For my second and final home lab I decided to make double chocolate chip cookies. something that went well was waiting long enough for the cookies to cool that they didn’t fall apart on the cooling rack. Something that didn’t go to well was the actual baking of the cookies. The oven I used at school worked differently from the one I used for this home lab so the cookies ended up over done even though the ovens were set the same time and temperature. Something that I learned in class that was helpful for this recipe was to press down on the cookie with a wooden spoon to see if it is fully cooked. Next time I try this recipe I will be sure to avoid overbaking the cookies. This recipe was fun and easy to make and my family thoroughly enjoyed the end result.
