idea how much chocolate chips, flour, sugar, and eggs cost until after this project.

I'm sad that this project is over, but I loved this experience. There's just something about seeing someone's eyes light up when you hand them a homemade chocolate chip cookie. My boyfriend actually asked if this could be a permanent thing in the household so he could continue to guess what the secret ingredients were! Unfortunately for him, I do not have the time nor money to make him cookies every week, so maybe we'll make it a bi-monthly event.

Thank you for joining me on the quest for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe, I hope you had as much fun as I did! 😃

Hello! My name is Jay Gaunt, and I am currently a first-year teacher candidate at Brock University! In our tech class, we will be exploring a passion project of our choosing through a process called Genius Hour. Genius hour is a fun and innovative way to allow students to creatively research and learn about something that interests them. This blog will be my journey with that project with updates weekly with what I learn along the way. The question I chose to explore for my Genius Hour Project is: How can I decide what the best chocolate chip cookie recipe is? My goal for this project is to find the best chocolate chip cookie recipe to share with my family and friends. To measure my success, I plan to create a rating system. I will create a scale from 1-5 for various categories and have myself and others evaluate each cookie. Although my rating system has not been created yet, some example categories could be taste, texture and overall enjoyment. My first step will be to find a var...
