Cookies

This week in cooking we made cookies. First we made all split into pairs. Them we got the recipe to make 12 cookies. We got all the equipment needed:
2 rubber scrapers
2 big metal bowls
2 plastic plates
2 knifes
2 measuring spoons 
1 measuring cups
4 measuring jug
After getting all the equipment we told our instructions.  
One person in the pair would beat the butter in the bowl. While the other person would measure 1 cup of flour and 2 tsp of baking powder. Who ever finished first would then get the sugar.
After beating the butter we then got 1 tsp of vanilla essence and put it into the butter. We then continued to beat the butter and vanilla essence. Later after the vanilla essence was no longer visible we added the sugar and continued.
Then when all of it was combine nicely we added the flour and baking powder. But we did not stir or beat the flour and baking powder. Instead we pulled the flour and baking powder to the sides of the bowl. After the dough looked light and fluffy they were ready to get wrapped up and put into the fridge. 

The next day the dough was pulled out of the freezer. We got back into our pairs and put the dough on a cutting board. We were told that we must measure the weight of the dough my dough weight was 367g also that you must divide it into 12 equal parts. My desired weight was 30.5 grams per cookie. Once that was sorted we had to cut one part of the dough and make sure it was your desired weight. But once one part of the dough was your desired weight you couldn’t go up and weigh the other ones. Once we got our desired weight, it was time to cut the others. We measured the other ones by size of the perfect one. We then set them out on the baking paper in 4 by 3. After that was done we pressed on them with a fork. Once they looked right it was time to put them into the oven. One tray was put at the top while the other was at the bottom. They in the oven for 7 minutes then they were switched around. Our ones had to stay in the oven for longer as they did not look cooked yet. Them after about 3 minutes we took them out. We moved the cookie to the cooling tray and got one to weigh. Our desired weight was 30.5g the weight it was unbaked was 31g and the weight it was cooked was 28g. Most peoples weight dropped. As the moisture in the cookie wasn’t there. My cookie looked great we got 6 cookies each.
