    altitude changes.
    My Experiment
    For my experiment, I made one batch of
    cookie batter and made around 10 cookies
    per round of baking. The first round of 10
    was baked at 325 degrees, the second round
    was baked at 350, and the third round was
    baked at 375. I hypothesized that the cookies Height of cookies baked at 325.
    baked at the lowest temperature (325) to be
    flat and more crunchy, the cookies baked at
    the “perfect” temperature (350) to be fluffy
    and chewy, and the cookies baked at the
    highest temperature (375) to rise upwards
    and not taste very good.
    For my taste test I had three different
    containers, one container for each batch, and Height of cookies baked at 350.
    labeled the containers with different symbols
    to tell which container was which. Each
    person in the class (20+) chose one cookie to
    taste and was then given a survey to take and
    evaluate the cookie they tasted. After all of
    the survey results were collected, I found
    that the favorite cookie was the cookie baked
    at 325 because it was the most visually Width (2 inches) of cookie baked at 350.
    appealing and chewy compared to the other
    cookies. This went against my hypothesis and
    proved 1 out of 3 parts wrong. The 375
    cookies and the 350 cookies resulted in the
    ways I expected.

    around 176 degrees. When the carbon
    dioxide is released the baking soda releases
    bubbles in the dough to give it the perfect
    consistency. The bubbles of carbon dioxide
    are held together by flour as it is a stabilizer
    and thickener. Because of this, the flour in
    the dough controls the rising levels of the
    cookies. Cookies need to be the best
    consistency possible so that they are able to
    bake evenly and that all parts of the cookie
    are baked. Cookies also go through the
    Maillard Reaction. The Maillard Reaction is
    shown when the food is heated to at least
    280 degrees. When heated to 280, there is a
    chemical reaction that happens between the
    proteins and sugars which is why cookies
    have a brownish color to their appearance.
