Hello, my name is K.W and I am taking the course Food. In this course we have discussed various things that are important to food in a science and mathematical perspective. We baked brownies, cookies, and bread, while also changed the leavening agent, emulsifier, and temperature.These are Independant variables that affect dependant variables like texture, taste etc. We also went on a field experience to an uncommon grounds' brewery in the Rigley community. Some of the math we have done include logarithmic scales, conversion factor, exponents. For this action project I will be baking premade cookies and changing the temperature for them.
Question- How will the outcome change if I change the temperature of the cookie.
Testable Hypothesis- My hypothesis is that when I lower the temperature of the cookie it will take longer to cook and will lack some of the better qualities.
Materials- Foil, cookie batter, oven
Procedure- Set oven to 315 degrees, then place cookies on foil and put them in the oven. the next step is to place the cookie dough on the foil and then place it in the oven. After that you bake it for however long it takes. Then let it cool. After that you take your second batch of cookie dough and place it on the foil and set, the oven to 350. And place your cookie in the Oven and take it out when its golden brown.
Overall, this action project was not a hard task, but my time management skills were very poor during this project. The cookie that I baked at 350 tasted better and the texture was nicer too. The cookie that was baked at 315 degrees was flatter and had a less rich taste. The hypothesis that I stated was also correct because the cookie baked at the lower temperature did come out flatter than the over one. My further question is that I wonder what would happen if I homemade the cookies and then baked them, because the cookie dough has been sitting in my fridge for a while now and I think that contributed to the outcome of the cookie.
