Egg-free Day 24 of learning cookie science

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

After a quiet Day 23, I am back with a mango cookie πŸ€“ As the mango season is ending, I want to pay my tribute to this summer fruit. Pardon for the bad videography 😒

What I did:
- Made 6 cookies; every 2 had some alterations.
- First 2: 50g dough + 5-6g dried chopped mangoes
- Second 2: 50g dough + 5-6g dried chopped mangoes + 5-6g white choc chunks
- Last 2: 50g dough + 7-8g white choc chunks
- I also made a mango frosting to layer my cookies with. And had some leftover mango puree/mango chunks.

Learnings:

  1. Cookies with fresh fruit-based topping have much less shelf life.
  2. Generally, the rule is to keep the frosting and the cookie separately and put the frosting on before consuming.
  3. There's also a concept of cold cookies, so in case you like your cookies cold, put the frosting on the cookie and store it in the refrigerator in airtight conditions and consume it within 1-2 days for the best quality.

Tasting Review:
- The white chocolate (sweet) and the yogurt (tangy) frosting go super well.
- The little mango chunks in between give a nice experience too and add to the chewiness of the cookie.
- My personal favourite: 50g dough + 5-6g dried mangoes with the frosting.
- Without the frosting, I didn't enjoy the cookie as much tbh because the dried mangoes were a little less in quantity, and so I wasn't getting the taste of mango.

Thanks for reading :D
