What Ingredients Do Cookies Need?
AbsractIn this experiment, cookies will be made but substituting certain ingredients.
In separate batches instead of all-purpose flour, coconut flour willbe used,
syrup instead of vanilla, yogurt instead of butter, powdered sugar instead of
sugar, and cream of tartar instead of baking powder. The hypothesis is that
the cookie with cream of tartar instead of baking powder would be the most
different. It is also predicted that the cookie with syrup instead of vanilla
would have no difference. The first hypothesis was not supported. The most
different cookie was the cookie with yogurt. The second hypothesis was
supported. The cookie with vanilla had no difference only that it was a bit
chewier.
ConclusionThe original hypothesis was that the cookie with the cream of tartar was
going to be the most different. The hypothesis was based on background
research. Both baking powder and cream of tartar have the same acidic
base. This hypothesis was not supported in the experiment. The cookie that
was the most different was the yogurt cookie. This difference between the
control cookie and the one with cream of tartar was that the experimented
cookie was darker and harder. The yogurt cookies had a bubble on the top
and were a lot lighter than the control. This hypothesis was made based on
background research. Cookies need moisture and it was thought that
melted butter and yogurt had the same consistency.
Claim
The evidence shows that if baking powder is replaced with cream of tartar that the cookie will neither feel or taste like a regular cookie.
Reasoning
After tasting the control and cream of tartar cookie, it was found that the experimented cookie was very crunchy like a normal cookie.
Data QuestionWhich ingredient used to bake cookies is the most
important and least important? This asks which cookie
ingredient including flour, baking soda, sugar, syrup, and
butter will change the cookie if it is substituted with
coconut flour, cream of tartar, powdered sugar, syrup, and
yogurt.
Hypothesis
My hypothesis is that if I substitute syrup for vanilla then
there will be little to no difference. I also predict that if I
use cream of tartar instead of baking soda it will be the
most different.
