Today, we went into the kitchen for the first time and made cookies. The times each group came in were staggered throughout the morning so that everyone could have the correct amount of time for prep and oven time. Josh and I came in at 9 to start the day off. We were assigned to do "Thin and Crispy Oatmeal" cookies. I have never been a huge fan of oatmeal, so this was my first time ever making an oatmeal cookie. Josh and I worked really well together and had our ingredients mixed and ready to go in the oven before anyone else. We were able to put two trays in one of the ovens at 350 degrees. We checked them periodically until the edges were golden brown. One mistake we made was we put two many cookies on each tray, so they ended up spreading into each other. However, it was really easy to take a spatula and separate them into delicious individual cookies.
We were given one of each cookie from each group to taste. I was amazed at how well everyone's cookies turned out. It also surprised me to see how much variation there was. I could easily tell the difference between each and every cookie I tried. My favorites were probably the snickerdoodle and (surprisingly) our oatmeal cookies. I was proud of how Josh and I worked together to create a cookie that looked and tasted equally good.
