Chemistry Cookie Project Chocolate Chip

In this lab you will be converting a recipe from moles to standard cooking measurements and then using that recipe to bake some cookies! You will need the following tables in order to convert your recipe: Molecular Formula Table Use the following molecular formulas to calculate grams of ingredients. NOTE: Most of these substances have extremely complex molecular formulas. I have greatly simplified your project by listing a representative formula only.
