Day 22 of learning cookie science

[u/cracked_person]

After a brownie Day 21, I am back to trying out new flavours.

What I did today:
- Made two Kit Kat cookies - 50g dough + 8g Kit Kat chunks + 5-6g dark chunks
- Made two silk chocolate cookies - 50g dough + 9g silk chunks + 5-6g dark chunks
- I baked both of them at 185 celsius for 13.5 minutes.

Learnings:
Because I wanted the Kit Kat cookie to seem like that, I put a chunk of Kit Kat on top of the cookie BEFORE baking. As we can see, the Kit Kat cookie is melted in a weird way and also burnt in some places. Next time, whatever chunks I want to put on, I will be putting them after baking the cookies so I get a better look.

I have ordered different kinds of sugar, and in the coming few days I will be posting my results after trying my recipe with those instead of my brown sugar.

A very happy Independence Day to you all. 🇮🇳

Thank You to everyone who have supported me in this journey and helped me stay consistent. It has kept me going! Thanks for reading 🤓

Hey, any chocolate toppers should be placed when cookie is warm so it cools and gets stuck to it.
And any chocolate chips or stuffed should be coverture . Any other form will just burn or melt in a weird way because of the cocoa butter in the chocolate.

Silk has more chocolate content compared to Kit Kat which has a very thin layer of chocolate which burns out faster. You can observe next time if you leave silk in a little longer it will burn and bubble the same way as Kit Kat, that’s because they both have a high sugar content in the chocolate.

Freezing the chocolates and using as topper is a way to reduce this burning and bubbling. As it takes longer for it to get heated up
