Tasting Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes<br />Glen gets into the kitchen and walks us through what it takes to build a chocolate chip cookie recipe from scratch. Julie helps out as the two taste test multiple chocolate chip cookie recipes and discuss what they like and don’t like about each cookie.<br />Glen walks us through the idea of bakers percentage - which helps us to understand how the ingredients work with each other as well as how to easily change the amounts to get cookies with different taste and texture.<br /><br />Commercial kitchens, and recipe developers rely on ‘Bakers Percentage’ to work out what a baking recipe should be. Pretty much every Baking recipe (cakes, cookies, bread, etc) have a base formula that is known to work and give a certain result. Recipe developers take these ‘knowns’ and manipulate the percentages to create new recipes.<br />Baker’s Percentage is expressing all the ingredient amounts by weight as a percentage of the weight of the flour… not that complicated, but we’ll do a video in the future all about that.<br /><br />In the end - we change the proportion of butter and sugar to get a cookie that is chewy, crispy, or cakey.<br /><br />Over this series we will have:<br />Thin Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookie<br />Buttery Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookie<br />The All Rounder Chocolate Chip Cookie<br />Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookie<br />Coffee Shop Chocolate Chip Cookie<br />
