#7 Healthy Cookie Challenge - Coconut Banana Cookies

This lab was a " healthy cookie challenge". Each group had to change some parts of the recipe to make more healthy, nutritious, and delicious cookies. My group reduced the amount of fat and put yogurt to replace the fat. To reduce the sugar, we used brown sugar and  mushed bananas. We also put oatmeal, coconut and chopped walnuts.We combined butter, yogurt and sugar together. Then we put all the dry ingredients and the liquid ingredients together in a separate mixing bowl and then mixed them together. It looked really tasty but when I ate it, it felt like it was too dry and it just tested like bananas. Next time, I would put less bananas and more coconut. This lab was really exciting and challenging because we could make our own "healthy cookies".

#6 Creative Lab : Hazelnuts Cookies

We had to choose our own recipe. My partner and I chose this "Hazelnuts cookies" recipe. The special ingredients of this recipe were almond extract and hazelnuts. We chopped hazelnuts and mixed them with the cookie dough to give the cookies hazelnut flavour. We also made icing with icing sugar and margarine and put the almond extract to make the cookies more flavourful. The almond extract also made a strong smell. I really like the taste of it and the smell. I would add more milk and put some chocolate chips next time because it was not sweet enough and too dry.

#5 Applesauce Brownies

Half of the class made regular brownies which contain a lot of fat and sugar. The other half of the class, including my group made applesauce brownies. This recipe called for applesauce to reduce the large amount of fat and sugar. We sprinkled the top with some chocolate chips and some chopped nuts and it looked really good after it was baked. We compared each other's brownies and most of the class voted for this applesauce brownies because it was less sweet and more healthy. I liked it because it was very soft.Even though there was a small amount of suger it was still sweet and tested good

#4 Flood Cookies

This lab was a three-day lab. We had to make a cookie dough and cut the cookies out of it using cookie cutters. We decorated the cookies with two kinds of icing: thick icing and thin icing. Cutting out the cookies with cookie cutters was really fun and it was very nice to see all the different shapes of cookies. My favourite part of this lab was decorating cookies. We put the thick icing on the edges of the cookies and then spread the thin icing on the middle. We also used sprinkles to make them more 3D looking. They tested so good and I would like to try this recipe again!
