Stretch The Kitchen

Our group decided to make brookies (chocolate chip cookies on top of a brownie) Day 1 was preparation and it went very well, we gathered all our ingredients and converted our recipe into metrics. Day 2 we started off by making sure we had all the ingredients again and we started with our chocolate chip mixture, then brownie and then the combining. The entire process went very smoothly and we didn’t make any mistakes but as we were putting the brownie mixture into the oven we realized we could have just used non-stick spray instead of using parchment paper and that would have made the brownie mixture look smoother. Unfortunately, our pictures would not load so we are unable to place them into this post.

After taking our Brookie out the oven we realized the center had not cooked properly and we could probably have left it in the oven longer. Overall the end product looked amazing and we are proud of converting the recipe and putting it together properly. Again, we do regret not keeping it in the oven longer because that would have made it better.  We did however realize after our brookie had cooled down and we were able to cut into cubes that the mixture cooked quite well, it could have been better. We were very impressed with the result given that we did have to make two entirely different batters and make sure that they were also done properly. The recipe was quite straight forward, we also tried out something quite different and for the brownies, instead of using sugar we substituted with honey. We felt that this really separated our baked good from the rest of the class, and to our surprise using honey did not change the flavor at all. Overall we were proud of the result and happy with our teamwork in creating it. It was a very educational lab.
