Food Technology

Today at food tech we made cookies we had to assemble all the ingredients that were needed and all the tools needed to make these yummy cookies. We had to prepare the tools and made sure we had everything we needed then we were each given a piece of paper with the ingredients and the instructions on how and what to do. These are the tools we needed to make the cookie dough but firstly before we gathered everything together we needed to get our name tags and put on an apron and wash our hands and dry them and spray our benches and wipe them down to make sure it's good to work around and put food on it and to kill all the bacteria left over.

Materials:

1. x2 medium sized metal bowl.

2. x2 rubber scraper.

3. x2 wooden spoons.

4. x2 sieve.

5. x2 baking sheets.

6. x2 plastic plates.

7. x2 white bowls.

8. x2 baking trays.

Those are the tools needed to make the cookie dough. here are the ingredients we used to make these cookies. You will see that next to the ingredients it has x2 it's because we worked in groups of four to five people so we needed two times the materials and ingredients.

Ingredients:

1. x2 125g butter/margarine.

2. x2 100g light brown soft sugar.

3  x2 125g caster sugar.

4. x2 egg, lightly beaten.

5. x2 1 tsp vanilla extract.

6. x2 225g self-raising flour.

7. x2 1/2 tsp salt.

8. x2 200g chocolate chip.

Now that we have all our ingredients and all our materials needed all we needed to do was assemble all the ingredients together one at a time in order. We had to sift the flour onto a plastic plate then after the flours been sifted we needed to transport it into the metal bowl then put the butter into the metal bowl with the flour then beat it till it's nice and creamy and smooth and make sure you get every bit of flour off the plastic plate into the metal bowl after that you will add light brown soft sugar and the caster sugar and the egg and beat it again till its creamy again. Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract then mix it lightly then add 1/2 tsp of salt. Mix it lightly again then add a bit more flour and and add the chocolate chips then don't mix it just lightly fold it on top over and over then scrape the left over bits on the side and on the wooden spoon after that pick the dough up with your hands and put it onto a piece of baking paper then wrap it up and freeze it overnight. The next day take the dough out of the fridge and warm it with your hands so it can soften then you will need to weigh your dough and the you will need to workout how much will each cookie need to evenly weigh into twelve cookies then put the cookies onto a baking tray and make sure there spread out so that they can bake evenly then you will need to weigh on of the cookies and the one that you weighed before it went into the oven needs two lines on it so you know wich cookie you weighed then put the trays into the oven at fan bake at 180 degrees you will need to time ten minutes after five minutes you will need to rotate the cookies in the front to the back so it can bake evenly after then minutes take the tray out of the oven carefully and put it onto a wooden board then you will let them cool for a bit then take the cookie you weighed and weigh it again and then think about why the weight of the cookie has gone lighter or heavier and write a conclusion on why you think the it has happened then wash your dishes and clean everything and enjoy your cookies. Thanks to Mrs Hindson for showing us how to make these cookies and taking for taking it step by step. I really enjoyed the cookies i would rate them a 9/10. Unfortunately i don't have photos of the cookies because i ate them cos they were too good.
