Experiment Results





Well the experiment was a week or so ago, but I'm sure you're still wondering how they turned out. So here we go.
The cookies were...really gooey still. Only the very top layer was "properly" cooked. The rest was still raw. So, I put a bunch of them into each of the little bowls you will see in the pictures. Then my family ate them like that, and it was good! The leftover cookie dough I rolled into little balls and froze them to eat as snacks here and there.
So the experiment did not go the way I had hoped, but I cannot complain, since no matter what happened they'd still be edible and yummy!
By the way, in one of the pictures you will see a fly in the corner of the pan. Do not worry - he did not pollute the cookies, he only drowned in the melted butter puddle. Of course, his main goal was probably the cookie, however, the puddle stopped him from successfully executing his evil plot! Mwahahahaa!!

An Experiment

Hello my fine fellows!! It has been quite some time since I last wrote. It is now the merry month of July...aka VACATION from the tyranny of school.
But not from science experiments.
So today, hot as it is, I decided to bake cookies. Butt, not in a real oven. I laid a black plastic bag on the cement of our front porch, then propped up a sheet of glass above it. The cookies were placed on black cookie sheets and underneath the glass. I put them there at two fourty-five this afternoon, and they are still there. They're not fully cooked. Oh well.
WAIT!!!
I just checked them, and they actually are pretty hard! Like any freshly-cooked cookie, they are still a bit sticky and some of the butter melted all over, but that's ok. So after this post, I will pull them out and taste-test them...And perhaps later I shall post pictures of all this!
Unfortunately I cannot put the cookies on here for you all to try. I doubt they taste any different anyway. It's just the idea of....ahem, solar energy??? I'm going green dudes!!
